That was a first!!??? Most of the time if you get to talking with them, they end up being OK, but from a distance you get the stink eye. ? I think the problem was that I was detecting an area he already covered. There were two holes on this little island spot that emerges as the tide recedes, that he dug. When I left there were another 10 holes dug there. I think he was worried I found some great stuff. But I was digging it all, so mostly deep pull tabs and other junk. 9 hours ago, rvpopeye said: 8 1/2 hours ,,,that's not hunting . It's an expedition ! Looks like you managed to tune 'er in ! Thanks. If I lived closer to the beach, the hunts would be shorter. But driving all that way, I have to get the most out of it. Once a week is not enough but that's what I get, so I maximize my hunts. Usually my body tells me when we're done ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beaches are hit fairly hard by locals, so the deeper, better stuff comes later as the winter takes its toll on the beach. Once we lose all that sanded in effect, the deeper targets start to appear at depth. That's when the PI reaches just deep enough to get the goods before the beach erodes some more and the VLF's can cherry pick it. My dream is to live 5 minutes from a couple of beaches, so I can detect all week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D. Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Maybe we should house swap! I'm five minutes from the beaches, but want to be somewhere inland, out of state, and historic!? "Grass is always greener" and all!! Actually getting it ready to sell, do to large house value increase!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a better idea.... sell your house, buy one in New England on the coast and then trade for my house. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post schoolofhardNox Posted September 24, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 Beach hunt # 3 is done. I tried a location I have not visited for about 3 years now. A newer, small beach that I was hoping would have been ripped up a bit from previous storms. It was fairly sanded in, as the 1980’s coin layer was sitting at about 15”. This beach did not fair well for the Equinox, since targets were out of its range. I used it for only about 1 hour. Another long hunt, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM and a 2-hour ride home. Used the GPX 5000 for most of the hunt. A bit more EMI here and the 5000 was a little noisier than I would have liked it to be. A decent amount of clad, a 1937 British three pence coin, a small .925/CZ ring from China and that’s about it. As always, still good to be digging and walking the beach. I did my fair duty of cleaning up some beach trash…… So, now where is my GOLD ring??? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F350Platinum Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 How deep is most of that if it's out of range of the Equinox? Yikes. That is a lot of work. Great to be out tho! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
