Bottle cap beach hunt

[redcobra8u]

Lots of targets again today. $8 in clad, a plated earring, plated ring, and a sterling charm.....was hoping for some gold in all at trash but I guess you can't get it every hunt....even though that is my goal lol. Good luck!

Nice hunt. Gold is always my objective too. I guess sometimes the exercise is the gold. Good hunt

That Susan B. Anthony is pretty cool. Don't find those everyday. Wish more people would loose dollar coins hopefully you'll get the gold next time out. HH

Today my deepest bottle cap was 13 inches in wet sand. on the plus side I did find 2 pennies , we have a very poor beach, oh yes, I forgot the matchbox car at 11 inches.

pens fan, I use the AT Pro at this beach so I can discriminate out some things. With the Excal, I'd be digging even more than I am now. This beach has a ton of trash as you can see but it had given up some really good stuff. Good luck!

So your saying the excal doesn't discriminate well? Do you prefer the at pro over it or just for disc?

lost items, this beach I hunt has so much trash, I find it easier with the ATP to discriminate out foil, especially near the surface. I've used the Excal there before and fond myself digging much deeper and pulling up more trash. I run the ATP in pro zero with the sensitivity 1 bar from max and can leave behind most of the foil unless it's been balled up. If I had to choose my favorite machine, it would be the Excal overall and use it at all of the other local beaches. This one particular spot is the exception where it think the ATP works better in the dry.

I a also still learning the Excal so if you have some tips, I am all ears!

I'd love to throw out a few pointers on here to you but that be like asking a white belt to teach you kata! There's other black belts on here that are sure to respond once it catches HIS eye!! I keep my discrimination as low as I can, sensitivity super high without being in auto mode in the wet and dry sand but in the water in the 12-1:00 area to stop from falsing, threshold just barely heard, and volume full blast! I was hunting the wet sand one day for about 2 hours on a walk down the beach and maybe got 1-2 coins but upon turning around I decided to crank the sensitivity up ( not in auto) and gained more depth. The return hunt on the same path ways completely different from no targets that were sanded in, to digging what I'd left behind, a few quarters, pennies and dimes started to appear. If I remember correctly i think I found a silver ring or a gold earring that day. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using TreasureNet
