When I was metal detecting in the wet beach sand on the NC coast, my detector went crazy. The dry sand was no problem. When I detected in the wet sand or the shallow ocean water, my detector would usually detect something 8 inches below the sand almost anywhere I swept my detector. I did dig several holes and never found anything. Does the ocean water tend to give off false signals due to its salinity? Any help would be great!
I’m using a Bounty Hunter 202 with a 10 inch coil.
