Sultan's Black Sand Honey Hole Gives Up Pile Of Greenies & Silver

After taking a month off from hunting, yesterday was a welcome day back to the beach...My body though is feeling the affects today from a ton of digging..
The day started off slow down by the water, but I eventually moved up to the black sand and then it heated up really fast..
Anyone who doubts the Excals abilities, can just look at the number of coins I dug yesterday in some really dark black sand..98% of the finds here were all dug in the black...I also learned yesterday , that I don't need to turn down the sensitivity in the black sand, but just to slow my sweep speed down to pick up the targets..At a slow speed I really had almost zero falsing and the coins were very obvious tones...
For starters I found my first Walking Liberty Half Dollar, since returning to the hobby ,,
:headbang:
Here are the results:
TOTALS:
$7.26 in Clad ( 17-Q, 29-D, 11-N & 56-P)
1918 Walking Liberty Half Dollar
1946 Silver Quarter
1999 Turkey 50 Coin
Phila Septa Trolly Token
New York City Souvenir Key
A bunch of Asst Keys, One Sinker & Lure
What a fun hunt to get my blood pumping again !!! :hello2:

Nice day detecting! Lots of green coins,been there for awhile. I have never been to a beach with black sand that heavy. Mind if I ask what part of the country you are hunting in?

Your digging arm must be the size of your leg. That is a lot of targets. There is bound to be some gold there!

I have an Excal II, which is around 10 months old..

I haven't had a single real issue with the machine and couldn' be happier :)

I have around $280. in clad, some gold and silver and a bunch of interesting finds..

really ahve not had it in the water that much...Mostly wet, dry and small surf...

It has never been submerged, so really no issues at all...I also only hunt in PP/All Metal Mode..
