Hit the water at Sobe Friday and Saturday morning. Ocean was flat as a pancake, dead low tide and crystal clear. I was so anxious to try the excalibur in the water again, especially with these conditions!
I was hunting from thigh to stomach high water and the Excalibur was running smooth! It's definitly a lot trickier diggin in the water, I'm glad I've got a heavy duty Monster Scoop and started to get the hang of it. I couldn't believe all the bottlecaps that were in the water that far out. I thought that I wouldn't be finding these like I did in the dry sand
.
Got a lot of Nice signals, thought they might be gold, but unfortunatly pop tops, but I do like to hear that sound! Found some kind of silver jewelry, but it's probably costume. Also found a totally corroded Duracel battery, and some clad.
I was wondering if anyone that has a Excalibur (sandman, Max, etc) could tell me if you can descriminate the bottlecaps without loosing gold or is it just better to keep digging the caps. The tone for it is very destinctive, and when I get the tone, I now know it's just that, but I'm afraid not to dig it because I might be missing something good.
I also met a local hunter named Bill. He's been detecting there for a long time and was hunting the high tide line. Got about $4 in clad in about an hr. He told me that he knows quite a few of the guys that hunt the water down here and that nothing has been found worth noting in quite a few months.
Memorial day weekend is comiing up and that should bring a lot of people there. I'll try again next weekend!
Thanks for looking and any advice you can give me!
