Default White's MXT comes through again!

I went out and hunted at the oceanfront at 18th Street yesterday, 06/04/2011. About 1 and a half hours into the hunt, I got a sweet tone in my headset. I pin pointed the target, dug about 4 inches with my sand scoop. Pulled it out, sifting the sand out, and clank clang! It was a Coach Bangle Watch valued at about $300. BOy was that the highlight of my day! It was almost like Christmas in June!

Good Hunting!

Great find! What was the VDI? 8+ or so? Why is it worth that much? Does it work? What's it made of?

Unfortunately, I did not even look at the display! I heard a loud tone, got distracted by a nice looking lady, and just dug. Out came the watch!

I took the watch to a jeweler and he said that this watch was in excellent condition, almost brand new. We looked up the watch on the internet and saw at the Coach website that the watch was worth about $300. We also saw the same watch on ebay selling for $345. It is made of stainless steel and is a bangle watch. Coach makes designer costume jewelry and is expensive. My jeweler cleaned the watch and I gave it to my wife. Boy was she happy!

great find!! Coach is loved by the women! My wife has a collection of their purses. As a matter of fact, you just made me think of how I may be able to own more than one detector at a time

Your bottle caps come out looking much better than mine - must be the sand

BTW, my daughter wants your watch. Nice find.
