Was on a north shore beach for 20 mins as didnt have much time. Had the settings on money and rings :). In twenty minutes found $3, two kids matchbox cars and a rusty bottle cap. Pleased with that as a result as must be doing its job and didnt pick up to much junk, justy the rusty bottle cap infact. Good fun and good practice when I go for my pirtaes gold in May on an undisclosed island in the pacfic.
