1st day out with the new detector

[knuckles]

I went out to a man made beach which seems to only have about 2" o 3" of sand a place in the Oakland hills called Lake Temiscal. I found afew coins namely 1996 penny, 2000 penny, 1997 penny, 1980 quarter and a very rusted 2000 dime that i found in the grassy area along with a few of the pennies in different spots. Also a nail, a Few can tabs and a crumpled up tree top applesauce lid.

All were found at differrent depths between 2" and 4" using a Famous Trails Platinum Series Advanced Metal Detector. Model #MD9300
All in about 3 hours or so.


Has any one else heard of this detector? because I cant find anyone using it elsewhere.

I want to try it on a real beach soon one that is deep sand because the Temecsal beach is clay right below the 3" layer of sand So I couldnt get a a good idea of the depth capability of my detector.

I still had fun though ,,,,Thanks all.

P.S I`ll get back to you all after the next hunt.

Don't know that machine but there is an influx of Chinese made machines right now. Perhaps? I bought an Chinese machine first time out and exchanged it because I didn't want to support the commies. Just my opinion. If you bought it through a dealer surely they have osme info on it.
