M6 on salt wet sand?

[Massbaycolonist]

I'm thinking of getting a new M6. I will be hunting for gold coins and jewelry on Massachusetts salt-water beaches. I don't go into the surf, but I do like to hunt on the wet ocean beach sand, especially at low tide, as I think this is an excellent area to find goodies.
According to White's website, The M6 works great on all types of ground, and it has a special salt-water setting. I think the M6 was designed to handle high mineralization. I know the M6 is not as powerful as a pulse machine on wet salt sand, but I don't want a pulse machine. I read a post that said the M6 does not work well on a wet salt-water beach. Does the M6 work OK on a wet salt-water beach?
I can answer my own question now that I have an M6: The M6 with the stock coil gets poor depth in wet saltwater sand.

The M6 has a beach ground balance setting and works great on the salt water beach.

Thank you Bootybay. Yes, I would imagine you would want to re-ground, also, when going on salt sand.
