beach

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...

I am asking this question here as I asked this question on the white's forum in the talk to whites area and for some reason it got removed? I do not understand why but maybe some one here could help me. I live in AZ and going to move somewhere back south-southeast not sure where could be...

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...

WOT coil on Sovereign GT and Sovereign Elite false's way to much in salt water? Hello, I just bought a NEW WOT for my Sovereign GT and Elite and it not only is so hard to pinpoint with the gigantic coil it false's alot even with the sensitivity turned as far clockwise. It also loses alot of...

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...

Mywife & I just completed a 3 week 3661 kilometres (almost 2275 miles)Western Australian coastal camping trip from Gosnells to Exmouth (Home of theWorld Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef and Whale Sharks) and back. Although I didnot discover shipwreck treasure, by the end of the trip I had 177...

I am new to beach and shallow-water hunting. I live in Fort Worth, Texas, I swing a Garrett Acer Pro and I'm looking for a hunting buddy to introduce me to the fine art of this firm of detecting...

I'm thinking about buying a PI machine for hunting the wet sand and shallow water(up to chest deep) of a salt water beach. I'm wondering what the opinions of everyone here are as to what PI machine is best for this application. I currently use an Excal II for the beach and it's been great, but...
