Post by oliver »

Meet up with Ian Scratcher from the forum had a few hours on the beach first trip for a long time to the sands.Ian found four silver rings,and nice silver charm and part of a silver chain plus modern coins.He did well as i think it was his first trip to a beach took a few pics was misty at times lost sight of him in the mist.I had three silver pendents one silver chain and a nice gold ring plus modern coins.was cool to meet up with Scratcher and have a day out had a go of his Minelab was surprised at the weight was a lot lighter than i thought it would be and well balanced.

Lovely ring ... I see a mention of 'all metal' - I use the Elite - is it a good tip to use all metal on the beach?
