Looks like you're doing fine. Are you still running Coin & Jewelry mode? How about the sensitivity? Where have you decided you like to run that at?

Now you just need to wave it over some gold. Was most/any of that in the wet sand or what?

You can change the jewelry count by getting closer to the sure and you may be an official surf Pirate.
HH and good luck

1. Yes
2. 16
3. Dry Dry Dry sand. I did go in the wet - struggled digging for a pop top. It's hard work

You're right about that...hunting the wet CAN be hard work...especially fighting that incoming surf. Sometimes the target just gets deeper and deeper. So you have certainly discovered one of the BIG "plusses" of staying in the dry sand. My sister, "Stacey From West palm Beach", is pretty much a dry sand hunter and she finds a lot of cool jewelry and stuff.

As for your sensitivity, I feel you are doing well with 16. I think if you could go 17 or 18 without the machine seeming unstable you should do it. I was always able to run 18 in the wet sand so I would expect that you should be able to do that in the dry. It might make it a little more sensitive to those small gold items. Coins are easy but those small gold items can use all the sensitivity you can do.

I know there's some more gold in your near future.
