Popular Post schoolofhardNox Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 Well, I started my beach season a little bit early. Hunt #1… It’s been a while since I got out, so I decided to try a very small beach that I’ve done before. It usually produces some Buffalo nickels, and sometimes some silver, although not in any quantity. I split the time between the GPX and Manticore using the GPX for the upper beach and wet slope, and the Manticore for the low tide area, as well as the wet slope. I’m most comfortable using the GPX on beaches due to the fact that it doesn’t struggle with the changing sand composition or the wetness of the sand. The Manticore takes more adjusting to keep it getting the same signal width. I had to adjust the recovery speed from 6 to 4 depending on which section I was hunting. I spent about 8 hours hunting and did fairly well. 2 silver coins and a silver ring were the best finds. A bunch of change with a decent amount of wheat cents, made for a good day. I thought I was going to be detecting most of the day in rain and some thunder, but fortunately it never ever rained on my parade!!. Great to get out and start detecting a new beach season. I’m also about to start a King Philip’s war project 2x a week, so I go from not detecting for months to detecting 3x a week. ? I can feel the soreness already. ? 24 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23889-beach-hunt-2023-has-started/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a young lad ?, I could jump out of bed the next day and do it all over again, like it never happened. These days I just want a nice, easy, slow day the following morning. ? 1 hour ago, Hardtimehermit said: Good digging hardnox! you will have popeye arms in no time. ? As long as I don't have to take olive oyl too. ?. Actually I enjoy the long hunts and I just take it easy the next day. After a while I'll get back into shape. I'm just out of practice. I got a feeling here in New England we are going to have a cold winter. That I will not enjoy one bit. ? 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23889-beach-hunt-2023-has-started/#findComment-253201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
