51 Quarters, 2 Silver, 1 Gold!

[mn90403]

Last night I went to a beach that yielded a lot of targets.  On my 6 hour hunt from 8 PM to 2 AM I got 51 quarters, 40 dimes and nickels, 54 pennies (one wheat), 2 silver rings and one 10k gold ring.  There should have been more rings!  The trash was another 50 pieces or so.  When you figure it is 4-5 scoops per target (1000 total) then it adds up to a stiff back in the morning.

I found the gold ring 2/3rds of the way through the session about the time the fog started rolling in which made for an enjoyable sight as it covered up the normal lights but there was still a mostly full moon above.  I was using the 15 inch coil and when I started I was down a couple of notches from full power.  I thought there would not be much on the beach but I was wrong and kept pushing along finding some high cuts.  Near the end of the session the detector was nearly out of power and I could hear a lessening in my headphones.

Something I've wanted to say about the 3.0 update is that it really makes the quarters crackle.  I don't think I remember them like that before and I wish they would be a little more 'solid' but perhaps it is because of the sandwich metals.

That's a great haul on any day! Was that with the Nox? Post a picture if you get a chance!??

Yes, that was the 15" Nox 800 with 3.0 update.  Don't the pictures show?
