Detector(s) used
Treasure baron with Goldtrax
this is a simple diagram of the local beach the yellow areas are sand and just up from the shore line the is an area about three feet wide where the sea seems to have deposited what looks like coal dust I believe this to be what is black sand I also believe that gold would end up in this area the beach is littered with hotrocks after excellent advice for members here I had my heart set on a minelab sov gt however the cost is a little too high for me just know the detector I have in mind is an older model of the minelab the MINELAB SOVEREIGN XS2 I have been led to believe this would deal with blacksand /hotrocks bearing in mind there is about 26mile of coastline where iam my questions are these.

1.will the minelab sovereign xs2 handle the conditions mentioned
2.Have i got the right area to search
3.iam am trying to locate glory holes in general where will these be located


the beach in question was a hoilday hot spot in the 40s and 50s I have obtained photos of at the point in time believe it or not from around 1900-1920 there were huts there with people living in terriable conditions iam fortunate in as much as the hobby isnt particularly popular here local knowlege had led me to believe that it was used to transpot munitations across the sea to france during the second world war also that smuggling was rife here during the 17th century.

The Sov will handle the hot rocks fine. Extra larger ones or ones with an extra amount of minerals will of course set off the detector as it would all detectors. There is no getting around it except to try ESP to find targets. It would be better though to save the money for a Sov GT as it has the extra power and features you will find useful years from now. I don't recommend buying off ebay unless you trust the seller for the detector you want. But good detectors can be had and you will save lots of money that you can apply to buy gas to get to the beach. I refund pop bottles and cans myself for my gas money.
