New to the group

[SandDog]

Wanted to say hi and I enjoy reading all the threads. I am new to the hobby and being only into it for about 4 months I am addicted. My first detector was the At max and that proved to be a mistake for beach hunting in Florida, great in dry sand but bad for wet sand or water. I think the salesman was pushing because he New I was new and he was a garret fanatic. So with my research I recently purchased the Equinox 800 and love it. For beach trip with it and found a diamond ring in about 3 feet of water. Heading back out today!trying load picture if I can figure it out.

Welcome, My T2 is the same way. It does fine in the dry sand but as soon as it hits the wet stuff it goes bezerk. I hardly ever beach hunt though so no need for me to change detectors. I prefer relic hunting anyway.

Welcome. I remember when I was new to the group - that was 5 years ago. I don't post as often as I'd like, but I do like this group and the stories are very cool!

That is a very nice find for someone into the hobby only a few months, your hooked now! Congrats on a beauty of a ring, you should try cropping some more pix of it, it really is a gem.
