Was reading with interest forums on metal detecting after beach renourishment which happens often here on Tybee Island. The locals were saying it's not worth it but I went out anyways. Bought a Garrett Pinpointer and wanted to try it out. Found out I need to read instructions when I couldnt even get it to detect a quarter, lol. Was trying to figure out exactly where in the dirt should I start. Where they first place it further up on shore, or close to the ocean where they sand has been washing out to sea? It's the first time in a long time that I got to go metal detecting and that's why I went. Found a quarter, pencil, ice bucket and toy truck. On another question was looking in the White's catalog at the VERY expensive metal detectors, like the $1500 ones. Says they are for finding large amounts of treasure? Why wouldnt a regular metal detector detect that?

Sorry if my post was confusing. I could NOT get my pinpointer to work, even holding a quarter in my hand so I need to read the directions.
I have a coinmaster and it's pretty good for the beach. The problem is that they just dug up 8ft of sand an dumped it on the beach to rebuild it so I dont think I'll be finding stuff anytime soon.
Was just wondering why a regular inexpensive detector cant find treasure, described by White's as large, deeply buried items, caches of coins and treasure chests?
