Hi all,

I thought I would check in after a pleasurable vacation at the beach. This was my first time detecting on an ocean beach, and all advice that I was offered was right on the money. I stayed on the dry sand and the Ace 250 performed very well and the home made sand scoop was exceptional. I went out each morning at about 7 and detected for about 2 hours. When the dolphins and waves were not distracting me, I think I did OK for a first timer.

Final tally:

29 quarters
21 dimes
7 nickles
45 pennies (one a 42 wheatie)
1 44 reminington mag round (I do not even want to know)
1 hotel room key
1 toy jet fighter
1 turqoise ear ring
1 kiddie ear ring
2 huge lead sinkers
1 1985 Topps Dave Winfield baseball card (only I could find this on a beach)

This plus the typical pull tabs and what-not. My coin to trash ratio was much better than anticipated, a very well kept beach. It was lots of fun!

HH all,
HJ
 
Good job on the beach HJ.. Keep finding those pulltabs, we wouldn't want them finding there way into the water would we now?
