Although, no one had any good tips for me on MDing Cable Beach (although I did get some wishes for good luck), I did manage to find some coins - 106 to be exact. I found both Bahamian and US quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies, and one canadian penny.
I used a cheap $70 Bounty Hunter, Pioneer EX from Walmart and found 106 coins in about 4 hours of MDing. The quarters were everywhere so tried to concentrate on the nickel, pull tab signals so I could find a ring but I still only found coins. It was pretty exciting to have so many targets though. I'm buying a nicer water proof detector next month.
Oh, a gent walked up and told me that he found coins laying on the beach at one spot at low tide. I hit the spot a low tide the next day and sure enough, coins on top of the sand.
Surely there were rings and jewelery there, right? I think not being able to pinpoint in the wet sand with the cheap MD hurt me. Most of my finds were in dry sand. If you're going to Nassau, let me know and I'll fill you in on more details.
I love this site. Thanks, Jason.
