Any of you Beach Hunters have any tips for me? I am going to try to get out at sunrise(for washed in stuff), and around 6:00 PM for lost items. Richard@Backwoods has already told me to take a small camp type shovel instead of a scoop. Any other tips for setting up the Vision for best results??

I spend a few weeks each year there, every year. The problem this year is they have nourished the beach with sand so all
the goodies from years past are buried about 6 ft under the sand. You will be looking for mostly fresh drops. Run it in the beach mode
or if you like another mode better you will need to turn the salt mode on. I hunt the low tides in the wet sand as the water goes out.
I carry a scoop with a big basket as in the wet stuff you will dig and dump your scoop instead of trying to sift it out. a shovel would work
but I like the scoop better. Good luck and take a camera so you can send us some picks.

Good advise from Jason and I too prefer a sand scoop to a shovel in wet sand. Sand washes out a lot faster and leaves your find in the basket if you are in, or near, water. In dry sand, it is pretty much a toss up to dig and pinpoint or a sand scoop and shake.
