Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
The East wind has really given us a nice cut in SE Florida this past week. I have a condo with a great view of a public beach and have watched 9 different people work the cut and dry beach areas. What really baffled me was that 3 of the them were not wearing headphones. They didn't seem to find very much which was not a big surprise but wondered where they learned to use their equipment. I have been on the beach everyday for several weeks and at times the wind was so strong I had some difficulty
hearing with the Excals stock headphones. Of the 9, 3 were using Excals (all greenie II's), 4 ATP's, 1Teknetics and one unknown. Most of them seemed to do ok except the two that came today with Excals. Not sure why but they didn't stay very long, either it's because this particular beach has been hunted so much or its starting to sand in.

I used an Excal Blue from wet sand to just above my ankles and a ATPro in the dry sand. My buddy who was visiting used a XP Deus mostly from water edge and dry sand. He did quite well before leaving on Monday morning.

Tried posting some pictures of the rings but having some computer issues or its me.

Those are some nice finds....!
 

It's been much too long since I found some gold so I was really happy to find these two rings. I really need to work on my photography skills.

I was really surprised to see two guys detecting on a very windy day without headphones, I guess if they were happy who am I to criticize them.

great rings!!!! good job by you!
 

I hunt the beaches a lot without headphones. Sometimes I just want to hear the beach sounds and/or the headphones get too hot on a real warm day. When the surf or wind is up, the headphones go back on so I can hear the tones. To each their own...
