Popular Post Mikeguard01 Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2021 Got out this afternoon for a few hours. Hunted one of the hardest to hunt beaches in my area. Not many targets today, but good for this beach. Started off shallow and picked up a couple of nickels then went deep. When I can back in shallow the detector was erratic. I noticed if I released my hand off of the grip and grab it again it would sound off. I could release my grip and just tap the foam with my finger and it would sound off each time. Looks like once the grip gets wet you can't hunt shallow. I did pick up a deep small Gold ladies ring that the AQ hit hard on it. HH 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Nice finds, the ring is awesome and love the buffalo. Surprising good shape, is this saltwater? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if there is any relation to signal emitters in the area and wet salt conductivity paths? ... understand I'm reaching with that. In any case that seems a strange phenomena. Did you try turning sensitivity down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Beechnut OBN Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Mike you are shining with that AQ!! Got to love a machine that can come into a barren beach and find gold, much less targets. WTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try turning sensitivity down? This spot is maybe the worse on earth, everything from pollution, no targets, bull sharks, and surrounded by many possible issues. This is the spot I've taken a few and they told me to never bring them back because there are no targets to be heard...............? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Beautiful ring Mike. Looks like an older design too. Odd about the grip. Wonder how that plays into reports of bad EMI. Maybe a solvable issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackish water. Nickels hold up pretty well, but silver and copper are pretty ate up. The buffalo looks like it wasn't in circulation long since the date (1937) was raised. 21 hours ago, tvr said: Nice hunt!

Did you try turning sensitivity down? Power lines in the area do give me some EMI problems, but that's the only thing in the area. No, I didn't change the sensitivity stayed out in deeper water for the rest of the hunt. 10 hours ago, Joe Beechnut OBN said: Mike you are shining with that AQ!!

The more I use it the better I like it. 9 hours ago, schoolofhardNox said: Beautiful ring Mike. Looks like an older design too. Odd about the grip. Wonder how that plays into reports of bad EMI.

Hunting this place with the Excal as soon as the coil was out of the water it would go nuts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good test bed for extreme depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the GPX was waterproof. I would love to see how it handled at a target free beach like that. Minus the sharks of course? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewcon4414 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Been there awhile too by the pitted stone. Just a great find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
