Took the kayak out to the sandbar this afternoon for an hour of detecting. It took 45 minutes today, had 10MPH headwinds with 1 foot swells. But, I'm getting into kayaking shape that's for sure. I'm hoping to meet one of the boaters out there who will trade a ride for the use of my spare detector.
Anyways, Using the volleyball net for a reference point I went from close to shore straight out for about 100 feet and back. Found nothing but bottle caps, pull tabs, and some clad. I wish we could teach these boaters that pull tabs were designed to stay on the cans!
When I came back to the volleyball net and was heading back to the kayak, I decided to go over the area I searched on my first trip except at 90 degrees. It paid off. I got a whopping 99 on my AT Pro which usually means a flattened can or some big steel. However, the target signal seemed small. Sure enough, on the first scoop I got this Mexican beauty. It's a good way to end a hunt. I don't have a scale so can't tell you the weight, but it's hefty. Any recommendations on a scale?? I've got a birthday coming up.

Those real high screamers that appear to be tight small signals are nice to hear. Good job...theres gotta be some gold in there too.
