And she went right on down!! Remember that one?

This brand in regards to the magnets is pretty good what I use anyways. Mine is a mess from many outings lol.

Will it pull something through out of the silt/mud, or does it have to touch the object?

Mine probably will from shallow mud and silt but bigger stuff mine won't or deep either. Mine isn't on the super powerful end as I don't trust myself to not get it stuck. I'm more hunting lost lures, knives and such with mine. My brothers 3500 pulling force one that is a 360 degree magnet will but lots of risk of getting it stuck and expensive

From talking with the old timers that have graced the trip back to the bay have talked about the docks that ran along my shoreline.
Total length was around 2000 ft so this summer I want to start detecting it, and pulling up some treasures that were dropped along them for a 100yrs.
The waters is friendly and not deep, just a silt/black earthen bottom from organics.
I'll have to remove the slab lumber that lays on the bottom, but the slabs are only single deep.

That's the secret of having a great job is just having fun-then it doesn't seem like a job.

Great words of wisdom. You must be a descendent of that great philosopher Confusion.

Got Coppers and silvers, relics on shore, where the warehouse was located.
Gotten some ok bottles from the shoreline dump.
Root system is a hard go for digging.
Couple 3 piece mold bottles so the history is there

Hard to find good places here in California. Most places here are beat to death by others. So much of the good areas are owned by cattlemen whom own large swaths of land and they are very particular about letting anyone on their land. Too bad here in my town old town is the ghetto so not always the funnest place to look for permission
