I am going to err on the side of old sewer pipe . . . . lol lol

Interesting. I wasn't expecting it to be a large target at all. But that makes sense. I found a very old pipe sticking up out of the ground and the old map showed a homestead here. So I think it will be a good place to hunt. ty!

Nice finds! Making my way to the beach tomorrow for some treasure hunting woop woop! I love that shell ring, very cool.

So I was three hours into digging around and I got pretty sweaty and exhausted from the heat (90s and humid) so maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe the target is just crap? I swing the detector one way and it picks up 90s beep at about 8". The other way it picks up hardly anything. Maybe a...

Thx for the advice. I have fully submerged the ATP in saltwater and I have had some luck finding clad and cans at a few inches of depth... It does struggle to ground balance the salt and I probably should've gone with the Minelab in hindsight. Luckily I didn't purchase it solely for saltwater...

Well, so far I have fully submerged it in saltwater, and it worked! I found clad and some cans, at around a few inches deep. It claims to be fully waterproof? Shoot, if it breaks I send it back for a full refund on the grounds of false advertisement! I am such a noob at this point, but my goal...

actually, yes:icon_jokercolor:. I have been finding those can closures, how did you know?!?!

Nice tips, thanks!

WOW those are seriously huge seatrouts!!!

Yes, the mangrove snapper are just totally delicious, and there is no limit to size or how many!

Sooooooo cool! OMG that poision bottle. I love it!!! How do you know where to look to find these things?? Random luck?

Saltwater fishing is fun! Had a good day on the bay today. Two beautiful speckled seatrout (around 20 inches) and a few mangrove snapper. Caught a couple red drum but weren't legal.

Thanks for all of the advice. It is interesting to learn that zinc pennies are crap! I have been digging all signals thus far and will remain to do so. What a learning curve! I've been working on underwater detecting as well, which is proving its own difficulties. But its really fun. I just...

Wow, I had not realized how powerful salt and water can be to destroy metals! So basically, newer zinc pennies are at the highest risk of damage, correct? Any metal detecting tips for this region?

This is fascinating!

Woa, nice finds! I am working on my underwater detecting skills. Any tips?

Hi there! So I am just starting out with metal detecting, here on the Gulf Coast of Texas. I found a penny at the park, and it is dated 2015. However, it is so extremely corroded beyond belief! How could a 2015 penny get so badly damaged? It was at the park, mostly sandy soil. It has...

Beautiful spot!

Went to Taco Bell the other day, the gal couldn't give me exact change. Walmart only had cash at three lanes. Seems like a coin shortage would increase the value of coins? Scarcity = value? Probably not in this case, lol. Between the mint shutdown from the rona and people spending less cash...

I could probably do around $500.
