OBX Beach Hunt yields mainly "Clad", but a okay Hunt !

Reef Runner · Aug 31, 2016

Back at OBX for the week, so I decided to take the AT Pro out for a stroll on the beach. Didn't find anything spectacular, but still, not a bad hunt......

25 pennys
6 nickels
17 dimes
28 quarters

76 coins ($9.25)

Don't you just love it, when the quarter count beats out the coppers !!

Nice! We leave for there in a little over a week and are staying in the northern part of Nags Head. Where did you mainly hunt with your AT Pro? I have the same detector. Any tips/ tricks you found you needed to do to set it up properly? Thanks!

No particular place, mainly dry sand along the towel / blanket line.

As for set- up, I run Pro Custom, 35 iron discrimination, nothing notched out, next to the highest sensitivity setting, oh, and ground balance often. Probably not the optimum, but it works just fine for me (I'm sure other's will have other opinions). When you get a questionable signal (sounds good but not truly clear, or maybe just a bit ragged), hit the iron audio and listen for a rumble tone as you sweep across the target area. If it rumbles, I usually pass. It's normally one of those pesky bottle tops. Try that before you leave home. It'll help once you hit the beach.

On second thought, forget that last part. Dig those tops, so I won't have to contend with them next trip. :lol:

Good luck..... :cool:

I wish someone would clear my beaches of those danged things. All three beaches claim that they are alcohol free. Up to a $1050 fine but there are hundreds of beer bottle caps to be found.

They are probably left from back before the "ban", or maybe from last NIGHT !

Believe me, I feel your pain...

It is a one hitter. It is for punching holes in a belt when you gain weight. :lol:

Well isn't that supposed to be good for your eyes, or eyesight, or something? You're an optometris or optamologist, or something like that, right ? (sorry about the spelling). You should know :?:

Maybe so, but it's hard to see through that tiny hole!

Sad News !

It's good to be back home, safe and sound. I suppose we made a good call, to leave on Friday morning, rather than waiting till Saturday. Some people ended up confined to their cars for up to 8 hours (Saturday), before even beginning their journey home. A deadly, wind related accident, blocked one of the main arteries off of the Outer Banks. Very unfortunately, a truck driver lost his life, as his big rig was overturned on a major bridge (Hwy 64) over the Alligator River, due to gusts which reached well over 100 mph.

Our prayers go to his family

. Such a tragedy !

Hopefully things have finally calmed down, on the Outer Banks. :no:
