a cut in the sand, that is. 
before hitting the dirt today, i thought i'd try my hand at some beach hunting.
i didn't expect to see this huge cut in this beach! what you're seeing in the pics is a small fresh water stream that flows out through the beach (and my Ace 250 posing in the pics for a size indication, lol)
not expecting to need boots today, i couldn't search quite as much of this area as i wanted to, but where all the little rocks are in the stream is where i found over $3 in clad!
some of the coins i found are from the early 70's and others were in bad enough shape i couldn't tell what they were, other than to say copper penny's. oddly enough, i only found 1 pulltab, 1 bottle cap and 2 nails, but absolutely no other trash! and no jewelry either.
i was able to hunt with no discrimination and at 7 and 8 sensitivity and with no falsing at all. of course when i got close to the edge of the salt water, the machine would go crazy at those settings.
i'll have to hit this area again after a major storm since this cut is sure to change shape and maybe some gold or silver will show up next time.
the worst part is this beach is a bit out of the way and we just don't have the population here to go there and lose stuff.
on the bright side, i had the beach all to myself for close to 4 hours today!
