I have recently been going to a place on the beach where there is legal drinking on the beach. As a result there are a lot of bottle caps in the sand. Lots of them from last year as well but they are deep. The problem is that I have been using a 10 x 14" DD excelerator coil at this spot and every bottle cap reads like a quarter. I am digging 40 - 60 bottle caps in a 2-3 hour period every time that I go. My question.
Does anyone believe that the stock 6 x 9" coil would serve me better in this situation so as to be able to better determine if an item is a bottle cap or something worth digging ?
I do not believe that I would need to search deep as the area in question is gone over 4-8 times daily. The area is only approximately 70' x 50' or so but I truly need to be completed with the area quickly because of so many people converging on the area by sun up, hence the reason why I have been using the bigger coil there.
The DD allows me to search more area faster but if the 6 x 9" will help me not to dig so much it might be better for me to use it. Normally I would be in this area for about 3 hours. Sometimes I don't have that much time in my day but I don't want to miss anything. Tomorrow is especially a crunch day. I only have 90 minutes to search and no time to experiment at all. Today is St Patrick's day so everyone is going to be drinking there tonight. I have trusted most advice from here that I have gotten and it has served me well. Any advice now would be appreciated.
