Oct 17, 2015: TWO NICE GOLD RINGS! And at least 9 silvers

Long day, getting ready for bed, but got out yesterday for a few hours to the "silver beach." First silver was a Barber dime! First barber there, and it was quite a surprise. Seems like a few older coins are starting to show. Also got a dateless V nickel, and a dateless IHC. Got a 1909 Lincoln too. Ended with 7 silver coins, at least 2 pieces of silver jewelry. There's a chance for 4 more to be sterling, but I'll play with them tomorrow.
The first surprise was a super weak signal that turned into almost a pull tab signal. But it turned out to be a nice ring with a beautiful stone. I believe it's 10k, but not really sure. There's a 10 in the band with that looks like either a J and an L, or two 90 degree angles. Weight is 5.9 grams.
Then later in the hunt I was moving towards a new area and got a zincoln-ish signal. Was surprised to see a heavy wedding band come out. This one is 14k and weighs 10.8 grams. Better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Bed time, HH all!

Wow.. that site is awesome.... what a treasure field. No telling what might show up

Even if we aren't seeing the pounds of trash you're also no doubt digging, it's always impressive.
Problem is it's a long drive now to get there. But will shoot for at least two more trips there this year.
LordM, there was plenty of trash there originally, and still some left. It's just nice because where most of this stuff is coming out, must've been pre-pull tabs. So it's spoiling me bad to dig these targets and only find a couple of pull tabs. There is other scrap metal and other misc, but it's still 10x better than digging that annoying aluminum!
Can't wait to what else you dig out if there

I've got two words for you: You suck.
They aren't to be given lightly so its a real honor!
This is the beach I want to take the TDI SL at next weekend. Its supposed to arrive friday so I don't have much prep time with it. Any advice?
I've never used your new machine myself, so I'm not even qualified. One thing I've noticed with the GPX is how screaming loud (maxing out the machine) most targets are.
With my older machines I've tended to skip most of those as they're nearly always trash, but with a PI they can be surprisingly deep coin/jewelry-sized targets.
Will be very interesting to see what you find and the difference your new machine makes!
I have some plans myself too, so will hopefully be able to put up some new finds.
experience with it... Cheers, RickO
