Craig T 16 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Has anyone ever used a GM1000 down at the beach? Not much into metal detecting the beach area, but since we are on lockdown looking for things to do. I only have a GM1000, and unwilling to purchase an Equinox right now. Curious if anyone else has used the GM1000 at the beach? If so, which coil and settings would be fantastic. Thank you, Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RonR 0 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I was wondering the same thing, I'm close to near 300 miles of beach in 2 states and 2 hours from my closest gpaa claim. So plan on trying the monster there and see how it does. It has already found an old rivet for me at the site of an old train wreck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
