Depends on what type sites you hunt, if it's going to be "99% garbage". That might be true if you're hunting around old ruins, urban demolition, etc... because you're patient and know that when a coin surfaces, it'll be real old (seateds, etc..).

Sometimes after beach storms, we can dig hundreds of coins straight. No junk at all (save for a car key, fishing sinker, etc... to interupt sometimes). Reason is, all the lighter stuff (tabs, foil, etc...) have been washed out to sea, leaving only the heavy items (coins, jewelry, etc...) on the wet sand. Nails get left too, as they aren't light, but we can pass them easily by nixing iron with our discriminators. So there would be a type hunt where it's 99% coins

JC have you checked out Laird Park (I think it's technically Grayson, the Honor farm is next to it) for MD'ing? I don't have a MD but have seen people there with MD's while I have been fishing. There is also McHenry rec on River rd in Modesto, they allow Metal detecting no shovels are alowed, screw drivers and trowels only; LOTS of area to cover there. We have found flour gold at McHenry Rec.

 

[Mercury dude]

that place is down the road from me I live off Grayson Rd, at the end, I have taken my kids fishing there. I think I will check it out, so you found gold at McHenry Rec, wow I would of never know, did you pan for it.

Yes we did pan for it, you can't use a sluice there. Going up to the mountians sometime next week to do some sluicing.
