Nice going Jeff. My story is very similar. First time out with the 600 at a site that several of us have hunted very hard. Not much showing up any more, and my first coin dug was a '36 Merc at about 7". Was quite shocked, I must say...

  Good information here.  I left for the beach near Bodega Bay this week and took the E-800 out for the first time.  Kept it on factory settings for the most part. Found over 3 dollars in coins when I wasn’t getting sand blasted and blown off the beach.

Watch out for the "Birds"...

Was that the show in Temple? I was going to go, but hurt my back earlier in the week and can hardly walk.

I understand about the book and the manual...

That's pretty cool. First find with the new machine is a gold ring, and you got to return it to the owner. Nice story...
