Welcome aboard Tabdigger 

Lots of good people here !

Don't pay much attention to me though , I'm the group Weirdo !!!😜

Hang around here long enough and maybe you can change that to "Golddigger"🖖

Heya Andy !

It sure sounds like you know how to find the good stuff !

Plenty of technical stuff flowing around this forum.

All ya gotta do is dig for it !!! LOL

Steve has put together quite a reference library and guides....

A few detector engineers keeping us all in line... 

AND maybe a billion years of accumulated experience in the crew here ...Arrrrrrrrr

DIG IN ! 

Hop aboard John. 

It's a good day to get out and dig some dirt !

Well , plan to dig anyway...the only digging going on up here is the sleet from last week is softening enough to scrape it up !😉

Digging in moving water is a pain even with a scoop.

You earned that ring ! 👍

It sure was nice to see you detecting on a warm beach too. THX for the vids !

Welcome to the crew Jason !

Yer oar is waitin' on the front bench , port rail Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.🖖

Son's Of The Beach

season 2 the episode right after the last one ...When we last checked in on the beach our fearless hero went home just one step from Templar GOLD  ! Will he uncover the untold riches of Montezuma this trip ??  Maybe the Arc Of The Covenant ! 

Who Knows ?? ,,,,The Shadow do !

It was an unnervingly  warm (40*) rainy day and so I decided to take a quick run to the beach with a plan.....

High tide ugh , didn't check the chart ,The 800 stock coil  Beach 1  recovery 4  sens 20  F2-0  All metal on. Takin' ground grabs every few minutes as I wander down a low spot between the towel line and the dropoff..... Threshold cranked and movin' at a crawlI I was fixin' ta listen for faints like Joe OBN  oh ayuh. Surf was up too so NOT in the 40* water though !LOL  I forgot the boots and only had my low tops on and there's a 5 meter drop off at high tide there' , so that too !) 

Just me , 2 surfers and a few walkers and an hour to go till have to run and beat rush hours across the bridge over the shipyard.

So I walked ,,,and walked , and walked , the surf was loud but so were the headphones ! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO threshold at around 434HZ very relaxing !

WAS THAT A BEEP ? Nope just one of the dumb old endangered plovers ! Looks like lunch ta meeeee ! Got any brothers? ye be a tiny thing !

First target !  , a  - -  no ID but a tiny little gurgle in the threshold   ! So the T Rex bit off  a mouthful and went to work , first scoop and it disappeared !  second scoop  gurgle back but more gurgly ! Third , fourth , it boop toned iron ! , fifth  , louder ,,,,,,sixth IT'S OUT !    Turn on the 35 and  ?????? It's aaaaaaaaa ,,awwwwwwww little piece of trap wire !

Time's up sucker head for the car , oh well it was starting to rain a little harder.....🙄nope !

OK , targets in the pocket  , I know , goin' commando , no batman belt , or pouch.  The 35 was in the same pocket . 

Second target gurgles (in 2 directions!)  T Rex chomp chomp chomp ID 8 ,,, CHOMP, it's out !

I kick the pile and turn on the 35 m I think i see SILVER !!!!!!!!!?8?  BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ   a tiny aluminum clip from an ace bandage  . Rats !

Both very small and  deep though ,  Me likey gurgles  gurgle , gurgle , gurgle !!!!!!!

Time's really up now the rain is picking up , any day at the beach is better than a sharp stick in the eye ,      ??  Me thinks me metaphors might be  scrambling...ARRRRRRGH

OOIE ..... Sweet lookin' batch of metal pieces !

That beast looks like a backache waiting to happen !

Sure looks like it would take at least a couple of days to wear it out ...

DING DING DING DING !🤨

Welcome aboard !

Sounds like you just extended your detecting season ! 👌

Instant Karma got ya , glad it was the good kind !🤗

She basically paid it forward to the next findee by extending your membership in Finders.

Nice call on the pinpointer too.

 IOU some likes ,👍👍

Gold Ring !  Thx for taking us along out there Joe !

G_J

So you fell down the well and Lassie just saved you ?

That was a close one !

She picked a good time to get you back too ! 

(Guess she's been helping Jed find the motherlode and knew you'd want to see ......)

G-Miner

Once you see what can be done with a GPZ or a 6000 all hope is lost , you will then realize you MUST HAVE ONE  maybe two ,,,,OK three MAX ............! 🤩

 I think it's a secret but you know that guy Gerry ? (I think he can smell gold ! Or it might be taste ?  I'm not sure yet......)

Stick around GM we're on your side !  😏  Nobody's pickin' on ya,,,,,well , yet anyway. 

Besides now we're all wantin' ta hear more of that Story about a man named Jed  !

Ya didn't even get to the Ellie May part yet........😜

(I have a feeling you will have some of the crew here camping out up there when it warms up after reading that Log Book ?...)  

A good private security guard could be an option since the locals passed the buck around...

Guess you could use that excavator on the access road to slow down their production rate....plus you could fill in the hole !😛

Essex Unearthed , is that you ?

I just watched the video titled UK Southend PierI caught a quick clip of the pier (I think!). I'll look at some more of the vids....

I was thinking that looked like a LOT of flat beach there.. plenty of ground to cover !

Then seeing the speed of the tide comin' in showed how flat it was !  Was that a negative low tide ? How much tide do you have there?

3-4 meter range here . sea temp just a bit above freezing today.  (Air temp in the "not" numbers !🙃)      Some of the negative low tides here in Maine are around a half meter. I wear my wool socks in the boots for WHEN a wave tops the rubber. It always happens LOL🙄

Pinpointer on the scoop handle ? ,,,,have to try that out !👍

(My T Rex scoop handle is almost the twin of that one on the Sito.)

Welcome aboard Dasbear !  

$400 is a good price point to look for a detector . 

`This is a great place to find out everything you want to know about that BH and others as well.. I'm sure you'll be happy with what you end up with.

Where are you going to be detecting ? Maybe there's a member of the forum near you !

Welcome aboard Dave the campfire never goes out here , Posts come in from all over the globe..

I've seen some good things about that detector. I'm sure you'll find a lot of experience here with it , or just about any detector .

Poke around in the reference sections Steve has put together some good finds there !  

Your results sure is making a good point on the dig it all debate !

The beach I most frequent is usually pretty clean already.

If I hear a target tone , I dig it. 

(The T Rex might develop personality disorders if I just drag it in the sand to mark my grid all day.......) 

"Tonight , once again on our stage , for your viewing pleasure Count Cuniagau and his Big Band"  (new definition)

LOL 

I think you started it ?

Green ,,,,is the new white ?🙃 Whaaaaaat?

It's always something.....

Those dimes were a nice sight ! And,,,I guess , the green was too !   

 It's been a pretty easy winter so far, But that's over NOW    OOOOOOOOIE ! It's somewhere around zero here , I'm scared to look at the thermometer...........the sun is all alone in the sky but seems to want to hide below the tree line.

I've also lived in Death Valley (and Florida , Arizona , Texas , , New Mexico  plus many not so hot places too , 6 months are what passes for a permanent residence for most of my life...,) so here I am maintaining the "proper balance" or some BS like that😜  

I'm thinking of looking for a new digger instead of waiting for the thaw , something along the lines of a jackhammer but a little smaller , a hammer drill seems kinda not enough ,,,who am I kidding ? OK , I'm looking for one of those big excavators , do you think they're using that one on Oak Isl right now ???? 

Nice finds.

All the gang up here in actual cold country held a meeting and have decided to help you out with your cold temps !!

At high noon prepare yourself for some warmth.

We're all gonna fart in your general direction>>>>>>>😁

Hope it helped you out and feel free to ask again anytime...

THX for pointing out how soft the ground is there . We appreciate seeing things NOT made of ice.😏 The OCEAN is 32* today.

Bad luck year is behind you now.

Good luck year just begun !
