Sloppy competition can lead you to gold! In regards to competition I always check out the person detecting. I make my assessment and evaluate the threat. If I see a hunter dig a deep target 3 scoops deep and than move along in a straight line, I'm all over that hole. I feel if there's one deep there's more? I learned the circle from Surfdigger and its found me gold more than once!(Thanks Brian) Here's where knowing how the other guys detectors works, can lead you to the gold. We all see them, the hunter that just doesn't have any etiquette. Digs trash leaves it on the beach with the hole, it's there right to do this? I always seem compelled when I come upon this to scoop the trash and fill the hole (step on the edge) I don't want onlookers to think it was me. I saw one of these hunters and he was swinging a White's BHID.This is great entry level mid priced detector. I had to use one for three months last year. Well I came to find it was very true on targeting. If is said iron it was all the time, if it was a coin it was unless it was a silver jewelry. And when it said jewelry it some times was but sometimes it was a coin on edge or just out of range. Well sure enough I was finding holes. One hole I came up to had a larger piece of snow fence next to it. I thought what, why would he dig iron I scooped it up checked the hole and low tone. Up came this 9.0 dwt .750 (18k)Tri color man's bracelet. Simple fundamentals here folks. Take your trash,recheck your hole, fill your hole. I believe that had I not known that detector I would have just walked away from $522 bucks!
