Oak Island Influence

[Dig-Dug]

Ok, some I'm hooked on the Oak Island saga.....long story short, I got my first detector. It's a Treasure Cove 3020. (Cool starter until I get the hang, I'll give it to the misses once I'm ready to upgrade), It was a b-day gift from my mom...and I'm loving detecting. (First time was today). Spoils in pic...just messed around at a local park getting the feel...going to the beach tomorrow during low tide to search some more. I'm looking forward to the up coming hunts...

Welcome to TNet and the best hobby! You did well on your first day. Today at the beach make sure you are digging up some of the very few pull tabs thrown on the ground because gold is close to aluminum on the conductance scale and you don't want to miss them.

Welcome. Your in for a ride your gonna love this hobby ! Hit the high traffic areas of the beach, where the people congregate most. Best times are early and late in the day. This way you either beat the crowd to the spot, or wait for the crowd to leave the spot. Good luck !

Hello Dig-Dug,

Good Luck in the new hobby! You had a nice first day.

IMHO, for the first few outings I would recommend digging everything; especially on a high traffic beach. Remember GOLD "lives" in the lower to mid conductive area, hence you must be finding nickels, foil and pull-tabs to find the gold goodies. It is a cruel joke that the valuable beach finds appear as junk.

Welcome.

My advice - anything you haven't found after 40 ft of digging probably isn't worth added digging.
