Compass Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 1 minute ago, midalake said: BOOM!!!!! So awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats! Thanks midalake, I really learned a lot this week. One of those things was which scoop to use when there are so many shallow targets. For a while I used an old style french fry basket like we used 50 years ago before long handled scoops were produced. While harder on the back they are so quick and efficient in target recovery that allowed me to cover a lot of ground quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scoops have more bucket>than bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I have been lately and it does help. I push up the Fe2 and keep the recovery at 6. You can even go to 7 and it becomes less chatty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Fantastic hunting, wish I had some good beaches to hunt at. All I have here is 2 small beaches that don't allow detectors unless someone lost an item and tells the staff about it. I find more gold in our creeks around here than anything, but have also found some silver in them also. One of these days I hope to make it out your way and maybe have a meet up with some members to learn how to do the beaches. Good luck, good hunting, and stay safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks VL, The reason why I had such a good week of detecting was because Mother Nature gave us a hurricane swell which corresponded with some extreme tides so a lot of sand was moved around. I could go back to the beach tomorrow and not find much of anything and that happens more often than not. Keep us posted if you do decide to come out this way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick Thanks Strick, Yes, I will always remember this past week. Well, I haven't been back to the beach that produced the most finds but some parts of that beach started filling in on Monday.
