Beaches hunted hard?

Then get an infinium!

I went out to one of our highly alkaline lakes today in the rain, had the beach to myself. This is a beach that has been detected to death over the years. The old Edmonton detecting club used to hunt it regularly and I've been told it was..."hunted out".

Maybe so..but they weren't using a machine that could cut through the mineralization and get the depth the Infinium can.

Here's my proof...

A shot of the lake in the rain. Great time to hunt, the beach is deserted.

My loot for the day...

Check out the 6 small paper thin discs of copper...those used to be pennies. So much mineralization it eats metals, including silver - just look at the condition of the two silver rings. They were deep deep oldies as you can tell from this before cleaning photo.

Got to LOVE the Infinium for those so called hunted out spots. Great hunt Scott.

Cool name and avatar by the way. I'd change my name to Black Scotty but....I'd end up with a little black terrier for an avatar.

Oh Man, Nice loot! What were your deepest targets and what scoop do you have?

Hey Davy, what do you use the Compass 94-IB for? I used to own a lot of Compass detectors and still think I've got one up in the attic - maybe a 94. They ought to be great for competition hunts.

Uncle Willy,

It was my brothers first commercial purchased unit and the first unit I detected with. I took it out of my fathers barn and cleaned it up per my brothers request. My father was using it to locate boundy pins. My brother found a bunch of good finds with it back in the 70's.

It has surprised the heck out of me to find modern pennies looking like they'd been in the ground for 300 years! And I'm not even near a beach!

Nice finds, Scott!

Yeah they work great for finding property markers and underground pipes.
