Definitely keep reading  , but don't hesitate asking yer questions it's the best way to get an answer !

And get up to speed with your detector , learning what they are trying to tell ya is the key to good finds , if you just keep upgrading  you keep starting from square one and the only treasarrrr will be for the manufacturer's. ( General rule is 100 hours (if yer payin' attention) just to learn the easy words it's speakin' to ya !  ( some arrrrr easier than others ) .. Not saying you won't "get lucky " ( it has a different definition here than it did in the clubs I spent most of my life workin' in....) LOL😜 ! You already got some pay dirt level luck , you found the best place to learn !       

I've been here over 3 years and I still haven't read half of what's already posted , just keeping up with the daily posts takes up some considerable time . 

Hope you finally become at one with that machine yer swingin' and start hearin' those 1776 ghosts..... 

Good Luck on yer next hunt !   🏴‍☠️

Welcome to the crew from uptah (frozen) camp  redbluffed ! 

Bydogged

I hunt beaches for the same gimped up reasons. But a nice inland permission is too hard to pass up so , every once in a while try  the turf even if just a little bit , might be your lucky day !

I only hit one beach this year. and only for a couple of hours ,,, got 2 silvers !  One was a big fat (gold plated 🙄) ring  !  Take what ya get , or somebody else will....😜  I'm living at my permission now, a 150 yo fairgrounds with new depositors every 3rd week of August.   My last good find ? a tac flashlight that lists for $ 35

See if ya can detect my Uptah Camp thread  FMI .  I'd post a pointy finger link but that's too easy for a  real Son of the Beach  , right ? 🥸

🖖 live long and prospect.

Yup yup !

 Deep down ,,you knew this all along  I think . Look at your chosen forum ID ? 😏

Too funny ! Nobody in their right mind would want me to be president of anything besides YARC  and I had to award my own title .  The crew wanted me to be The Grand Poobah , but I nixed that, sounds too much like dirty diapers !   I however approve your shirt idea , .....'tis true arrrrrrrrgh !   It's like being a gunfighter , everyone is tryin ' to beat you to the scoop !  !  Don't bother practicing  , your title is safe,,,,,for now..... 🏴‍☠️😎

Great lookin' haul ! 

Don't worry about those tabs,  we all dig 'em and  remember some of  them will be GOLD !  OK , not just gold color , I'm talkin rings and things !  Digging is the only way to know .  

Well 350 . Yer gettin' an Oh My just for the warm  temperatures !  I used up the rest of yesterday's likes on School of Hoover Nox  so am text smilie posting .. Nice yahd ya got but I think ya know that by now oooie !  Ya pulled some nice ones again ...

Another make me look bad hunt for you !  Well done ! 

Out of likes already on the first post I read , guess we don't get more till later in the day ?

Like like like  , there's 3 ,  the hard way. You can't even do 3 the easy way .😳 and an Oh My ! for doing it in the cold.

 And an Official  YARC user title "School of HOOVER Nox" (TWOhs,,,P.O.)

Do you really think a jeweler would use inferior materials when sizing a ring?  haha

Probably not but I know lots of people that can solder.

Good hunt.

That's the kind of find that makes you inhale really fast !  🥸

Glad it was real gold . Might have been sized using regular solder or cheap silver solder. 

That stone is a honker fer sure .😳  A fat chance is still a chance  ! 

I hate when that happens ! 🙃  But I bet it won't ever happen again ! 😉 

Those sure do beat a pair of readers  and a flashlight ! 👍

I got a magnifier app for my phone that works pretty good and fits in my pocket.

I can remember being mom's eyes for fine print as a kid ,,,,,, my turn needing help  now !  🙄

 Welcome in from the dark side !  What kept ya away so long ?

Sometimes I think this might be the dark side but welcome either way. 

If you signed up to ask questions , go for it !  This place is full of answers and they're usually really good ones too.. 🥸 

Welcome aboard JackMan ! 

 Pull up closer to the fire ....

So , a Daughter of the Beach  Digin the Sand ? All us Sons of the Beach welcome ya arrrrrrrrrrr ! 🏴‍☠️

Wishin' ya some buried treasarrrrrr.

Welcome topside from another "son of the beach"  ! 

You waited so long to post so guessing you might have questions (the only thing you've been missing here) ask 'em up  if it be so ....  And if you just want to post pics of finds  AWESOME !  

Be careful on THOSE beaches and good luck. 

Welcome to the gang Zedicus !

(sounds roman gladiator , cool forum ID  bet there's a story to go with it !  ) 

Good luck to ya .   Bury some matchbox cars for the mini me to find .we all like treasarrrrrrr !  

Nice pile of keeper coins !

Always fun picking up live ammo too.😵

It looks like it was worth going out . Great you could ! 

Thx 350 , now I can go to bed and dream of thawed ground. It might even come true by the time the singles come back sunday night .  Ice storm here last night.  I did actually look at my shovel and detector earlier .🙄 42 predicted later today 32 now ...

That sounds like nice weather George 👍, it's 26 here the snow that's been falling all day is changing to freezing rain.🙄.  Good Luck 

I'm trying to catch up on reading  so I use up all my likes and haven't really started yet ! 

Geeeze 350 , you killed it (again) this time ! 👍 

The D2 is bending well to your control it seems . You get a new detector every time you fine tune a setting with some of these new rigs.  🤔 

Wish one of those everywhere cobs would crawl under my coil uptah camp !  Ground a bit on the solid side right now for digging but considering detecting anyway and marking the snow over a target by spray painting a dot  for digging in April.

Need more permissions?  I think you just proved those permissions in your back yard aren't finished with this trip out.  Hunting where you already are is a way better return for hours spent overall .

Have you considered having a BBQ for owners of old farmlands , with demonstrations of how to learn more about the history of the ground they live on of course ????   ( I know , I probably spent too much time with those concert promoters didn't I ? 🙄)

    My plan is the elusive yellow will come , just keep yer sad self goin'  !   

Do you think you could bury that little cob again and swing the nox over then tell me the settings  ! 

😜🏴‍☠️     

A dream coin find for me , for you it's just another .🙄

Great score no matter how many you have already found ! 

Now , go find another !  🤩

Welcome to the forums JohnnyDigs !

Beaches are typically always changing and can be what is called "sanded in" meaning lots of soft sand deposited over the goodies layer. Sometimes it's not just the waves doing it  ! Local govs dredge sand up and pump it ashore to replenish the beach , for the people that don't detect .   

Look for areas that the waves have stripped the sand out exposing hard bottom .

Any beach can only give up what was deposited there , so high traffic popular spots especially high end tourist areas could be more target "rich" .

Permissions ? ask anywhere that you can , it gets better with practice. Rehearse an intro speech wouldn't hurt .   Be prepared to say thanks anyway if you get a no . Then ask if they know anybody....

Me thinks thou doth protest too much Mike . 

 But that in itself is a possible worthy story  😜 (I was 27 until last year when I turned 70) 

Some deny "Ain't Rightness" , at first.  

But it always sinks in eventually as more of these events happen..... those lists do help but what happens when the list is forgotten or lost ?🤯

 Speaking for myself I'm not talkin' ! (which might be an indication of lost memory)😏 but I bet everybody could add at minimum one more story ? 

I was born a musician and ALL musicians "Ain't Right" , we even have to practice it all the time.

I never realized how bad I had it till a friend told me , 147 times.....😯

I've decided we need to look at this as an exclusive club , not embarrassing confessions.

Old Farts Club , Dumbasses Anonymous  , Absent Minded Professors , Brotherhood of Boneheads ? None sound appropriate ......🤔hmmmmmmm . 

I hereby induct all those on this thread into my YARC. (You "Ain't Right" Club )

Not because of the actual stories but because you had no problem posting them in public !  OK , maybe because of the stories....🙄

 Now we shall all go forth and multiply (these stories of "Ain't Rightness" ,,,like we have a choice 🙄)
