Nice 4 day weekend. Weather was mostly beautiful. Picture of sunrise in from Sunday morning.
Tried out the 3.6 x 18 cleansweep coil on the Tejon, with my first trip to the beach with the Tejon. Learned a little more about the Sand Shark and did a little comparing over the black sand areas with those two and the CZ-20.
Black sand areas did make CZ false some with the sensitivity at 6 and probably cut depth, but got a quarter with the CZ in the real black stuff that took two good scoops with the small scoop so I'd put it between 5 and 8 inches.
Black sand hurt the Tejon with the cleansweep a good bit. I hit a solid high conductor over a wet sand blackish area with the Tejon, scooped it and nothing. Swept the area, nothing. scooped the hole again and dumped the scoop on the surface and it sounded off. A dime. Dropped it back in the hole and gradually filled the hole and raised the dime until it hit ... about three inches is all I got in the black sand on a dime. I did get a nickel at between 5 and 6 inches that was a solid hit over an area that showed grainy black streaks.
Got nothing from the water with the CZ and didn't do the water for very long long as the chop didn't look bad but pushed and pulled with a lot of force and I need to get in better shape for summer. Got some change with the CZ in the wet sand.
Got a lot of little iron with the Sand Shark as well as change and one of the two sinkers I found. Dug a dime that took three medium scoops with my small beach scoop to get it ... guessing about 7 to 8 inches and it was a streaky black sand wet sand area.
Back to the dry sand with the Tejon and the Clean Sweep; it got the other sinker and the 10k ring. The ring I'd estimate at 6 to 7 inches. Sounded real strong so I shallow scooped it and completely missed it. Left about 5 inch hole in the sand, swept and the sound was the same so I did another scoop again in same place and there it was. The clean sweep over the salt sand is a bit chatty but good signals were repeatable.
The ring is pictured as it came out of the sand. No clean up applied so far.
Relaxing weekend.
