Down here working at Corpus Christi Naval Air Stattion (NASCC) and have not made it to the beach with my MD. I stopped along the road and hit a shell and broken glass area but the machine was a little crazy. I could not remember how to put it in beach mode (Minelab X-70). I took it to the Nation beach at Padre Island but they have a big we hate medal detectors sign at the gate. I have yet to see anyone swinging at the beach on Ocean Drive between the back gate and downtown. If anyone in the area has some tips please let me know. I will have plenty of time once I get a semi-permanant place to live while I am here. I don't want to end up heading back to Kansas in a few months with no sand on my detector.
