Hey, at least you got out and had some fun. . . that's the important thing
Sandy areas (as seen in your video) can tough to hunt. . . many targets can get buried deep really fast especially
during flood conditions.

However, you did make a few recoveries so all is not lost. As they say in real estate, location, location, location.

I wish you all the best in your next hunt!

Thank you. The sector I brought (compadre) had a small coil, & I was in a large area. After about 2 hours, I wondered what the hell I was thinking. However, I did have fun, & my twins had an even better time. They would pick up beer bottle caps & say "here's a penny mommy"...pretty cute...& of course I had to save them! Good luck to you too!

turn your iphone to the side and you will get a wide view video instead of the narrow view, just an FYI!

 

[iCandy]

@hnd....thank you! Yeah, that video sucked!

 

[HuntNdig]

no it didn't sucks, but i think you will be a lot happier with a wide view, i took all mine with the narrow view like that for some time until i learned it took the wide view as well! It might just be a personal preference but they are easier to watch i guess with a full screen. GL and HH!

You need to get down to the edge of the river where the water washes the loose sand away and the heaver stuff stays. Just like sluice box.

don't give up

@HND.....my next one will be better!!

@jonnie...oh, no giving up here, as a matter of fact, getting ready to head out & see what today brings! I kind of figured out yesterday that if I'm going to detect a big area like I did, I need a bigger coil. I have this compadre & a piece of a bounty hunter...lol...the piece was my first detector.

How big is the coil, icandy. 8 inches is pretty much standard. A larger coil, in the 12 to 14 inch range is ok but 8 inches is normal. Measure across using a ruler.... the diameter, and tell us what it is. TTC

Good eye! That's my dads, it's a freedom 2 or something like that. Not quite sure how to use that one. It's got a dual coil

I had a ....Garrett Freedom 2 ... I used in the 80's & 90's .... I found most of my good finds with it .. I have a friend that still uses the Freedom 2..........There was the freedom 2 coin commander the freedom 2 plus and the freedom 3 and they were all about the same ........ Sort of like the Sovereign & explorer all the same but not much different........
