@joska Bring it to the cookout, I'd love to see a demonstration. I'll even supply the gold. You find it - you can keep it!!

Has anyone dug for an unknown target on the beach beyond 5 ft deep?
I hunt the beaches often with a ML 800. Deepest find was a silver half dollar. 1942 Liberty. It was about 12” down sitting on lava rock. Probably been there sense the war. 5’ is pretty deep for commercial metal detector.

👍👍no problem thanks for the easy recovery I ever made but it’s all good I’m not going to take your gold but no problem finding it
Joska, I don't know how to pm you but would like to send a pm. Would you send me a pm and tell me how to do it. I like the picture of your rod. mine keeps finding pull tabs etc.

Does "Joska" think we're idiots on this site?
Length of membership is a dead give-a-way.
But, I sure do get a good laugh at the thought of dowsing rods for gold - it goes as deep as his Bulls***.

Ha ha seriously for one thing it’s not a dowsing rod but an engineered gold only locator and yes I tried many bull crap devices for over 30 years but now have what works 100 percent and no I don’t expect you to believe me but it’s all good

did santa claus bring you that
Our team and I put a lot of work to engineering this gold locating device and works 100 percent and I can easily hit big targets with it easily at a long distance in and out of water and it’s 100 percent discrimination as well

You guys are forgetting one thing....a 5 foot deep hole in florida Beach sand is virtually impossible by hand !! Go ahead and try....its a challenge just to keep it from filling and collapsing in on its self. Your gonna scoop out enormous amounts of sand, because the hole will have to be at least as wide as it is deep. And if you haven't hit water it's a miracle ✨️ 👌!! If your working in the kinetic surf zone, or intertidal zone you will have great difficulties !! Not totally impossible, but very difficult with out heavy equipment.

Yes you’re right about that but I have seen posts where people are successful in digging but yes it’s a challenge

Well....honestly if your not piling up the spoils around the hole that's only a 2 1/2" to 3 foot hole !! And with water in the bottom.....well that's the end of the road !!

You should head over to Oak Island in Nove Scotia, the Lagina brothers need your help.
