Beach finds with the ATX

[Joshwasere]

Here are my finds for my first week with my new Garrett ATX

 

[Joshwasere]

This is the 1st Gold for the ATX found in the first 1/2 hour on a beautiful day! 9k

 

[Joshwasere]

Good day today with the pre-Decimals! New location opened up using the ATX in wet sand!

 

[Sa_bogan]

nice finds there, looks like she goes deep! im sure pleanty of trash was dug as well. What are the rings made of?

 

[Joshwasere]

1 gold, one silver, one steel, one die cast I think!

 

[Joshwasere]

She does go deep! getting a good workout and toughened feet on the Stealth scoop!

 

[Sa_bogan]

very nice. how do you find the stealth scoop? Im thinking of getting another so my current scoop will last a little longer

 

[Heatho]

Hard work using a PI on the beach, took the 5000 down the beach the other day, glad my mate was digging for me.

Nice finds, well done.

 

[Joshwasere]

I wouldn't even bother searching the Wet sand if it weren't for the Stealth scoop! I got the 720i U-bolt model plus the Takedown handle

So it was a bit over $400 but definitely worth it. It can be operated with one hand one foot so you do alot less bending over. And because the PI searches pretty deep you wil defs be moving a lot of heavy wet sand so I reckon using a modified cyclone brand shovel would be quite tiring.

I pretty much wont bother hitting the dry sand in the winter season with the PI caus most older targets will be continuously exposed where the sand moves the most on the waters edge.

Still learning the patterns of wet zones of the beach but I'm getting there..still diggin all the trash!

My new enemy... the Bobby pin.... hate those pricks!!! lol

 

[Goldpick]

Bobby pins, bottle caps and sparklers! Some beach hunts are purely just bottle caps, so sad to say, an intact condom packet was the find of the day! :lol:

 

[Arwon]

Josh, well done.... Now when are you going to guide me into the Belowra Mines as they have eluded me yet again

 

[the duck]

I know how you feel about bobby pins ring out like a brass dinner plate then you cant find them once they are out of the hole

 

[Joshwasere]

Some more finds with the ATX! (1914 Commonwealth Half Penny, 1955 Three Pence, 1943 Three Pence, 8gr .925 Ring, Leagues tag)

 

[Joshwasere]

Quite an odd ring! heavy though.

 

[Goldpick]

Great variation in coinage, dates from all over the place, the 43' threepence cleaned up well. That ring looks pretty old, wondering whether it was custom or home made by a jeweler?

 

[Paulmarr]

Nice finds Josh!

 

[Joshwasere]

Yeah the ring looks like those arty chunky designer rings, has ( DD 925 ) hallmarks.
and surprisingly that threepence wasn't cleaned up! I just rubbed it with my fingers and it removed the small amount of tarnish!

 

[Heatho]

Great finds, doing very nicely.

 

[Joshwasere]

Love hitting the drainage runoff on the beaches theres always cool stuff to find! ATX found the Brit and the AT Gold The Aussie!
