I played hooky from work today and went back to that spot I got the 2 gold rings from 2 days ago and was rewarded with an antique gold ring.. its not marked but the gold holds at 18k the stone is citrine... I didn't stay too long today as the digging is hard... On almost every target I have to dig I have to pry up rocks.... Also the spoon handle is silver as is the 1954 quarter..

Cupajo, if I was hunting in the just the water or wet sand I could hunt 5 hours but I'm hunting in the rocks and they take it out of me moving them big things
I have to put down my scoop and detector to move some of them they are so big... I hunted 3 hours today that was enough Hi My Treasure Hunting Friend,
Just this AM I was thinking I was going to somehow have to rebuild my main scoop because the monster weighs over 12 pounds!! (The bucket is over 9" in diameter and the whole thing is heavy stainless. I built 2 of them over 25 years ago.)
I am digging much the same kind of stuff here in Connecticut (some stones too big for the scoop) and at 67 I'm starting to feel it!!!
Wish I could show the beast to you. It works great, but takes a toll on me when I lift and dump into my sifter especially when the water gets past waist deep!!!
I've looked at a lot of possible replacement scoops, but as money is tight these days, I'm more inclined to rebuild one of the two I have.
I was so tired when I drug myself and my gear the short distance to my van that I could hardly move!!!
A lot of the younger hunters out there are probably chuckling at our problems, but we've paid our due as hunters and I for one am not complaining, I'm only looking for a better way!!!
GL&HH Friends,

Dual Field is working great and the more I use it the more I know it has more depth than the PI PRO... I've been digging some incredible holes... I love the fact that I know when I'm over bottlecaps, nails and bobbiepins... bobbiepins and nails give a double blip and bottlecaps sound like iron.... I can't believe how deep I'm digging some of these coins... They say you can use the pulse delay to get rid of tiny aluminum pieces but I would lose some depth... if I wanted a discriminating detector I would buy one...
Gotta wonder about those bullets!!! Some are quite old. On yesterdays outing I found a 32gr. 22 caliber bullet in my first scoop!! Later a .45 cal (lead), and a couple of .32cals.
I suspect that a few of the local law officers were playing on the deserted beach during the winter time and have been doing so for well over a hundred years!!!
On the dry side I recently found a dozen or so 22 short cases in a small area of beach.
It's a puzzlement!!!

Cupajo

Hi
I am new to the underwater detecting hobby but would appreciate your thoughts on what might be the ideal scoop for my beaches here in Hawaii. I will be detecting in moderate surf about chest high. I have plenty of tools and am pretty handy. It sounds like you've been doing this a while and I'd appreciate your opinions.
Aloha
