NOPE ! Didn't forget the boots either !

This time , I caught low tide and the surf was actually kinda tame yesterday too. 

Did a factory reset and went stock beach 1 , no adjustments.

NOT A THING at the water's edge.

Moved up on the towel line and managed a pull tab and a tent stake on the way back to the car...  

Had a nice talk with a conservation ranger in the lot, New head ranger in town and office closed without an appointment. (covid)...no answer on the phone . Maybe get my new pass next time ????? 

Oh BTW , I was cleaning up that dime and some crust came off the edge .....it was CLAD  after all. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGH !

Skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh kuh , that's life for a Son Of The Beach !

Good bucket list plan,,,,,,,,,, Can I borrow it ? 🤗

I can't imagine we'll see too many of those coins posted ! You were very 🍀 on that "just wasting time" hunt. 

The closeup of the penny was beautiful .

The new permission sounds awesome !

Will we find out what the mystery object is before you find it ? Staying tuned.......

Dennis DeYoung  produced some good tunes . TommyShaw was his "McCartney"

Kinda lost me for a while with Roboto but some of the best of the 80s no doubt .

Welcome aboard Dug !

Under a foundation stone,,,,good find ! It was probably put there for just that purpose...👍

I've been watching Krissy pull nuggets for a while now ..

I think she might be a gold magnet !🤗

It was good to see her get that trailer gold , and now THIS !

There'll be no worries in her camp for a good while ...🖖

Your jackhammer made that agonizing reveal go a LOT quicker.

Big karma points for you .. Hope that reef pays out big too ! 

Would you need an excuse to go there and not detect ?

Keep at it no excuses needed. You got onna them "hobbies"  ! 🖖

Another major cleanup post ! 

NOBODY can say you're not doing your bit to rid the ground of junk targets !!

Not doing a bad job of finding good stuff either as always !

Envy your digs , always a treat to see what you've found. THX . 

Welcome aboard raziel and greetings from Vespucci-land !

If you're looking to find out about detecting and prospecting , you found a good place for it !  

Plenty to see here. 

A good place to start is at this link

 And while you're reading , ask any questions you have...lots of experienced folks here will answer 'em .

If you've got some experience yourself , add your answers to other threads and post some of your experiences as well.

Pull tabs plague us all to some extent sharing an ID with nickles and some gold.

Just keep on digging and listening and eventually you'll start to recognize how the sounds of the detector relate to the items you find , making it easier to decide to dig .

I vaguely remember seeing that pope's funeral on TV a long time ago..

Your find may be a commemorative of that or maybe he toured the US blessing the masses and it was swag ?

Was there a ray of sunlight on the spot where it was found ? 🤔

👍

You got a nice pile of karma points on that hunt !

May it bring you good luck for many hunts to come.

The only modern machine I have any experience on is the Nox800 , I never used a SD2100 or the V2 but you have made me curious.

I've been looking for comparisons and I have found quite a few . One in the link Swegin posted by Doc in 2009 in rob's detectors forum seemed informative on this. 

I quoted him here. 

Let not your heart be troubled!

Absolutely the same electronics with a new Blue cover instead of the old green one. The other advantage is that rather than having to tune the OLD GREEN machine with a screwdriver, that's right, you have to use a little screwdriver to adjust the tuning screw that is inside the plate, and you get to do the same thing with the tone control with the old Green machine. With the V2 you actually have knobs to perform those functions.

No one knows something you don't! Except me maybe, and a few other people who have a long history with Minelab. On the off chance you would get a used GREEN SD2100 machine you might be unlucky enough to get one of a select group of old SD2100 GREEN machines that had the electronics board painted in a black resin, instead of Minelab's standard white resin. Now the effect of this unfortunate situation was that only the coils sold with that machine worked with it. Any other coil that was not tuned to that specific boards anomaly, would not ground balance. And that meant basically, NO OTHER COIL worked properly.

Apparently, this black resin had some kind of metallic compound in it, that jacked up the entire electronics of the board. When Minelab foud out about what this new coating they were using was doing they recalled those machines but there are still some out there. According to the serial number range about 2000 made it to the market. I have ran into two of them, when customers bought Minelab 18 inch coils and could not get then to ground balance. Sure enough, a check of the serial number and a peak inside revealed the dreaded black board of death.

Bottom line is, get a new SD2100 V2, this is every bit the awesome machine the GREEN one was, and because of the knobs and no screw driver, much more convenient. You can buy it with complete confidence, and if you get it from Rob you can rest assured he will be there to give you the great customer service he is known for after the sale.

BCOT!

Doc "

So it's hunted out because all you found was gold and a silver spoon ?😏

Hope the new D2 is lucky for ya on the trip🍀

The gold probably is mostly where everybody is prospecting.

All of the gold is never found.

You still have a shot there,,good luck to ya !

My weather be much the same on the south coast of Maine. The good stuff is coming soon ! As we Mainah's say SUMMAH , OH AYUH !
