[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 369796, member: 3149"] Had a bit of a beach hunt today with the Impact using the 9x5.5" coil. On dry sand, I could run DI3, Sensitivity about 78, and it ran great. On wet sand, I ground balanced in COG mode, and could have Sensitivity in the low 70s with zero falsing unless I bumped the coil on the sand. This is obviously hard to avoid, so I dropped Sens to 67. I buried a $2 coil to the depth of my small trowel maybe 13cm or so, in real wet grey sticky sand and it was pinging it with ease. I tried different modes, and the two best modes were DI4 and VLX2. This was a very quick test as the wind was howling and I was getting sand in my eyes and everywhere else, so I called it a day before I could hunt in these modes. As I walked back up the beach I flicked into Gen mode, and it was quite stable. [/QUOTE]
