South Miami Beach 8.29.07

[-Jones-]

After arriving in Miami at midnight the night before, the ol rack felt pretty good! So I missed the sunrise on the beach.

I soon discovered the beach was just too hot for me from mid morning to late afternoon!

So the wife got some exercise in.

I left the camera battery at the hotel room so for the day, I don't have beach pics to post.

I detected south Miami beach (5th street) from about 5p to sunset. Being the first real test drive of the excal 1000, I tried different settings for sensitivity and disc. Finds were sparse, nothing to write home about but saw alot of skin.....

No skin pics? I know, I know you left the camera. Did you detect the water or the dry?

All the skin pics are recorded in my head!

I found the beach to be full of trash. I found so many bottle caps that I learned to recognized it's signal.

I detected in the water but didn't find anything significant. This session was the low point of the trip.

Target values increased exponentally as one will see.

Well some days are like that. Yesterday I spent 5 hours in the water (an area where I found 6 gold rings last week) and all I came out with was $2.93, 1 silver ring and a chumpy gold plated copper bracelet, many bottle tops and pull tabs and the base of a light bulb that was 1/2 way to China!

The day I was there, late afternoon, the water was choppy, waves rolling in so I stayed knee deep.

Saturday, September 1, I was on south miami beach (15th street) at 6:30a, just prior to sunrise, the water was as smooth as glass. That morning I was detectin in the water up to my chest. 8)
