You have to focus on where people have been.

Merrill, what's the difference between the scoop for $449 and the one for $419? Is it a different CF handle?

James Avery has some interesting rings

I do. Easy digging, sand, sun, surf, and warm temps. At least that how it is along the Texas coast. Targets can be few and far in between. Unfortunately, I'm 6.5 hrs from the coast so I can only get down there maybe twice a year. I fish inshore saltwater also so sometimes the fishing gets priority. But not always.

I have a Raptor for smaller digs. Great little shovel.

Stuline

Stuline and I ordered a Predator tools Raptor.

I’ve used Big Boys Hobbies, Serious Detecting, and Detector Warehouse.

I’m Rob and I was born and raised in Bergen County NJ. Went in the Air Force for 22 years and now I live in N Texas. I started detecting last summer along the beaches of Galveston and found rings and coins. I use an Equinox 600. I also picked up a CTX 3030 about a week ago.
