Digging the deeeeep stuff on a "short beach"......(video)

The last storm that blew through here at the Jersey Shore managed to pull sand down from the top down to the water and exposed some really deep coins and jewelry.....and Bruce and I were in the right place at the right time......

Thanks as always for sharing that video. I really respect your opinion and appreciate the knowledge you've shared. I do have a question, though. You said you run in all metal listening for slight changes, but I seem to be able to go deeper with disc on, fully ccw. I've seen posts from Excalibur/Sovereign owners who run it like I do and others who run all metal and dig everything or flip to disc to ID the target. Do you think it's deeper in all metal or is that just a personal preference?

Brian as always great stuff. I'll be out tomorrow looking for gold. I can't wait for your answer to the above question. My AM mode is very low and barely audible when pinpointing. As you know I have a new Excal but with that sub Aqua setting That Bruce was going to find out what that was all about?

I can now say that having experienced all of the Excalibur models since my first one (serial #157) in 1994.....I truely believe that the all metal mode is deeper if and only if you set the sensitivity correctly for the type of beach you are hunting....I really only use this technique on beaches with light/moderate iron content.....sooooo...to answer your question....yes it works great for me....HH....Brian

You know Steve....I think "Sub Aqua" naturally refers to underwater setting.....maybe it is more a setting for someone diving with the machine where they would submerge it in greater water pressure.....just a guess here....

Great Video Brian, You and Bruce are hard core hunters to endure these ruff weather conditions, and to shoot video on top of that....thank you for giving us snow bound pirates some peace. On the Almetal/Reverse hunting looks like you have come to master this great hunting style with the Excalibur. On the question which works best, the matrix of the sand and water {salt or fresh} plays a big part on what works at one beach and not another. So it is up to the hunter to determine {test} which works best on the beach, lake or location at that time.
Great Quote from.......Steve Herschbach
But at the end of the day never forget that metal detecting is very site dependent and so what works well in one location will be lackluster in another. Use what works!

surfdigger, what kindd of scoop are you using and where can you get one, i was watching your video and am just curious, i want to get a lighter one just for the beach, i have a sunspot for in the water (witch i think is great) but gets heavy out of the water, also i think there are better scoops for just beach hunting. thanks for any info
