Since I got my coil bracket installed on my Surf PI today, I went back into the water. I would get a hit and start to dig a hole. The tone would get stronger but it seems to move around. I would take out 5 or 6 scoops and find nothing. I have noticed that when I move my coil straight down in the water, I get a strong tone. When I get to the bottom and settle the coil, the tone goes away. This is normal right?
When I check the hole, it is about the size of the coil and the only option is to drop the coil straight down into the hole. The tone sounds solid and louder than the original sounding. Is this a false signal? If I search the side of a wide hole, moving up and down the side causes a tone. What am I doing wrong?
Am I just not digging down far enough? I am usually down 16+ inches at this point.
I did find a couple of pulltabs in the water but mostly came up empty. The wet sand just at the water's edge was much more productive.
I still have a couple more days at the beach so I am hoping to get more tips to make me productive. This forum has been a lifesaver.
