Great report. Terry Shannon is a Florida treasure among those of us who are addicted to hunting our beaches. Hope to see you and Lois next year….👍🏻

Gold on your last day!!! Nice way to end the vacation. Now pray that your house is in good shape when you get home. Sorry we couldn’t get together this time. Perhaps next year….. if Lois still wants to come. 😉 Soldier on my friend….

You are a great representative of our hobby Bob. I salute you....🫡

Yes indeed. You’ve seen first hand how wave action giveth and taketh away! 😉😁

After years of searching our beaches, goodies have been found regardless of the method the beach is traversed. Dry sand, wet sand and surf have all yielded nice finds. It remains a game of odds and the odds favor the surf… why? People are apt to lose rings and other jewelry there due to how cool water interacts with shrinking skin. Low tide is next.. why? That was once where people played in the water and the wave action will move goodies around. Having said all this, I’ve found diamonds and gold in the dry sand as well…why? People many time remove their jewelry thinking it will be more secure in their towels, pockets or shoes etc. I personally like to arrive at the beach about 2 hours before low tide and follow the tide out gridding the wet sand very throughly….especially the low areas and scalloped areas where jewelry gets trapped as the tide recedes. If you find erosion, detect the area at the foot of the cut slowly and throughly. But again, and as I always say, that’s just the view from my foxhole….. Soldier on……😊🫡

A mite better weather than VA right now….but that’s just a wild guess on my part! 😂 Soldier on my friend…..

A bona fide snowbird in the making I detect!!! Welcome. 😊

Yet another Spanish silver!!! This is bordering on the routine for you Bob !!! 😁. Salute🫡

Truly outstanding! Salute. 🫡

Because there are numerous factors that affect detection depth, trying to fine tune the difference among coils can be tricky at best. One would need to establish the EXACT conditions to include soil type, target, target orientation in the ground, moisture content, EMI, mineralization...etc. As for air testing, that isn't the way we detect so I've never put much, if any, credence in those results. I always go by the Army philosophy I learned many years ago....Train as you Fight. Do your testing (training) with targets in the ground, not in the air. Just the view from my foxhole....

Silver is Silver...worn or not! 😁 Keep going soldier.....

Super!! 🫡

50 degrees !!!! You're a hearty soul I must say.... Down here in Florida, I consider that winter weather. 🥶 Excellent area and dedication produced some worthy finds. Good job soldier....🫡

As I've said many times....the epicenter of detecting....the right area, the right equipment and the right guy makes for great success! 🫡 😊

Excellent! Another detecting adventure well rewarded..... Tenacity rules the day. 🫡
