Phase 4 of the morning was to use the present my wife got me for Christmas. I've said to her in the past that I'd probably love land fishing with a metal detector, but I wasn't expecting one for X-mas.
I thanked my wife on Christmas morning and she followed with... "Since you don't buy me jewelry, maybe you could find me some". HA! I can't argue with that logic. LOL
I headed down to the shoreline and decided to just do a quick scan of the area. I wanted to dial in the sensitivity and see if the "Metal Type" detected symbol worked.
Well it wasn't long before the screws started showing up. A lot more than I expected.

I turned off the iron alarm and now it should not beep for pallet screws or nails. I saw it said aluminum and went digging on the next beep.
Well, they were right...

I found another and kept moving down the beach. Then I saw a hit that told me it was a penny! Low and behold it was a penny! Then another penny! Then a dime! LOL

I put it all in a bag to give to my honey when I got home. I told her I found you something and she actually got a laugh. One of the pennies was 1971, so at least I have a number for my oldest coin found by metal detector so far. hahaha, well maybe some new stuff will be coming on the horizon.

Those Metal Detectors have come a long way and the thrill of hunt always keeps things exciting.
Mission Bay might be a Treasure Trove after a big weekend ;)
Good luck 8)
That's fun, hope it pays itself off!
Well, my wife is hoping it pays off. LOL
