beach

Took my AT Pro to the beach for the 2nd time ever. Found some crusty clad, a house key, 2 bullet casings, foil and pull tabs aaannnd I have no idea what this big thing is. Weighed about 100 Lbs. Completely rusted. Any ideas?

I have read a lot of forums and taken a lot of advice, but I just wanted to post one thread of my own to make my final decision on a purchase. I am looking to purchase a new metal detector to use in fresh water and during fresh water scuba diving. I live is Wisconsin and I have to drive a long...

Hello everyone, I found this item on the beach, near the Pacific. I believe I found 2 of these, but I can only find one at the moment. It registers as metallic, of course. Any thoughts in what it might be?

Anyone have any suggestions for keeping an accurate search grid when detecting in the water (like at the beach)? When I search at the beach, I head out several yards into the water then back towards shore. I then step over around six feet and repeat the process. I find it very difficult to keep...

I found this rok about 3 years ago on a beach in Ayr, Scotland. It has a few interesting layers within the rock and I'm looking for help to identify whats going on with it!

Well, I have been swinging my ATX for six months – 100+ hours in the salt waters of New England – and the following is my opinion of Garrett's newest AT Detector. I chimed in on the forum just after receiving my ATX for Christmas. There were many discussions and first impressions posted...

Keep your eyes down on the ground. I have found more coal then I need by doing this and a very good looking fossil. Hit the beaches after rain or a storm of any kind. Look for black or dark rocks. They could be coal or fossils and look for anything metal. This is a good time to find good shells...

Hi Everyone, New to the hunt and looking to learn. Needed a MD to find a lost item in my yard and found it to be fun. Very confused about Florida detecting laws and don't want to get into trouble, cause well I hate that when that happens :-). I had hoped to wade out a little into the surf so I...

I've had my GoldBug Pro a year or so now and haven't done much but hunt on my parents 80+ acre farm that's been in the family forever. Haven't found anything spectacular but fun nonetheless! I took my MD to the beach last year and never even used it because the Bluefish were biting too well...

I will be in Mobile next week for the bowl game. I won't have much time but would love to at least swing a coil on a beach before returning to the frozen North. My only chance will probably be Monday, January 6. I can't wonder too far from Mobile but wondered if there is a beach I could hit...

We realize that these rocks aren't "treasure", but we're hoping the community can help us identify them. My 11 year old daughter has a school assignment to identify 10 rocks - we randomly picked 10 rocks from the Pacific Coast (beach rocks). We both are having a hard time identifying them and...

For those new to beach hunting this video may be of help. Anytime there is a new "cut" in the sand as shown in this video there is a good possibility of finding nice targets with a metal detector. It means that some sand has been washed away, often taking the lightweight trash with it and...

2 videos of my beach finds::hello2::hello2::hello2: What do you guys think?

Hi, this will be the first time I will metal detecting on the beach. I was wondering if any can give me some beginner tips. Thanks!

Spent an hour on a Florida Gulf Coast beach yesterday evening. Small beach, not many people there. As soon as I started detecting a man walked up and said, 'You won't find anything. A guy with a detector just left - he was here for hours and scoured the entire beach.' I thanked him and...

hi there, i was prospecting last week end in an amazing beach containing various caves... looking for some hidden treasure, and found a lot of quartz blocks containing gold. iam using a fisher gold bug MD and was wondering how to reveal the gold? what are the easiest method? i have read about...

Looking to buy a waterproof metal detector. Not looking for new. I Would be interested in an older unit that is not expensive. Prefer one owner who is looking to reduce his detectors numbers. Like I said reasonably Priced and not new.:headbang:

Hi all, Just signed up to this forum after lurking, reading and doing some research! Thinking about getting into the hobby and need a little bit of guidance and thought this was the best place to come. I currently live in Puerto Rico which has a good history of natural gold being present on...

Hello to everyone on this wonderful site. I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and say hello. Being born and raised literally next door to the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, I spent much of my childhood metal detecting, digging for bottles at old dump sites...

So, the background. I have a Spectra V3 that has limited miles on it. This is my second time taking it to the Outer Banks to hunt. The first time I took it only in dry sand. Now I'm venturing farther into the surf to try and find something a little older (perhaps). I know that the summer is not...

I hit Alki beach again as part of my continued learning. I dug about 30 holes and only came up with a few interesting things - lots of junk. But it is good to get the junk off the beach. All this was dug around the volleyball courts and down to the water line. I am using an ACE 250 and I...

Well... Maybe just an ear to pout a little. Had my best target yet on Humarock Beach this morning. Went out for a super low tide at sunrise. I had the sensitivity dial maxed LOW and the trash dial maxed HIGH (what I call my "lazy/quality" setting) over a hole I was digging to try to zero in...

All of the videos and reports of beach hunting I have seen have shown people finding all of their jewelry in the water. My Fisher's display box isn't waterproof but the coil is. Should I take the risk and go out in the water for the goods? If so, how deep should my limit be? Remember, my display...

I'm going to the beach and am planning to get some headphones for my MD to not disturb people trying to have fun an all. My budget is very tight because of the short notice, so I need something $30 or under. I don't want such low quality that is breaks after a couple of trips but it needs to do...

I'm bringing my Fisher F2 to the beach next week and I have some questions about beach hunting. Is a sand scoop really all that good? Also, where am I going to find the most jewelry? I have seen a lot of people waste deep finding rings and such. Is that the only place on the beach where jewelry...

Hello, I bought the Garrett Sea Hunter Brand New back in January with the intention of doing alot of chest deep ocean hunting. I used it about 25 times and decided that I liked hunting up on the shoreline better, after an encounter with about 10 bull sharks at Fort Desota Beach (chest deep). I...

Just bought the White Surf PI Dual Coil and am really excited to start using it. the weekend cant get here quick enough! any tips from the White PI crowd will be much appreciated! TIA :occasion14:

I have read that the 11" widescan Tesoro coil will give me wider scanning coverage and about the same depth as the 8" concentric coil that comes with the Silver uMax. That's good for me and might be enough reason to buy it. However, I also would like to scan the wet, salty sand at my Southern...
