South Devon Beach

Post by kacey »

I been to the beach at low tide over the last 2 days, never found much from the usual foil and bottle tops.

But I had to strong signals say 28 on my nox and dug down 150mm and encountered a rock..

So I swiftly moved on and then another strong hit around 28 and yet another rock buried, I seem to be good at finding rocks ... These rocks cannot be dug out as far to big... [66/]

Is it the rocks that is setting of a signal with my Equinox ....

Take a look in this link which will explain why non metallic items may produce a target signal.

Hot rocks....common when hunting beach areas. have to adjust ground balance and sensitivity. Be safe.
