    I need a fix!!!

    I have a RTG Pro Aluminum 47” beach scoop. I like the scoop because of the weight and the ease of use. I bought my first one about 2 1/2 years ago ( see picture), some of the beaches I go to have large rocks under the sand, as you can see the tip is damaged. I bought a second one thinking I just...

    Another Darn Bottle Cap or Pull Top Signal at the Beach, Surprise, Surprise!!!

    I think Draco is correct, it does look like some sort of dedication to someone. I go to many beaches in my area and see the same people each morning, walking, running or walking dogs. One person who I see is a jeweler and he always asks about my finds. I showed him this ring and he said it was...

    Another Darn Bottle Cap or Pull Top Signal at the Beach, Surprise, Surprise!!!

    The Nox has made it a lot easier to recognize junk for me. I have learned to listen to the sound and tone and combine that with the VDI. I don't like to dig iffy signals. I think of it this way, if I don't dig it I will never know what it is, but if I dig it and its junk I feel I wasted my time...

    Another Darn Bottle Cap or Pull Top Signal at the Beach, Surprise, Surprise!!!

    At the beach this morning another 14 VDI, do I dig it or not, Ah, what the heck what's another bottle cap or pull tab my pouch is already half full with them. Well Suprise, Surprise just a 18k (maybe 21k or 22k, no acid test for) with a ruby or sapphire, tested 18k but color looks more like 21k...

    Yes the dry sand, I guess I was missing either left or right or not going deep enough, but this scoop moves a lot of sand.

    I have a RTG 47" aluminum scoop which is small but weighs less then 3lbs. I think my problem might be the size of the smaller scoop. I used a big boy scoop (CKG) today and first scoop 9 out 10 times I got my target, problem solved. In addition, this is way you dig the low tones at the beach...

    The dry sand because that is where I hunt 90% of the time. Good luck at the beach, it has been very very good to me. Dig those low and mid tones that is were the gold is.

    I see you use the Nox 800, I have the 600, 3 is the highest for the 600. The 3 setting on the 600 is equal to 6 on the 800. I have always used 3 maybe I will try the lower recovery speed to see if that works.

    Standard coil and recovery speed of 3.

    I hunt the beach 99% of the time with my Nox 600 and during my hunts I have noticed that quarters are ringing up just fine (28, 29, 30) but scooping them up is sometimes confusing, they don't seem to be where the sound is, it sometimes takes me 3 to 4 scopes to find it. I like to use the wiggle...

    Miccus 71 Phones

    Take a look at these, I have the Miccus headphones when I originally bought my Nox 600 and these are identical to the Miccus headphones. The only difference is a very low bass sounding tone for low tones, not a problem, I use mine as a backup and in my opinion they work as good as the Miccus...

    Nokta/Makro taking care of business!

    I was having problems with my simplex (posted 2 months ago, screen freezing) and went to Nokta/Makro web site and submitted a work request and video for warranty work. The next day I was notified by Andy at "We Dig Metal Detectors", he informed me to send just the Simplex head. The day he...

    What MineLab should I get on Price 600 or 800?

    Johnny, In addition right now you can open a credit card (Takes about 10 days to arrive buy the detector with the card) you spend $500.00 dollars in 90 days and receive $200.00 cash back.

    Is it just Dumb Luck?

    Another day at the beach, 2 silver and 2 junkers. Today zig zagging the beach with lots of targets. Check out the finds.

    Is it just Dumb Luck?

    Well said gunwolf, I guess maybe I don't have the patience to spend 10 to 15 minutes digging and my reward is a piece of iron, bobby pin or trash, so I tend to move on from iffy or faint deep signals and only dig repeatable signals.

    Is it just Dumb Luck?

    I started detecting 5 years ago, 99% of the time beach hunting, wet sand and dry sand only, no water hunting. During this time I mainly zig zag while hunting, and I rarely grid. I just look for areas that look like where people have been, for example: trash, towel impressions, butt impressions...

    Jewelry stamps and hallmarks???

    I found this at the beach with Nox 600 reading of 18, 19 vdi. Not sure if from pendant or maybe a bracelet. I get the 925 and 750, by the picture you can see the gold and silver, but the bottom number 1338??? Also at the top I see F and H inside a symbol?? and below that a symbol and the number...

    Did a Good Deed (I hope)

    I have found many a set of keys at the beach, I post them on craigslist sometimes they are claimed and sometimes their not, key fobs are expensive to replace. Once I found a fob on the sand, lots of people walking and somebody must of just dropped it. The area that I found it has street parking...
