I seem to have more luck finding the best things in the winter. Yes I do understand more sand shifting and fluctuating. Also I rarely need to the question: Have you ever found anything ? For a while now I have been digging iron signals so I can tell what weight I'm dealing with in a certain area. This has been helpful. I generally practice Merrill's V shape style. If tide and sand are right I will traverse the V on my way back. Making a kind of X/W pattern. Yesterday while traversing I found several more coins , silver ring that must have been out there for a very long time. Small gold bracelet and 14k wedding band. What kept my interest in about two hundred yards of beach was sinkers and old rusted bolts . If I didn't backtrack I would not have had a couple great finds. Just wanted to share. Thanks

A couple nice finds today. In the woods in parts of south Jersey it can be sandy . Sometimes I will run my 800 in beach 2 with large coil. The area I've been hunting the targets have been deep. Hardly any EMI so hunt speed 4 sensitivity 23 and all metal ( always ).

Can anyone explain the differences in thickness of one cent pieces. Recent find of 1826 is much fatter than 1820-1827-1830-1851 and so on. Were the guys at the mint just having fun? (Joking). Just wondering if anyone has a studied reason for differences. Thanks

Does any have an opinion about swing speed with nox 800 going from five down to two? Also using 15 inch coil. has any noticed sound difference?
