Default Camping Finds
We just got back from a camping trip near Panama City Beach Florida for 4 days and had a great time. I hunted the beach to cool off but late in the day I hunted the tent camp sites in the campground and found a bunch of clad. I tried to skip the pennies but when they are right on the surface the XLT showes a high vid so I put the pinpointer right on them and pick them up too, no digging required. The ring I found in the water at the beach but forgot to post the picture there. It is a junker but I like it. Good luck, Jim

Default Woosh....
Looks like you have a coin "vacuum" instead of a detector.
Nice.

I have heard that campgrounds can be quite productive and you have certainly confirmed that. Too bad Wisconsin state parks are banned for MD'ing. Time to get permission to hunt some of the older private camp grounds. Nice haul there!

Very nice haul. There's a tent and RV campground nearby I'm going to try this fall. Did you find much trash?

Nice clad hunt!

Too many pennies to count, huh?
