ANOTHER DAY AT THE BEACH

[TRIPLE-SSS]

Went to the beach yesterday for a evening late night hunt. Found just under $7.00 in clad and some misc. items. I somehow managed to find what seems to be a Chinese coin and 2 Wheaties, a couple rings, one plastic and the other can't tell, and one ear ring, fake.I hunted for about 7-8 hours and my haul is pretty consistent, around the 5 to 8 dollar range for clad.
I ordered a beach scoop and will be trying my luck in the water waist deep. This will be new for me and am just wandering what kind of additional finds I'm likely to come across.
HAPPY HUNTING

Please excuse Blackies behavior of late... I am 99.99% sure your coin is a Thailand 5 baht worth at todays exchange rate a tad bit under 15 cents.

Keep scoopin'

My advice for using the AT in the ocean is give yourself time to adjust to how different it is vs using it on land. It's hard to pinpoint in the surf! I have had the best results using the "wiggle" method off the toe of the coil, then using your off foot to find the toe of the coil and then slide your foot back about 3 to 4 inches and use that as a place mark for the scoop. It can be very frustrating digging targets in the moving water. I also find that if you find a target and it seems to move around that it often is not under the sand but moving around in the surf and you will be chasing it (gets old Quick!). Get a good SS scoop with a plastic sand sifter found at wallyworld inserted in the bottom to keep small stuff from falling through ( very cheep upgrade). Hope this helps, I've used the AT for over 100 hours in the surf and it does fine after you get used to the "chirping and light falsing." I run mine at 4 bars sensitivity in pro zero mode and GB at 13 on average then manually back off two to 11.

Thanks for the advice Vinnie, can't wait till my scoop comes in to give it a go . I hope I don't come across what Blackie posted. I'll post my finds on what I find, that's if JAWS doesn't get me first.
Thanks again,
Stan.
