did a good deed today. It found a heavy white gold wedding band in the dry sand for a grateful beach goer. A beach attendant called me out of the water to ask me if I could find a ring for a desperate guy. The water sucked today anyway as a trough I have been hunting quit giving up targets and I always try to find items for people, so I obliged. It always makes me more confident in my equipment when it performs well. Again, glad to see this forum appear, as I really like the machine and there has to be a lot more info on it that could help using it.
