A Little Bit of Beach Time

[KevGA]

Spent a couple of hours at the beach with the family today and squeaked in about 30 minutes of detecting time: 1Q, 5D, 1N, 1P for a total of .81 cents in clad and of course pulltabs and the elusive SamusClubus Canus. Not too shabby for the time involved. I finally got my sensitivity settings right to not only hunt the wet sand, but I ventured into nearly knee deep surf for the first time as well. Nothing to show for it, but at least I know I can do it with this machine.

Yet another example of any detecting time is good detecting time.

HH to all, and to all a good night!

At least you got some coil time in! I look forward to getting back down that way and do some more hunting! Be careful of the species genericus popcanus, as they can be vicious when cornered! HH omnicognic 8)

I hit the beach last weekend and got about a dollar in clad and a nice sunburn!

Thanks guys, it was definately nice to get some time out there, there just never is enough time these days.?

I learned my lesson about the sunburn after my last time out, I came back looking like a tomato.? I still have the funny tan lines on my feet from the sandles I was wearing!?

McNickle, it takes some practice for sure; I've only recently been feeling comfortable and as I mentioned my settings had eluded me until this trip. There's a great web site that someone from this site turned me onto a while back that has lots of great info on it:

The guy was an engineer for NASA and unfortunately passed away a few years ago, but his wife (I believe) was nice enough to keep the site functioning. Take a look, there's a whole lot of good stuff there.

the elusive SamusClubus Canus.?

Went the other night and found the subspecies BudusWeiserus Canus in a buried in their rarely seen 8 inch nest. There were 3 in there shining at me. I felt I must release them.
