Over a year at the fair now.....I love my small (6") coil !

Any day with silver in the pouch is a good day on the hunt. arrrrrrrr 🏴‍☠️

I don't watch TV much anymore , but I do remember Dave from back when I did . It's always good to see anyone do well prospecting. And on that note,,,Welcome aboard and we're gonna need more pics of that ring kingnothing420 !

Still a good haul . Not what you'd expect when you read Hollywood PinUps ! They probably sold millions of 'em..... I can't help but notice you're tight lipped about your permission hat though . OK , where do we get them? 🥸

THAT would be useful ! There's a beach cam on the bigger ones here but some people live at a beach. There's the best answer! An Airstream on the beach like Willis had in DieHard.

Well , you did it again ! Do you wear a "permission hat" or what ? 🙄 Aluminum clothes pin ?🤯 And a walker topper ! (That beats whipped cream and a cherry any day..)

You guys are amateurs. I've got this one sussed! You drop hot pizza from a helicopter using the paddle cuz it's really HOT, to flip it upside down. It lands on the ground on a suspected gold location. You land the helicopter and check the pizza for nuggets stuck to the cheese ?

And you worried you couldn't beat my hemostats ? 🤣 Just the spoons beat that thing , on usefulness alone.. Every time you start to hunt , the beach finds get nervous 🥸

Welcome to the crew lobokai My first detector wasn't a Bounty Hunter. But it was made by them ! A Rat Shack Micronta Discovery 2 It's still hanging on the wall as I type..I found my only gold ring with it. Not sure if I should credit the detector , the lady that lost it showed me exactly where to look.,,,,in 2 feet of snow . On the first beep , I shoveled all the snow under the coil into a plastic tub and brought it inside....so I can say it did beep when I swung the coil over it confirming it is a functioning metal detector ! I didn't get to keep the ring and that lady hasn't called me back to find the ring again ,,,,yet .( and I didn't say she didn't call me back LOL🤩 )

Welcome aboard Bucktrout ! Hope you decide to post more often than not much .

It's like the Beatles used to sing "All You Need Is Detector/Prospector" ! Laaa laaa la.

Welcome aboard from up ta camp ! The 600 is one capable box of wires. Make it so.

Welcome aboard Tyler ! May your every swing find "something good" !

That looked like my kind of raking it in ! Sure beats raking for sea moss.😜

That's a beauty ! Can I have it ? 😏

Braving bugs is just a part of it uptah camp. I'm not complaining about the sno* predicted for today....the temps keep the bugs unhatched , which is the only kind I like ! Everything I found last year doesn't come close to that one buckle . WTG ! You're so right about location being most important , and you're surrounded by location ! I'm told I am too but can't prove it with finds ,,,,so far.

Well , that didn't work out as planned.... A detecting buddy came over saturday morning but didn't want to go to the big beach , so we went to a small town park beach but went by another on the way(including the rock I used to fish from when I was a kid) that had more people than sand. No open ocean exposure at either and the low tide is all soft mud flats so just did a ~ 50' wide wet and 20' wide of dry x 200" stretch of sand at beach #2 . Not one solid beep except for a huge amount of ID # 1 . I decided they were not gold rings and notched it out. T-Rex went hungry , nada. Next to an old park on a small river that used to be a ford crossing called Wescustogo. It was covered in mud from recent flooding . And water was still too high to detect , even the banks were under water. My friend detected in the park around the trees and picnic tables and in the weed areas that had not grown up yet. He found junk and not sure but might have pulled out a zincoln too. I scouted out the higher ground and came away with the only non junk finds of the day . A pair of hemostats 8" down next to a big rock on the path from the parking lot and 2 pennies , 1 was a zincoln. All of these spots were less than 5 miles from the LLBean main store , expected more from places that are probably swarmed every summah . I did find a clad rosie right behind my car here on my space in storage while I was waiting for him to show up !🏴‍☠️

I'm going to a real beach tomorrow , unless that plan doesn't work out either .....

I'm a musician so I have an airtight excuse.... I just realized I posted my beach hunt in your beach thread. 🙄 No charge. I'll move it as best as I can........... Post move due to me being a dum bass (not to be confused with dumb ass.)😜 But I did leave you a couple of likes !

Nice lookin' spot . If I could drive my rig there I'd probably just park it for good ! 🤔

Like an old western star ! Slim Pickins I got a couple rings of bling this week + some green crusted wheaties , a fist full of clad , and pull tabs , lots of pull tabs since I found out a 1/10th oz coin of AU is the same ID # LOL ,,,,some day , when I least expect it , I guess. There sure are a lot of them here so the ratio is building fast . I l start skipping them by quitting time. Speaking for myself and my elbows we miss the beach ( being a son of the) and I managed to miss the week+ of negative low tides , in the day time even for some of them . However it looks like I'll be going to one of the biggest ones saturday , the 11am tide will be -.3 , not the -1.7 it was a couple days ago though. Gotta wake my scoop up from hibernation..

So I was gonna post the wheatie I found and then I saw this ! The pics were all nice and clear unlike my chromebook ones..... Daaaaaang that was a bunch of nice stuff !,, Oh AYUH First the eagle coins , and then the columbia button . 🤯 I think that might be a lead nickel , and you know you should never take any .😵 Oh , and the trigger guard looks like a duck. Now I forgot what I was gonna post. 🙄

Hey Gerry is in Idaho.😜 bet he already has at least one though. They don't make mashers like they used to anymore. Still no beach action , just the fairgrounds.

The weight of a scoop is only one aspect for me. Those big CKG titanium scoops might weigh less than my little SS T-Rex (👍 👍 ), but that much sand would cancel out the difference (and my elbows) quickly. They really need to make a smaller one before I pay any attention...... https://www.detectingadventure.com/trex-sand-scoops GO Ring Daddy GO !

Sweet sand candy ! 👍
