ATX Beach Detecting in Portugal and a CTX3030 Hunt

Click 'SHOW MORE' for full video description, links to gear, other associated videos and time stamps - Watch in HD. UPDATE: It has been pointed out that detecting in Portugal is not allowed. Unfortunately the laws are only in Portuguese so don't show up on search results from UK (I looked long and hard before my holiday) - check the comments section for laws and thanks to the guys who posted them....they are very harsh so I would advise viewers to avoid taking their detectors to Portugal....
The beach hunting section of the video was filmed in Portugal and the round-up of coins is from 3.5 - 4hrs hunting in a mixture of wet sand, dry sand and in the surf. The ATX is an incredible machine and transitions effortlessly from dry to wet to underwater with no need for any adjustment. I was running on 11 sensitivity but it probably could have gone higher without too much 'signal drift'.
Most of the beach section of the video is talking since the finds were all crappy modern coins - I took the opportunity to give a few thoughts on the machine and how it performed in the various conditions.
Even deep tiny targets were located with ease and the pinpointing is probably the best of any of my detectors - I love the ATX for wet sand and shallow sea water hunting.
Unfortunately we were in an area which had heavy surf all the time so the shallow water hunting was not possible - I will get underwater footage from my next holiday where the tides and waves are not so big.
