White's DFX

I'm new to detecting. I have an e series DFX, and am wondering if I can use it to hunt around the Great Salt Lake. There's quite a bit of history there. Old beaches, towns, closed resorts etc. Many being abandoned since the fifties. Will my detector even work in that environment? the Lake is 4 times Saltier than the ocean on average. And VERY mineralized. In some spots you can walk out in the water hundreds of yards, and only be knee deep. I have a feeling that most coins would be pretty much dissolved. but gold should be able to survive. If any of you have hunted out here, or has advise, I would sure appreciate it. I have the standard coil, and a D2.
Come on pros, help me out.
Thanks
Marty

You are appealing to a limited group who have actually tried that area and environment. You are looking for someone who has an e Series DFX and has also got experience with the Great Salt Lake. If you find even one person here that meets those parameters, I would be surprised. Anybody else answering would be discussing theoretical limits and issues. You may be waiting a long time for an answer so the best thing is for you to go out there and report what you find regarding tips and etc.

In other words, you will become the pro with the answers in short order.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
