Went to check out horseneck last week,, dry sand is loaded with trash , nails, bits of fence,etc not even a penny after 2 hours wet sand was devoid of targets except a silver ear ring part and a target that I have to back for as it was just above the low tide line and hole would fill with water and sides caved in couldn't dig fast enough to find target but signal was strong.. I'll post what ever it is when I go back with something to sure the sides of the hole up. Here's pic of the ear ring.
