Popular Post Mikeguard01 Posted May 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2021 Didn't get out this past week since I was under the weather. Started out with the detector being really unstable. Water got into the coil connector. Blew the water out of the connector and tightened the back-shell and everything was good to go. I also have noticed when I'm in shallow water she's a little noisy and a lot of falsing (water way below the connector). She's pretty stable when completely covered. I do run my machine hot in all metal. One old beach I hunt always has sand piled in to the one side. No sand movement in this area other than more accumulation. For years I said there has to be targets just out of detection range. Well not for the AQ. I did find a few targets in this area. I had to work slow since these targets were pretty close to the depth limit and I was running hot. A few pieces of crusty Silver and a nice 10K ring dated 1946.

Joe Beechnut OBN Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Mike that is a beauty! I remember several years ago you were telling me that right side could possibly hold deep gold, You sure were correct! No one else can find gold at that spot, Except the AQ and Mikes Skills!! Got to love the AQ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvr Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Excellent! Nice Buffalo nickles too. Love finding Buffalo nickles and almost never find one with a visible date. Can't tell if the date is legible on yours or not ... they look a little worn ... but a great hunt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoolofhardNox Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Great hunt! Excellent ring and silver and Buffalo's and not much junk. If after a storm that sand moves even a little, I can't wait to see what you get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are very blessed to be near the water. I remember a old-timer tell me "One could step out in the water at any spot in the bay and find something" Let everyone know, I learned a lot from Mike over the last 5 years when we had a chance to get out together. Excellent beach reader and hunter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
