Any update on the 6" Terra coil?

Carlesbad and De Mar are a tad far from me. However, I can take the beach train from San Bernardino and go to San Clemente with the family for a day. They play on the beach while I hunt the dry and wet sand south of the pier.
I have never seen another detectorist while out there. Actually, I have never used my 70, but I understand(?) the standard coil is waterproof to about 20-inches; but I'm reluctant to work the wet sand with it as I sometimes get caught up in a larger wave. I do not want to chance getting the coilbox wet, so if I use my 70 at the beach I would only plan to hunt the drysand. Actually I bought my 70 to hunt
placer but it is currently "warmish" in the Randsburg area.

San Clemente is nice, I do well on clad there, but, not so well on gold. Today, I went to Del Mar for an hour-$1.10, no jewelry. On the way back, I hit Moonlite Beach in Encinitas and foud about $8 and a nice petite (5-1/2) gold (14k) ring with a nice Ruby (or Garnet, I can't tell the difference) and 2 small diamonds. It may actually be a ruby because it has a nice setting, very sturdy. This was my first gold of the year too. I had a feeling that I would be finding gold soon. And, my first diamonds of the year too. Another pretty ring for my collection! I can't wait for next week to get here. I'll be "raiding" San Clemente, Coronado Island and probably La Jolla Shores and Mission Beach too.
