E trac wet sand

[jondav]

went to the beach on saturday with the e trac,first time out for a while,had several coins, but quite happy as I found a 9ct ring, the missus sold it for £15 ,but what I want to ask any E trac users out there,who use this machine on the beach,do they find that this detector can be stable on some beaches,while on others,it sounds off a lot,I,ve tried lowering the sens etc,but it does not make a big difference, I would think this to be normal,if it was,nt for the fact,that my other machine an explorer2 ,is silent and stable on all the beach sites,do these detectors differ so much in the way they handle wet sand.I am going to try a bit of "mix n match" ie I will try the explorer2 search head on the E trac,to see what happens,meantime if anyone has any thoughts or solutions please reply ,thanks jon

mmm i use an e-trac, but not had the chance to visit many other beaches except my own local. And I have had interference from black sand at depth and thats about it.
sorry i can't help much more. But if its bleeps at ya, dig it. I did and found a gold gents ring last year and gold £320 for it, it was a monster of a ring.

when i first took my etrac to the beach i sometimes that it was knackered because i could go to a spot in the morning and run it at 28 sens with no falsing but then i could go back to exactly the same spot next day and it would be falsing all over the shop.thing was it was'nt falsing just there where loads more deep targets in range because sand had gone off that spot.
 i generally run my etrac at around 24 plus on the wet sand but sometimes have to cut sense down to 18.
 the etrac has done me proud last year .found a load of good stuff with it.check my posts.
