Vista X On The Beach......:cheers:

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

[size=large]In 5 hours, I dug about 120 coins, 2 small pcs of gold jewelry ?. These targets all came out of dry sand. I must say that I dug fewer pull tabs than usual but I was fooled a couple of times
but some 15"+ rusted bottle caps. My wife has had some health issues the last 6-7 months, (resolved now) and there hasn't been a lot of time but I hope to get back on the forum here more and hopefully
post some videos. Thanks and best to all Richard.

BTW, the $100 turned out to be counterfeit, found with one corner sticking up out of the sand. Looked good till the clerk hit it with one of those pens..[/size]

Counterfeit? Looks pretty darn good from here. That's a bummer. Nice batch of coins and nice hit on those nuts. HH jim tn

 

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

Jim, It took a Pro to tell me it was no good.. I had big plans for "that baby."

 

[TN Mike]

Looking at those pennies im gonna say virginia beach?

 

[Richard@BackwoodsDetectors]

Mike, Panama City Beach... 2/3 of the beach was gone with a 2'-4' drop right into the water at high tide... The hurricane last October did a number on the beaches there and they haven't pumped the sand back.. Thanks Richard

[jim tn]

Richard, that hundred is one of those finds that it would be fun to know its story. HH jim tn

Nice haul Richard. Which beach did you go to? Some time I will tell you about a ring I found at the beach a couple months ago with the Nox.

[Keith Southern]

Nice !!

Good report Richard!!

Glad your wife is better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you swing any wet sand? I have a feeling the Octagon may just handle wet especially gulf Florida wet sand with some tweaking.

[size=large]Truthfully, I was so inexperienced with it, I just tried regular ground balancing and it didn't work... Stopped and enjoyed the dry sand. BTW, got me a nickel program.. Thanks Richard[/size]
