Two days in a row! I went to the same exact spots and Hit more coins then the first day. The black sand is heavy, so I learned the Excal II will hear a quarter , and you can dig it, but in that heavy black sand it wont hear the smaller coins that are near and under the quarter that are a little deeper, so after I dig the one coin, I put it on all metal and dig at least five more coins, sometime more where the quarter was. So now when I do black sand, it's all metal all the time. So today I got two silver neck pieces, two silver dimes, a buffalo nickle and three wheaties. Plus $17.00 in clad. also 137 pennies. So if you do heavy black sand and your using a Excal Try switching to all metal and dig all the sound except what you know is junk, it will pay off, as you can see. Gene

Nice haul you got today my friend. You should see how much more snow we got. Well be a couple more months and I will be out hunting.

Great job there Gene. I went out last weekend for a short time, my cz20 does not like the black sand at all. I get a lot of false signals. It's a lot of hard digging as well with all those pebbles and rocks that have replaced the sand.
Nice to see you're finding stuff.

Nice haul Gene.

Try redoing the ground balance over the location and dropping the sensitivity just enough to get rid of most of the falsing. On some beaches, I need to check and adjust the set up as the sand changes. Can normally see the different sand conditions visually. CZ can do OK around black sand, but I did pick up a Sandshark. Sandshark only warbles the threshold a little on the worst black sand areas.
