Went back to my old stomping grounds for a visit this past weekend. Hit Coney Island with the Beach hunter ID. I counted 10 guys while i was there detecting as well, all Excaliber2's. Tell you something? Anyway, dug 102 Corona bottle caps alone. Over 200 for the day, no gold. I met Phillip, I great guy detecting there. He told me he could ignore most of the bottle caps with the Excal. No matter what I did, the bottle caps came up sharp, crisp and in the yellow. Is the Beach Hunter pretty much worthless in deep water. I was digging mostly waist deep. Way too many strong yellow beeps for the day, and I like to dig junk. Could barely move my arm at the end of the day, for no gold. Know there's lots of gold at Coney. Des in Buffalo NY

I use this detector also and usually dig ever thing even the red signals as our coin are made up of steel lately.
I think if you learn to tell the suttle (different ) signals that the machine gives you that may be the key.
The only bad part is your not getting those gold ring signals enough to tell the difference

Beach hunter should have no problem ignoring beer caps were you hunting in discriminate mode or pinpoint will pick them up in pinpoint.
Not discriminate mode. Ot is not as deep as the excal but not a bad water detector at all. If it does break whites will fix it good luck on getting
A Excal repaired.

I was hunting in disc. The only other option is all metal, which I usually use in fresh water lakes. Even is discrimination mode, the bottle caps were a crisp sound, yellow, just like a nice ring. I've dug so many bottle cpas, when I do hit a ring, I just think it's another bottle cap. After you dig enough bottle caps, it gets pretty frustrating. Coney has at least three yellow beeps per swing on average. I tried to focus only on very strong signals, but they were bottle caps as well. Des
