Question for Tom. You mention not to operate a detector in the beach mode on dry sand, but to use a more sensitive mode. I wasn't aware of this.care to elaborate more? I run a Nox 600 and my friend a Manticore.

In the dry sand ...... use something like Field Mode-2 (and audio settings of your choice). This Mode is much more sensitive to low conductive gold..... to include: tiny gold jewelry....... and goes deeper on these low-conductive gold jewelry items...whilst in this Mode.

Wet-salt is a very highly conductive soil/condition.....that must be compensated for.....via using a Beach Mode. It's the only Mode that will work in a wet-salt environment.

That's it...... in a nutshell!!!]]> NASA-Tom Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum Wed, 14 Feb 2024 01:46:10 +0000 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,188934,188934#msg-188934 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,188934,188934#msg-188934 Miikey Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum Tue, 13 Feb 2024 18:28:26 +0000
