Had the new machine to the beach today. Using the 12.5" coil I've been using with the Quattro. Running the Explorer pretty hot, not many targets and what was there was deep but did manage a 14K ring with an Opal.
Ran into Max, Low Tide Tim, and David from Suffolk. Lot's of people out there...I expect that next weekend being Memorial Day, things should really start heating up. I saw a lot of "bling" today...now all they have to do is start dropping it!
Here was my first dig...a pair of sunglasses deep in the dry sand. I was on my way to the wet. They sounded good. The signal on the screen is actually from getting my scoop too close to the coil.
Low Tide Tim in the house!
Yes, things should be heating up soon!
And the final haul...not much, but it'll do. By the way, I knew all of those pennies were pennies. But I wanted to dig SOMETHING. Happy to get gold on the first TWO OUTINGS with the new machine! Yesterday it was a gold pocket watch, which can be seen on the Explorer forum if you like.

Nice find on the ring. I hope to post some nice finds after the BIG weekend
