Below is a photo of my total take doing a little metal detecting for the first time at the beach. Some from Ocean City and some from Chincoteague area. No silver, but 1 wheatie.

I'm totally deaf. I see many talk about hearing the right sound to identify objects, but I use a combination of my White detector's visual display and feel. I sweep with one finger on the metal shaft of the detector and can feel solid hits. I'm fairly new with this, but getting better as the photo shows.

Congrats on the finds Troy!

I'm in the "near deaf" category, and have only one ear still functioning with
any hearing at all. It's tougher for us guys, but there are a few tools out there
to help us along:

Treasure Products, Inc | Home of the Vibra-Probe

The above Vibra unit attaches to the detector and vibrates when you cross
a target. It's made for those of us that don't hear, or hear well.

The Garrett Pro-Pointer would be another great tool for you (as said above),
as it vibrates when you get near that target, and is a huge time saver for recovering
located goodies.

Keep at it, and know you're not alone out there!

DizzyDigger, thanks for the info and letting me know there are others out there with the same problems. Both are great ideas, but that pro pointer would be great for saving time like you said.
