5 hours low tide today on a popular beach trying out my new (Permanently now) Excalibur settings.
Every thing maxed out in all metal.
Was digging crap much much deeper than ever before.
Only found 3 coins but when what I thought was a very shinny 1p popped out.
Kaboom hart attack silly dance time.

Tis only a half but still can not stop smiling
Got the hole thing on film but gives away location so don't think I should post that
Sorry for the pore image hard to take close ups with the gopro

Boomshakalaka! Awesome find dude I love my Excalibur, they sure bring in the gold. I always hunt on auto. Did you try something different to get deeper? Try round the same area, I bet there are more coins there. It could be an area where boats sold fish when they beached, or lost in a pouch with many more coins. Great stuff anyway well done

Auto is only giving you half the depth of full power
Sens just click it out of auto so at max 8-9 on the knob
all metal mode or pin point what ever you like to call it
Threshold as low as you can still hear seems a bit mental for a bit then calms down a bit or your ears adjust.
Sounds like mosquito's flying in and out you ear but you will still pick out the signals.
I have never had so many signals on this beach.
PS its a good spot in the Rock area of Cornwall more millionaires per meter than most places on earth lol
Not uncommon to dig a couple Tag watches a year plus the gold ect
Only problem is there big flat beaches with deep sand so you need to go extreme
