Wow is that valuable info! Now I wonder if the 'battery' I found last year was not a battery!?! Congratulations Peg!!!! Hope you find a marked reale! All the best FS

Hi Mark, try searching this blog - it really is helpful and is a great encyclopedia of the treasure coast http://treasurebeachesreport.blogspot.com

Nice! It may not be the silver we all hope for Peg but you are the only person holding that piece of history for the first time in at least s hundred years if not more. I was there also and found a similar small tack. And of course Terry is the best at this game and darn nice too. You may have also seen Garry Drayton too around then. So with these guys here, at least we are in the right place! 🙂 All the best!

Absolutely! I value big iron at the beach as well. Thanks

Excellent artifacts Col. Dan! Were you Using your beach three tones settings?

Seems fair. Thanks 👍

Thank you. I’ll check those out.

Mark the killer bees block loud surf? That is what I am looking to do. which model. There are a ton. Thanks

I like the wireless headphones but they let in a lot of ambient noise. I triedDifferent ear chips but no go. I hunt the beach and the surf plus wind can be distracting and drown out target sounds. So I have a pair of waterproof ear buds that I can jam in my ear holes and keep ambient sound out. Waterproof because the pin connector can get Rain, spray or splash. If it’s really raining I slip it into an upside down baggies. Placement has never been a problem. On the arm cuff band at first but now always on my shirt collar, extra cord around my neck. YMMV

"use the default master volume setting on the 800 and crank the headphones." This is what I do, like above some times you want to fine tune the headset volume. And I have never depleted the headphone volume. Just be really careful when inserting the charge plug into the headset. And remember they are not water proof, I put a piece of electrical tape over the charge port if I think it may rain. (talk about overthinking it lol) Welcome

Is that epoxy?

cjc and Chase; This technique worked great on a 3 ft piece of rebar buried one foot deep at surfs edge on a saltwater beach! I dug one end to try and ID it but the length was clearly determined with the above textbook excerpt and both your explanations. Thanksgentleman!

Excellent thank you again!

Perfect. That is a good clear explanation That I can use. Thanks

Could you explain exactly how to "use Pinpoint to check for solidity"? From the above excerpt? Thanks

Makes sense, just ordered.

I have been close to another equinox at the beach less than 45’ with no emi. You could also turn down sensitivity. But by the time you do that plus noise cancel and ground balance you are limiting your machine. Easiest suggestion is simply go in different directions at first then meet later to discuss. Cell phone off or in back pocket far from cool as possible. Also noticed if my coil is the slightest bit tilted so it points at another machine or even my scoop it will pick it up. So coil management helps too. Have fun.

Tried the Col Dan method months ago and for the beach as well as inland works great. Still always remove cover and rinse all sand out of it and the coil. The coil looks like raw cured epoxy and judging by the wear on my coil cover, I would never just use it. YMMV

Thanks @ColonelDan! The research and findings you shared led me to this find today! 3 tones, FE2 experiment and settings and the tip to "dial it in for me" all came together (after I dug 8 alum tabs). Cheers!

👍!

Nailed it Colonel Dan! Question: When you found "that a lower sensitivity (13-18) was best when paired with a recovery speed of around 3-4 and an F2 setting of between 5-7. " Did that make the NOX chatty or false? Did the lowered sensitivity offset the lower recovery speed to keep the depth the same or did it add more depth? Did you stay with your 3 tone set up? Anyway, appreciate the work sir! (BTW this steady NE wind will change to East Tuesday night if you feel like a road trip, had a couple feet leave today from one beach). All the best

Makes sense for iron. So discriminating a non-iron target (above 0) say 12 would not be an issue? Other than potentially missing 12's of course. Guess it seemed like any discrimination would impact the performance or am I reading too much into it? Thx

Good report. Wonder why ML recommends all metal when as you said other items need to be discriminated out too? Thanks

Great review and plan for Daytona. re cell phone; i found that if I put the phone in my back pocket on the opposite of my detector hand there is no interference. Saturday could be the day!
