First place I hunted today was near highway traffic lights, shopping centre etc - as soon as I turned the Shark on I had a constant heartbeat type signal - bad interference and I could only get targets by tuning in to irregular sounds against the pulsing norm. annoying and I moved on.....
then I had fun, new site produced 4 rings, -a stainless mens, junk kiddies and two 925's, other highlights included $22 + in change, plane and Ferrari thingy - couple of heartbreakers including the dog tag and gold coloured junk ring which both had a lovely glint when it came up - alas junk but I enjoyed variety today - as usual I left looking at the larger area I did not have time to hunt and thinking I'll be back for the GOLD later......... also I found a 1946 Silver Florin yesterday in a spot closer to home (last week a 43 threepence in same area) so hopefully some old gold will be won here - but it is hard digging - 15cm of sand then the rocky shell bed holding the targets - I have to get in by hand and remove the bigger ones, scoop a bit and repeat, ironic the best conditions for holding gold / oldies are also some of the hardest to dig...... also how? do those diamond shaped scoops work in tough rocky conditions - I think I need one - horses for courses -
HH to all.

If you are referring to the Nutall Scoop, I had one and it was great for hard pan, rocky conditions. They are heavy, but built like a tank. I bought mine for a road trip around the Great Lake and it worked great, but too heavy for everyday FL hunting.

That is a pile of treasure I would be proud of. Hit it again. The gold is there. HH, Ralph
