Badger-NH Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 It's weird. I've been hunting NH/Maine beaches for for 25 years. Dry sand, wet sand, rocks. I never see bobby pins. I've owned many VLFs and one PI and often dig everything. Corroded sparkler wires occasionally but no bobby pins. It must have to do with hair fashions and different locales. We have no shortage of lobster trap pieces though, in every size imaginable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have them here too, but not as many as you probably have. Boy those lobster pieces sure do sound good and usually are deep. Remind again to me never to hunt your beaches 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you guys get excited at see rocks? We have rocky beaches (in the water) the northern part of the bay, a little over a hours drive. Been there once, never again.

Potential for good targets but hard work digging. That's where we get the old stuff dating back to colonial times. Check out these French silver coins I dug a few years ago with the CZ20. 1746 and 1791. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-NH Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 A lot of the rocks on our beaches are hot and give off a signal, usually they are in the iron range on the Equinox. One reason I was interested in the AQ is that I was hoping it might be able to see through these rocks a little better than a VLF. There are plenty more gold and silver targets hiding in the rocks but they are being masked by the mineralization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has proven itself a flop. They need to start over, scrap the target ID idea and just make an awesome PI. And while they're at it, make a new CZ machine for the beach. I don't agree with this--the AQ might have a a few opening night jitters but overall it does as advertised and has TDI Pro level depth while doing so. Huge potential. Also, initially, pins where the number one problem target with the AQ but as I've trained my ear I can hear the weakness and non-centered character of the tone. This is the level of hearing (and not over tuning) that's needed with a pulse of this caliber in order not to dig caps and iron. cjc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
