    For those about to Rock…a nor’easter!

    Good luck and let us know how it goes. More often than not, I found the nor'easters pushed more sand up on the beach than they stripped. For OBN's sake, I hope the center of rotation is east of the bay and he gets some time with the water pushed out of the western side of the bay to get to...

    Seems there’s no stopping Silver & Gold!

    I had a a good feeling of the top when gold got around $1800 in 2012 and I sold some for around $1750 per ounce. I have no feel for it right now. I'm holding for now and hoping that is not a mistake. It's been a couple months since I added to the gold pile. On Sunday I got a ring that looked...

    Welcome back VaBchMax

    We actually get to the area about once a year, sometimes twice ... just have not run across many on the beaches for a long time. Wife likes to get a Shrimp Burrito at Jessy's Taqueria in Ocean View. When there we tend to hit the bay side beaches more than the ocean side. Hope to get back there...

    Welcome back VaBchMax

    Been ages since we've seen you posting here. Good to see you back. We met on the beach in Virginia Beach one time when I visited there over ten years ago!

    Two Days with the Impulse AQ

    Nice! ... the bottle caps sound wider than good targets. Took me a while to distinguish it well enough to have confidence in picking out bottle caps. I still dig most of them but can call most of them now before digging.

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    A.I. translation: Hello. I read your review of the Axilm metal detector on the forum. Can you tell us how he measures the depth of gold or silver, a non-ferrous metal, in a salt lake in the ocean in the sea on the shore of salt sand? For example, I know for sure, I saw with my own eyes, my...

    Does anyone here remember a guy named VA beach Max, or grave digger Max from another forum ??

    RTG aluminum scoop with truck bed liner spray on paint on the handle. What I found amazing (in addition to the added grip to the handle from the bed liner spray) is that in spite of it being black, the handle did not get as hot in the sun with it sprayed as the bare aluminum does. To this day...

    Does anyone here remember a guy named VA beach Max, or grave digger Max from another forum ??

    I remember him too. He had posted pictures of his set up. Unfortunately, when I search for the older posts, the pictures no longer show up in the posts from years ago.

    Why I wear boots in the water

    Those are the wire part of the fencing used to build up the dunes. Every now and then they get washed away and torn up leaving all sorts of bits around.

    Why I wear boots in the water

    Seemed to push sand in and cover things up. Been up and down about 3 miles of beach and have not found a shell bottom, only sand. I did get a recent drop ring ... fairly big men's tungsten ring. In the water right on the top; one scoop. Might try to get out later this week as the north winds are...

    I Think This Might Be The #1 Reason We Have So Much Competition Today

    Yup. I'm seeing fewer people detecting on the beaches these days. It seemed to peak right before the pandemic. Seems with fewer people wearing gold, more people doing all transactions with cards and not cash, that the work to find good targets has discouraged some people. Had a guy walk up to me...

    Why I wear boots in the water

    Was detecting for a couple hours today. Waves in the three to four foot range still so I stayed to the sand and only got my ankles wet. Saw a guy fishing pull in a shark that was about 3 to 3 and a half feet long. He did the classic picture pose with a shark. Stood over it straddling it and...

    Gigmaster hunts the water with our own OBN aka Old Beechnut aka Joe Beechnut

    Too bad there was not much video of working the water. Joe may have wanted to prevent identification of his specific hunt areas and I understand that. Lessons learned in the Maryland bay and tributary areas apply very directly to the bay side beaches near Virginia Beach. Visits to the beaches...

    Hitting Beaches in DE as Hurricane Erin approaches

    Was out for a little in North Myrtle Beach last evening. The waves were about 3 feet with nearly 8 seconds between them. That long interval between waves makes detecting nice ... just need to be facing the waves so as to bounce with them rather than taking a direct hit. I was not finding pools...

    Why I wear boots in the water

    What amazed me was the lady's comment about not expecting to see anything like fishing equipment come up from the bottom when every morning at sunrise there are people all set up and surf fishing. Between 9 and 10 am the surf fishers leave when the beach starts to get crowded with the sunbathers.

    Why I wear boots in the water

    Besides keeping the sand, gravel and shells out, finds like this one are why I wear boots. Dug this up today when about belly deep in the water. A lady who was nearby with two kids on boogie boards saw it come up and said she had no idea stuff like that was in the water and she would not want to...

    New Nokta PI

    I'll believe they are about to release the PI detectors when Dilek Gonulay, the Director of Sales and Marketing department at Nokta Makro says they are about to release them. She has been about the only source of accurate information I've seen about their releases.

    My “new” Dual Field PI & hanging out with OldBeechnut (OBN)

    I don't worry too much about that. Been bumped in the water by manatees, have caught sharks in some of the waters I detect and figure that they are looking for something that tastes better than an old fart like me will taste. I lived in Maryland for many years. Detected the bay tributaries and...
