Thanks Ghound,

The last 2 or 3 hunts before this were either fairly unproductive or a matter of "taking one for the team".

It was nice to get something really awesome along with some silver coins and other stuff. I'm going to find the owner and return it, if the person isn't known I'll take it to the local Masonic Lodge. I may know who owned it already though. 🤔

This will up my karma points for the year, maybe I'll get my wife something awesome at the beach. 🙂

Thanks strick, 

I wonder if it is the Manticore's seemingly enhanced sensitivity to low conductors that makes it the latest rage with beach hunters, it goes off like a firecracker on even the smallest objects. 🤔 Many times I have spent a long time searching for what the detector found to find out it was a tiny piece of lead or a shard of Tombac.

It is a problem with that detector. I remember when I first got it I dug so much aluminum thinking jeeze this  thing cannot find any gold rings. It is real hot on low conductors as you mentioned. So you have to be careful. I’d say dig everything at the beach. But in parks, I only dig numbers 13 and above due of all the can slaw. Also, I will watch the target trace carefully. If I’m in the middle of a ball field then I will dig lower numbers, hoping it’s a chain. Lol… good luck on your beach trip.

Thanks man! ☘️

I've seen the target trace go round like a coin on a mere piece of foil. 😵 Could be I'm not used to it yet, I notice it sorta focuses in on stuff. 🤔 Lots more to learn! 🙂
