Have a look at this...

Minelab E-Trac Deep Silver Coin Settings

A lot of people have been asking for my deep silver coin Minelab E-Trac settings that I use in my live digs. I finally got around to putting them up so here they are. I’ve used the E-Trac with these settings and a NEL coil to consistently pull silver dimes at a measured 9-10&qout...

The pattern shown there is what I use at the beach.

So is this a good setting for Beach detecting ?

IMO.....I think it will miss the small toe rings that come in at 1 to 3 co...white gold.... and also the thin gold chains and small jewelry....
I would think that nuke em's pattern is a little better ..... but as I said....I am no where near a beach.

Yeah and I think here in Southern California the way the beaches are so crowded with people pretty much year round I would think some would be losing toe rings small jewelry etc but I'm going to give it a shot on both patterns

That would be an interesting topic to follow from a lot of jewelry hunters...thanks.

It has worked well for me. I would say create it and test it on your machine with some of the questionable objects others have mentioned....small chains, small rings, etc. I can tell you that I have found many small SILVER rings with it and some small SILVER chains.

I wish I could tell you about all my experiences finding gold!... but I've only found a few gold items...all gold wedding bands. One was pretty thin and rang up in the nickel/pulltab range. I dont have many gold items to test with.

Oh and yes this pattern does a great job of finding pull tabs but avoids bottle caps.

I do know that I have dug a lot of indian head pennies that were in the 1 to 3 ferrous and 32 to 37 conductive that andy s pattern would have missed if I were using the andy s pattern.
No pattern is perfect so you have to use what you are comfortable with.

maybe something like a modified andy s pattern ???????
To get all the coins and rings and chains ?

make a pattern folder on your desktop and move them or copy them from downloads to the patterns folder.

 

[Elmy]

Find it all in this manual.....page 23 ...uploading patterns

And if you get a chance to detect for coins ..... only give my 1-10 pattern a try....it does get plenty deep on most found coins.
