Yes, I got 2 golds with mine on a beach this pm. Both were in the high dry sand. I switched to the wet sand mode, and went to the water's edge, but I think that's where most of the other diggers go, so only got sinkers down there.

I used the dry sand preset. I have a custom coin mode and a custom horrible red clay Virginia dirt mode. This was the first time I used the dry sand preset, there is a lot of iron in this area, so it chirped a tiny bit, but I also did not dig aluminum bits this time out, which was really nice. I've only had the machine 3-4 weeks or so, and I really like it.

Yes, check my other post of today. No pics of the coins or sinkers. They just go in plastic jars. A complete aluminum can down 15" sounds really good, too. Dug three of these.

I picked up a nice 925 ring eyeball find at Universal Orlando while on vacation with family a few years back.

Yep it those venues (theme parks, renaissance faires, carnivals, etc.) where your MD training pays off in eyeball finds as you scan the walkways even though you are not swinging a detector.
