As I Was Exiting The Beach In The Dry Sand ...


Recommended Posts

Have you ever had a dig and you look down and you say 'Oh MY?'

I got this hit as I was leaving the beach not too far from where I 'found' the toilet paper.  It turns out that the toilet paper is worth more than this coin!  haha  Why?  When I got the number on the 800 it was 18.  I was just about to finish my 3 hour session with a penny I thought.  When I saw the edge of a large silver coin in the sand I said this is odd.  It doesn't match.  When I got it in the scoop it was not heavy enough to be real.  I could see a couple of spots on the edge without my glasses and knew it had to be fake.  When I got home I saw the sandwich line.  You can see other fake things about it too but it is probably not counterfeit because it doesn't say United States of America on it.

There were a lot of targets and any one of the washers could have been a ring.  I dug a lot of holes.

Yeah, that would have got the blood pumping!!

Still, on my local beaches, that is a decent haul!  Gold not withstanding! Plenty of targets in the ring range! 

Next time, for the Gold!!👍👍

Are u running in FE or FE2?

Just curious😤

I have it on 0 for both and I don't know which one it goes to when I check that setting.  The next time I use it I'll see if it is on FE or FE2.  The screws come in scratchy as well as the two 'foreign' coins on each side of the fake.  I turn up the volume on T1.

If this was like the 'spot' where midalake hunts then I'd be getting more gold.

You can always switch between the two by pushing the accept/reject button...

I suggest You to play a little doing some air test on good stuff checking also for different vdi reactions on iron and rust...

From FE which was a little too scarce eliminating the garbage, FE2 can be a little too much...

Set FE To 6 and FE2 to 3...You might want to check by Yourself what suit better against bad targets.

Now You're using a sort of all metal pattern fully opened (I'm a fan of this way to use it and You of course can, being a really fast machine)...But if You don't want to begin crazy on iron and garbage littered ground, follow my advice...

Cheers

On this beach I often start digging negative 'fringe' numbers and they sometimes turn into good, deep targets.  I dug some of these pennies and trash at 12+ inches.  When I find the larger 'trash' objects then I slow down because a good heavy target could be near.

We like digging old tarnished quarters here.  It means a deep layer has been moved by wave energy and spit those quarters up on the slope.  Rings can be mixed with these.
