Went down to the oceanfront right after the fireworks were over for the evening. Low tide was right then so I only had a couple hours to hunt till it cam back up. It was a pretty good hunt for about 1/2 the amount of time that I usually have. I ended up with 4 rings. A junk Va Beach ring, a silver and a big men's band (large diameter) that rang up once again in the penny range at a 12.30 on the CTX, 10K 5.4 grams. The last one is one of those ear/lip spacer things. Why do they do that? LOL I guessing it's for ears but It could always come from "somewhere" else.......I'll try not to think about THAT after handling it!

Good luck all, and hope ya had a good 4th!

Congrats on the nice finds. I am impartial to gold and silver though!
 

Good move on your part to go after the fireworks. Nicely done.
Congrats on the gold.
 

Awesome Stuff. Last night the neighborhood sounded like Beruit in the 80's. Having recently moved from a small Beach community to Fullerton Calif. this was a bit of a surprise. I can't believe all of the fireworks.
On to the finds and the CTX. You say a penny rings up at 12.3? DO you know if there is a list of what rings up at what? As a rule? If there was a reference table I think it would help me understand my beast a little better. The CTX is confusing at times and sometimes I can't really understand what I am hearing. My first few weeks I was ready to toss it in the River. But let me tell you, it absolutely finds everything. Yesterday I am getting a signal in the 14's at 3 " I am sifting and pinpointing. Its in my hand then not and back in my hand. It was ringing on the smallest little bead of brass. I must have sifted it out of my hand 5 times but it sure as Shinola was there! Great finds! I love the CTX at the beach. It is a deep seeker there!
Cheers
