Went to siesta beach today after owning the detectors for a whole DAY
Got some xp in my yard and park, so I decided to try it in wet sand and dry sand.
Getting familiar with the machine in all areas so to speak.
OKAY, so tide was WAY out, so my brother and I were hitting the middle of the board.
First five seconds , I snag a pop top, and a bolt. So hey! they work!
Little brother using his 150 was having all sorts of signal issues, and lost targets, etc...I was finding any junk that happened to be there.
Some older gentlemen with a high end detector ( dont remember the brand, the controls were mounted on a tube looking thing ) came over and talked to us, found out what we had found, and I asked if he is ever on any of the forums...He immediatly got really defensive and said he never posted any photos or anything on forums...I was just like...okay.....he said the good finds are up the beach more in the dry sand then went on his way.
After a little while of signals all over the place, more scrap...etc...we decided to give dry sand a go.
It was nice having the detectors quiet for once.
My brother was popping pennies, a nickel, and a dime, right off the bat, while I was hitting bottle caps, fishing leaders, and other foil.
He ended up being a happy camper at the end of the day
We spent a total of two hours out there, it rained before the trip, and towards the end we were waiting for either the sun to go down, or another storm to nail us coming from the other side
