Felix, I gave it my best shot believe me. A couple of days I was the only knucklehead out on the sand as far as anyone could see !! 30 mph winds seem to discourage people from the sand, ( not sure why tho ) ?? One stretch for around 45 minutes I didn't hear a single peep, not even iron ! I hunted in AM with the nox and the sens set to just about max. It did run flawlessly I must say. All those 50 cal bullets rang in at 28/29 so after the 3-4th one I already knew what to expect.

One time it was so bad at Va. Beach after a hurricane passed through that I could not even find a damn bottle cap with a PI detecrtor!🤣😂
As far as going on the beach when it is windy, I think they stay away due to sand getting in their eyes, and stinging bare skin.. I have encountered that while detecting in high winds..not much fun at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about cleaning/soaking the coin to see what type of ID I might see come to light ??

I like to put them in a baggie with olive oil and penetrating oil. Let them soak a week.
Take them out gently wipe. Leave a little oil on for contrast. Use a flashlight shining across the face of coin. Just mite get a date.
 
No experience with salt water and what is sticking to the metal.
Inland I heat up Hydrogen Peroxide in a microwave then and add a crusty copper penny.
The Calcium or what ever is on the coin starts to bubble and fizzle. It does not seem to bother the coin.
I repeat if needed until I can read the date.

Two good responses from Odan and CRI. I did the lemon juice soak for about 24-36 hrs with no success. Just too damm smooth of a copper. I bet it may have been a good one though, but I'll never know.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
