Detector(s) used
Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore mostly or oversized coil on equinox.

Metal Detecting
This particular site I go for bottles is only accessible when there's a -0.5 foot or lower negative tide ie near a full moon. Otherwise it's pretty much all under water. Found 2 milk bottles out there, a few 1950s cokes, a fancy glass bowl(not the type for smoking) , a slick flask 1920s and 1960s Gordon's gin flask. Then a month ago got a Jockey Club Bottling Works bottle with horse and rider.

These are the better ones from a trip this week. We have a hutch soda bottle, a Horlick's malted milk and a small wheaton bottle with T.C.W Co U.SA. on base.
From the school my friend hunted a bunch we have an 1883 Indian in decent shape, pocket watch case, pewter tea cup miniature, parasol slide, London Gilt button and the part that looks like a watch crown is actually from a lift arm lighter.

Very nice! Liking the soda very much.
 

Thanks all. Looks like tides aren't going to be low enough again here for a while. Full moon tides seem to not be causing negative tides after late may in this location. Earth tilt ? Seems to only be a 4 month period when you can get far enough for bottles. It not beautiful when I found it... came with sea weed salad. A few days in bleach water with the others in group photo, took the groupphoto. then it went in 5% oxalic acid solution for a while to dissolve the remaining calcium deposits from the shelled creatures that call this home. Wire stopper rotted out in the salt water unsurprisingly.
