THERE SHE BLOWS

[bootybay]

Knew that would get your attention.. I was bound and determined regardless of weather, of hitting the ocean city beaches..well, let me paint a picture of this adventure first..I wrapped my dfx up like a mummy using bright yellow tape to hold all the plastic on the parts so not to get it wet. foot warmers inbetween all the layers of socks I had on.. laced up boots.. long undies, hand warmers in my gloves... ( I sure as heck hope you caught me on first street Jeff, ya know the person who was blowing in the wind)... well got there, great low minus tide...was syked ( could barely move due to the multitude layers of clothing, so I start.. ok ok it was a lil bit windy... well, I am going about my detecting business ( ya like that one huh) then after about 2 hrs..I noticed rut row the tides comming in..well, here I am trying to pinpoint a target and I started laughing like a fool, the wind was blowing so hard that I was weaving in the wind, now you try to pinpoint when your on the verge of being blowing away.. I mean lordy, I am not heavy, but man I dam near got blowed away... then it got colder, then I thought I was in some middle eastern desert, with the sand strom that blew in... it was like OK GIMMIE A BREAK here will ya...so after losing the feeling in my finger tips I said I am OUTTA here..... I get to the car..I have as much sand in my carry bag as on the beach and sand on and in me in parts you dont wanna hear... I froze my buns offl.but I hung in there for 3 hrs.. all my crappy finds are soaking as I have no clue what they are but it seems to be all clad... no jewelry.. was very disappointed in that one... yea yea I know, if ya dont swing over it, your not gonna find it... well, I have yet to find any jewelry with the dfx...grrrrrrrrrrr sooooooooooo thats my froze my buns off and almost got blown away day... now I am thawing out.....

theres she blows,
booty

Joe I did exactly that.. the cut line... even found green coins..all reg. clad.. and I hunt slow anyways..am lucky if I get a two block area done in a few hours..sigh..and I dug every signal. I am starting to wonder if somethings wrong with my dfx.. I may send it into whites for a check up.. as its still under warranty... but am seriously thinking of getting another tector and like a village idiot.. I sold my m6 and am regretting that one..but, that didnt work on the beach well at all, worked great everywhere else but never found gold with it...I just keep swinging along...one of these years I will find something...

what is your setup? areyou using a preset load like coins, coins jewerly etc

ya know as dang cold as it was sunday.. I had a ball... but back to my dfx.. I am sending it in for a tune up and check up... I really think somethings wrong.. my m6 works great..but I have had one hell of a time with the dfx even in presets. so I going to be safe and have it checked out.... in the mean time will use another tector so I dont go into withdrawls..lol I cant help it.. I love to do it... even thou I havent found that biggie yet.. but sooner or later I will...

hh to ya all

 

[Prober]

Rae, did you make a coin garden & test the dfx? You should try it on known targets before you send it in. I don't have a dfx but sometimes I get a strange signal & it ends up being a coin...depends on how much corrosion is on the coin & whether it is on end rather than flat.
