beach

Hi all - ive been hitting the beach hard over the past 5 days and have some great finds to share. All with the Deus 2 with the standard beach sensetive settings. The finds: One 1945 wheatie One 1945 silver quarter Two silver dimes One 1950 german coin One buffalo nickel with no date One silver...

One way to scoop up rings big time. Previously I had decided a walk behind beach cleaner would be good. But this outfitted with a stereo and air conditioning would better suite me. 2-3 honker diamonds a day would make the payments on this machine and then some. Imagine running your detector...

Hi All! I got a unique opportunity for work that involves traveling to San Francisco next week. I'm trying to determine if I can or should bring my detector. I'd love to hit a beach and say I've detected both the Pacific and Atlantic ocean ;) I have determined that I can not detect any park...

Hi! Been a while since I've posted here, I've learned quite a lot about detecting in the last couple years and have had many amazing finds. So this last week we had a big storm hit the coast, and I had a great day detecting and found a few rings. This one stood out the most to me. I found an...

Hey guys. I'm new here. I've been looking through the posts here for a while and finally decided to join. A little background: several years ago I tried to get into metal detecting. I impulse bought a bounty hunter platinum detector at Cabela's just because it was there. I never really got into...

Hi, I live near Richmond, VA. I’ve been MDing since early 70s. I was the White’s dealer for the Hawaiian Islands while serving in the Marines. Since then, I have been away from the sport until my PTSD approached critical mass, and I found I needed a form of therapeutic recreation that provides a...

So I recently got a used Minelab Equinox 600 on here. I read the manual online so I have some sort of idea how to use it. I went to a fresh water beach the other day and put out some coins, trash, and a gold necklace to get an idea on the different numbers that pop up for different metals. In...

I've had a Garrett AT Max for about a year and I'm having a lot of fun but I've run into a few major problems. Here in Rhode Island, the beaches are very mineralized and there are tons of hot rocks. The AT Max is screaming in my ear and makes locating a target nearly impossible. Even the...

Hi All. I am a metal detecting noob and recently got a Teknetics Delta 4000. It was very easy to set up and is super user friendly with settings. However, I need some help with picking the best settings for dry sand detecting. If I use any sensitivity above 6 it seems to pick up readings every...

this was a question someone ask me. I told them every thing being equal like in front of a busy beach with expensive condo/hotels I would pick the east coast. Why? better wave action, currents, storms compared to the more placid gulf coast of Florida say from Destin to Panama City to Gulf...

I am new to the forum. I live in St Augustine, FL only a couple hours north of the Treasure Coast. I have been detecting for about 50 years. I have had detectors that would barely detect a Sherman tank to the latest Garrett AT Max, with my sights on the CTX 3030. I have found tons of coins...

Hey Folks- Since I don't live in FL anymore, I will share my most exciting hunting site. At the beach, it pays to dig all of your finds. Here is my Not-so-secret site: Gandy Beach. If anyone knows the area, then you should plan a hunt. It's one of the most trashiest sites (because of all...

Hey guys, haven't shared any hunts in a long time.. but this is my second best hunt in 12 years of detecting. 4 Gold rings, including a 24k! This hunt only lasted 2 hours because of the tropical heat in the middle of the day. I wanted to keep going but I started getting dizzy and had the...

It's time to register for ECRDA's "Pieces of 8" beach hunt -- in Ocean City NJ hunt, May 20 & 21. We're inviting detectorists from all over to join us at our rain-or-shine 8th annual hunt! As always, we'll have three adult hunts each day, and our ever-popular Kids Hunt on Saturday (for the...

Hi everyone...I'm going to be in San Diego for a convention in July and I'd like to try some metal detecting while I'm there. Unfortunately, I won't have a car available to me, so I would need a ride to and from a downtown hotel. I'm happy to chip in for gas. I've never taken my detector on a...

On Tuesday 23 August 2016, we buried a couple items on the beach. They are/were planted just off 37th Street, 20 feet more or less parallel to the life guard chair, to the left of the chair if facing the ocean. They were buried about eight to ten inches deep. That evening, we waited on the...

Me and a detecting buddy are going to Alabama in November for a club hunt and plan on hitting the beaches pretty hard while we're there. I had started a thread awhile back about waterproof detectors and unfortunately got hurt at work and had to put the new Detector on back log. I think the trip...

I have a friend who is currently staying down there. He lost his wedding ring in a canal. He is willing to pay a reward if it is found. He knows where he lost it, just no detector to find it. I will get more details on the reward, location, etc. to anyone who is interested. Please let me...

Quite recently had to go to South Florida for business. Decided to make it a road trip and planned for a couple of stops (mainly coastal Florida). Not only would I get to see more of this country, more importantly I'd pick up some MD time along the way. The latter for sure, since I'm a newbie...
