100 coin day at the beach

[montereymacgyver]

I am generally on a Calif. forum. Since I used my wife's Fisher F2 on this hunt, I thought I would duplicate my post on this forum. I have been using the F2 as a back up for trashy sites and to stick the sniper coil in deep beach holes and around pilings. As you can see...it performs admirably.


"The honey-do list was huge because I had 3 days off in the middle of the week. But, I wanted a day to detect so I raced through the list like a coffee swilling beaver. I hit the beach (on the one cloudy and cooler day of the three) but what I lacked in sunshine, I made up for in targets. One hundred coins...only one wheatie in the bunch...copper to zinc ratio a respectable 50% ...a handful of tokens (modern) and a couple of interesting items. Of note is the pic of a cartridge embedded in rock and the pic of a piece of metallic slag (maybe it is just because I live in Monterey... but does anyone else see a sea otter there?)
All in all, a fun day at the beach.

Congrats on a great haul WTG! I don't know about the piece of slag but in the bullet pic it looks like a sea otter on it's back holding the cartridge.

Awesome finds..looks like the F2 works great on the beach..did you get any falsing from the salt holes..

Liquid,
I get some falsing from the very high concentrations of black sands on my area beaches...I can usually play with the sensitivity to get a point where I can hunt.

Way to swing that thing Bro! I plan to start using my F2's 4" coil sometime next month. I can't wait to see how it performs. I've already scoped out some real trashy parks.

Liquid,
My wife has an Ace 250 also and the F2 is better in wet sand hands down. In dry sand both do quite well.
