How Many Coins/hr? For Real

LawrencetheMDer · Feb 16, 2016

Ok, just got back from 4 hrs of metal detecting a seldom scanned beach on the west coast of Florida. I know for a fact that it is seldom scanned because I averaged 22.3 coins per hr! WHAT!

On the normal sanded beach, east or west coast of Florida, I average 7 coins/hr. Well scanned beaches - I may only see 2 coins/hr. A great beach for me is around 10 - 12 coins/hr. But over 20 coins/hr! Also found a nice stainless steel (China) Men’s wedding band and a really nice looking women’s ring of hearts with diamonds (?) in each of the 20 or so hearts. It is a white metal with no markings based on the naked eye. Have to investigate the heart further…and return to the beach.

Deus v4? did some tests recently.....and trust me guys in june / july nobody will have another detector in mind

The specs look impressive. I do not see much on the forums about the durability of their detectors. Anyone have long term experience with them?

Nope don't discriminate (except iron). Going back shortly based on the tide. But first got to fix my scoop, which I bent all up and tried to fix...now the bottom is falling out and I need to solder before next hunt...and I don't have a torch or solder or flux since I'm in Florida w/o any tools and such...

Try going to an auto mechanic / auto body shop....Most do welding and for a small fee they should be able to make a good temp repair, good luck

Since you own both a CZ21 and an AT Pro.

If you could take only one of your detectors to a salt water beach with black sand throughout ...
Would it be the CZ 21 or the AT Pro?

Thanks.

If I am planning to hit the wet sand even a little, it would be the CZ every time. AT Pro will work, but it's not my first choice.

Just fired-up my Shadow Echo II from the mid 1990s and it runs as well as new. I think my old Whites detector from the early 1970s is still being used by my nephew...the good ones last for ever. Only have 4 yrs on my Excal and expect it to last a long time. You may want to start a new thread on the topic.
