hi guys/girls went to the beach with a friend he had an explorer and me with my 250 we both are gold prospectors as well so we know the old saying low and slow is the way to go so when we seen a guy walking up the beach swinging his detector like there was no tomorrow really fast with the coil about 2 inches off the sand we both looked at each other and said he wont find a thing he was doing his own type of gridding snaking his way up and down the sand and lifting his coil at each swing so what i did was followed his tracks to see if he had left anything behind i was right i found $2.50 lol we came across him later in the day asked how he went found a couple of dollars that's all my mate and i tried to tell him what he was doing wrong he was all eares and as he left it was like we spoke to a brick wall as he walked off he was swinging that detector faster than Tarzan can swing in the trees so you can try to help people but any way my day wasn't any better as i only found a few dollars as well also found a 1943 penny my mate did better.so my point is do you try to help someone give them some tips or do you just ignore what they are doing thanks MM
