I was able to sneak out to the beach this morning for a couple hours. The beach was pretty sanded in. I only got a few targets but they were all DEEP! Most were 10 inches plus. Only one was a "surface" find at 4 inches. Man the CTX is a deep machine. I am confident that when the sand thins out, I will be nailing lots more. I actually had to give up on a water target because it was so deep and the sand kept filling in. 1 dime, 1 quarter, 3 pennies, and a 2 ounce sinker.
