mn90403 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Over on the 6000 threads they are showing a few pictures of attractive detectorists. (You don't need to know how to use a detector in order to be a detectorist.) One picture I saw had been significantly photo-shopped. There is a bit of grumbling about the use of models rather than REAL detectorists. Here is a REAL detectorist. I showed her how to hold the detector and the scoop! What a FIND! I had just a junk chain at this point but I hunted my way back to finish my 2 hour hunt and I got a small little hit. Sometimes you just have to go slow. It turned out to be a 10K .78g (.5 pw) earring at about 6 inches. This is my first gold in a couple of years with the Avantree headphones. They are quite a bit different sounding for me. It affects all the targets I hear and it also affects the pinpointing. I don't know if they are 'better or worse' than the Minelab headphones but they are different. As I was leaving the beach I got an odd signal which became more familiar but you just have to dig them once in a while. It got deeper and deeper so I suspected what it was and I confirmed it. A can at 20 inches or so. This was my haul for the 2 hours. There were a couple of steel earrings about 10 feet apart and a rusty chain which I scooped in half with the big scoop. That is a problem with the tank scoop. It will go through most everything. Be careful out there and never photo shop. Mitchel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotAU? Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Very nice find (20” of sand 😉) Did you use that scoop to dig out the main hole, or just use it when you were getting down near the bottom? I’m trying to figure out what best to use as I am thinking of trying out beach detecting for the first time and am not sure what scoop to get for dry and wet sand yet. Is that a CJK tank scoop? And yeah, you are lucky I didn’t take modeling lessons for my GPX 6000 photoshop job on that other post!😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scoop can be used like a shovel. It is easier than the pull scoop but it is slow. If targets are not too deep then the pull scoop is the go.
