Took the LRP out to see if it would work at all at the beach.. hunted in Disc 3, ground grabbed, discrim 25, sens 7 and 8.

It was ok.. manageable. Didn't expect to find much.

I was able to pull some pull tabs and one fishing weight at about 5 inches.

Lots of iron and one chunk of copper.

I think I prefer digging plugs in the dirt.

Copper chunk.. bought the size of a playing card and 1/2in thick.

Congrats! A day out swinging is better than a day stuck in the house!
I think dirt is better than the beach. That sand gets everywhere! Not a big fan of the beach.
Those spike look a lil like Spanish deck nails from a galleon!

You're welcome. It was a little humor brought over from the OI section of the forum. I should have mentioned that.
Still good finds and at least you got out to swing. We are at freezing here and I want to go out!

I'd look near the fire pits and sun bathing dry sand areas!

What a beautiful day on the Puget sound! Snow and rainbows

I can tell you for a fact.. they are all still there! It's metal detector over load central. But, you just never know what else could be hiding there.
