Ok...do you mean first time out for Everyone including you...this would be a hard guess...but I am guessing you have detected before...with 8 people who have...have not if have not I will say 112...if you all are experience hunters I will say 204!

Well I noticed you mentioned a quarter mile....not sure how these detectors will react in the wet sand/sand areas....I will say an average of 6-8 coins each so lets say 8 each making it 72... change of guess have fun and hopefully someone comes through and makes me wrong!

i say 3 coins and 57 pulltabs. they'll all walk around each other falsing each others detectors until a detector frenzy occurs. the aftermath will be one big hole!

Best of luck Rick!

I haven't found much on Oregon's beaches, for some reason they stay pretty clean. I think the time to hit them is immediately after a storm has swept much of the sand out and before the tides bring it back in. Winter and spring storms should be good.

You will probably find most of the coins nearer to the parking lot, rather than down on the beach.
