Default Today at Atlantic Beach NC

We got up early this morning and drove down to the beach. Arrived just as the sun was coming up. Only hunted about an hour and a half (had to do a lot of yard work today). Put new batteries in the old Discovery 3000 before we left. Found one nickel, two pennies and lots of bottle caps and pull tabs. Kept getting a lot of false signals too. Turned the sensitivity down and was still getting false signals. Detector worked great last time. Anyhow it was a nice morning and we enjoyed being there. Next time I will take my White's.

This beach is part of Emerald Isle. It goes on for miles just like shown here.

Would love to get out there with ya some time. I'm in Havelock and just looking to get started in the hobby. Still picking out a MD. Have any suggestions that would work well in the area for about 300 bucks? Looking at the Ace 250 right now. Just looking mainly for beach and some coin hunting at parks to start. Great pic btw!

Very nice pictures of the beach but your detector is in the wrong hand. You get decreased depth that way.
