    Work great!!!

    Find tons of metal mostly junk hehe.
    I haven't used it to much but allways find some good stuff!
    Like lots of change (some pretty old coins too) silver chains rings
    I drilled tons of holes in a plastic scoop. when i get a hit on the detector.I scoop up the sand under the coil. then put the scoop under the coil to see if i got the metal! If it in the scoop i shake it
    to get all the sand out. Works real good!!

    Wow... I find rounds all the time diving over here.. And I don't need a metal detector.. They are everywhere.. Most because of the Battle of Okinawa... But a lot are from training over here too.
