First I went to the beach in the morning, I went into the water. Just up to my knees though, I wanted to practice
swinging the coil in the water and digging in the water. I have to say it will take some getting used to. After staring
down for so long at the water, I had vertigo!!! I had to look at some thing on the beach, it was pretty disorienting.
LOL Also, it was pretty tricky trying to dig my target without being able to see my coil, again it will take some getting
used to. LOL

Then at in the afternoon I went to an old park and found my 2nd Indian Head Penny!!! I also found 2 pistol slugs.

The combined take for the day was just $2.36, but I had a blast!!!

The IH is green, the pic doesn't show it very well.

Nice IH Fiend,
Best way I've found to keep the wave action from getting to you is to look up often while detecting. Trying to walk a straight line can mess you up if the water is moving too fast. When you get ready for some river hunting head on out here. We have some broad shallows that cough up sweeties once in a while. But the digging is a little harder than beach work.
