allways use high disc so you do not have to dig a lot of trash!

allways pass on nulls, they are just bottlecaps, pieces of iron and bobbypins.

allways swing very quickly and cover as much ground as possible in order to beat the competition.

allways wait until 5 mins before lowtide or hunt only at hightide.

only hunt on Monday morning in order to get what was lost over the weekend.

there you go, glad I could help!:laughing7:

Remind me not to fallow your Rules.
 

You forgot a couple of things..... really turn that threshold up so you dont miss any targets. Now that you have your threshold high.... you are able to turn that volume down for a nice smooth tone. You are only looking for recent drops...... so you need minimum sensitivity. If you are hunting the wet/dry sand you really dont need those headphones.... they just tie you down. Make a good coil selection..... smaller is more sensitive, so a 5 inch is perfect.

Don't forget to always swang yo machine like a pendulum for maximum coverage.
 

when detecting keep the machine off...it saves on the batteries...keep moving...its great exercise...and when someone asks did you find anything..say no and you wont be lying...HH
 

Also keep your coil cover full of sand to keep the machine balanced. Black works best!
 

Don't forget to set your discrimination to maximum, that way you won't get trash or pull tabs.
 

When you get to your location, pick the best spot, and just stand there.
In that one (best) spot, while being still and quiet,
all the gold will come to you.
 

You forgot to tell everyone the best tip to faster recovery is to drill the holes in your scoop to 1 inch this allows sand and shells to drain out quickly. And you will only find the bigger ticket items. LoL GL. HH.
