Got pretty much skunked today. I did pull a 1965 quarter out of about 14" of sand and a dime at 12". Got lots of old nails and steel caps, again. I've been trying to disc out the caps with out much luck. When I hit the target I rev disc it but with the steel caps they frequently will go from high low to low high or disappear all together making me think I've got something worth digging. I have also been trying to differentiate the subtle sound differences but need to practice more I guess. I have dug less bobby pins by scanning at 90 degrees and can pick up a double blip but those dang steel caps are going to be the death of me. Anybody have any tips for the steel bottle caps? The surf was too high this am to venture out very far so the water search was not happening. I got hit by one wave that soaked me up to the crotch and decided to stay in the dry stuff. Maybe I'll try Long Beach Tuesday down by the peninsula. Cant do any worse than I did today.
