First hunt with the Sand Shark

bucketheadben · Aug 5, 2011

I just got in my Sand Shark and immediately took it to the beach. After a couple of hours, this is what I turned up with. I had a blast and I got enough clad to pay for my next beach toll! I see why you guys have magnets on your scoops. I was out there chasing a hair pin for 20 min. Anyways, I'll be back in the water tomorrow. I'm hooked!

good luck w/ your new detector and happy hunting . BTW listen closely for a double beep which sometimes tips you off that you might be chasing a bobby pin . The more you use the detector the less junk you will need to dig.

PI plus double beep = bobby pin.

HI guys,

I too have just purchased a Sand Shark about a month ago!
the more you go, the better your chances are! O and
of course you dig allot of junk too.... but I love it! HAPPY HUNTING to all.

Congrats! Gold and Silver are coming! Here are some pics from my last 5-hours at Jones Beach, on Long Island, New York with my Sand Shark.

Seems like there is very limited detecting on Washington Beaches, I don't expect to find as much as I would on California or Florida Beaches. I travel in an RV full time so my plan is to just slowly head south will keep you posted.
