So our week vacation ended and i can't but feel the week went by way too fast. Great people, weather, and experience. Thank you Garden City SC. But i digress, it took a few days to figure out what the ATPro was telling me in the wet sand and surf, but i did manage. Enjoyable experience and there's no better teacher then getting out there and swinging the coil. Here's my finds for the week, all clad, a few sinkers, a silver pendant, and a Cowboy's watch (that still works). HH

Good job.
After ground balancing. The AT does a great job for me in the wet beach sand.. one little trick I've learned is when your hunting the transition between very wet packed sand and slightly drier sand it helps to swing your coil parallel to the water instead of crossing the transition with it... get less chatter that way.

Great tip! I noticed this as well. Only took me 3 days to figure this out.

Practice makes perfect right?
After that its not the arrow.. it's the Indian.
Best of luck on your future hunts.
