First post I have had a in a while due to work .I am with the family on vacation to Cape Cod.I bought a Fisher 1280x off of eBay for 204 bucks and it works well. It is a bit chattery in the salt water but it does find stuff. On the beach it does well. I have dug lots of clad ,a v nickle ,a buffalo nickle ,5 wheat cents and a 1946 rosie . The coins are all in rough shape. That was about ten hours on the beach and in the water. Today I was at waters edge at low tide and got a signal.I started to dig in the mud/sand and out popped a small pill bottle. I thought wow that is cool .I was still digging my target when I noticed broken glass .I slowed down and started to pull broken bottels out of the hole and then I found a nice medicine bottle that was whole.Man my heart was pumping and I ended digging pieces of animal bones ,a piece of an old boot and what I think is a metal creamer top and 6 more bottles out before the hole filled with water.If any one knows what kind of bottle the black one is please fill me in.It has no markings on it. The tide was filling my hole up quicker then I could dig it back out. The beach must have went out much futher in the past because you could tell this was a trash pit at one time and not just a place where bottles floated in and rested. I will be here for 9 more days so hope to hit the spot at low tide everyday when the wife don't have us booked up . We will be in Boston all day tomorrow and I know I will be rushing to get back to the beach. 
Day 2
Well I hit the dump site today at low tide and found a few keepers but was dishearted by all of the broken stuff. I found three more unbroken bottles one more of those metal tops(they may be silver) , pieces of old shoes and more bones. I am gonna run some test holes tomorrow and see if I can find some more unbroken ones. Clam digging has been huge in this area forever and I think that is one of the main reasons for so many destroyed glass.
