UPDATE for May 26th 2009Hit the Santa Monica Beach. now after a 3 day Holiday weekend, well competition was HUGE !! Tim with his minelab and Joe who runs the SMB pier bait shop were doing their thing,i counted at least 8 more detectorists scooping and sweeping, SOOOOO away i went and did my little H2 she was a winner for me as the others all would only hit the shore, picked up all total $14.78 in coin I am using my H2 in Standard Trash Elimination ONLY as want to be ready for the Summer.. practice makes perfect , on the elim knob i left it at between 3/4 later 4/5 MAX- Tone i like 2/3 and 3/4 hey it was windy up until almost noon time. This baby rocks like all heck. I went out waist high as i did not bring my wetsuit pants, and the waves were a little catchy..
Later i hit the shore and went down the stretch of the beach all the way to the north end of it and back.. I hate bobby pins, and yes the lovely ladies must have lost a lot of them as well as discarded double AA batteries,
Pick up a Strong signal and low and behold a cigarette case, around 4/5 " deep..inside was my little prize.. ( 6 ) $5.00 bills and 2 maryjane rolled & ready to smoke, so i trashed them Right !!One thing it PAYS to listen to what other detectorists tell you as i now have the senior citizens parking pass and it is $2.20
for the permit.. Thank you Tim for the INFO.. also i can get a L.A. county pass as well.. I will save over $300.00 a year.. wish they had a gas pass.. the Tone setting for me is great for me, those with sensitive hearing well i am sure Garrett will come out one day with a volume control..before i left for the day i did go into discrete trash elimination as i headed back to my ride and picked up a few extra coins but nothing to brag about.i used 7 on the elimination knob as well. This baby IS a winner for the cost, i use an army issue pistol belt as i can carry other items such as my mini plastic 1/4 " hand scoop, water bottle, & Velcro trash apron. My best liking with the H2 is land to water without all the B.S.! One just walks, wades or snorkels in. That's why i slip and slide.Will be heading back out if all goes right next Wednesday... happy hunting all. you can drop us a line at bill haymen P.O. box 4407 Burbank, Ca 91503-4407 if you like and let us know how you feel about the H2 and any small interesting finds you have located..
Slip and Slide Update May 22, 2009
Slip and Slide class of 1958 in Santa Monica, Ca - best
People wonder why a guy my age (75) detects, well took this baby out Monday 5/18/09 and found a few little trinkets, like a Tiff & co. REAL ring and lock charm attached, a CK silver teardrop earring, dimes deep, quarters & pennies give off a nice tone.
I hit Will Rogers beach where they sift the sand but coins lost years back were deep> it IS a BIG long stretch of beach, the tiff & co ring is in the 60$ range only, but it more than pays for my gas and park fee of $5.00. Now nickels well they come in pretty strong as well, and NO I am not using discrete trash elimination, still practicing in standard elimination..,((( tone wise I now like between 3/4 or 4/5 setting,))) elimination depends on what area of the beach area I'm hunting, 3/4 usually and 5/6 at times up near the still closed concession stands this baby rocks, those with sensitive hearing, it might be best for you to use 2/3 on tone..
I was not able to get out and in the water this time, Memorial Day weekend, is now here, so will wait until Tuesday morning 5/27/09 & hit both Santa Monica and Will Rogers, it will be 6:AM to 9:PM for me ..
Battery life, well Garrett's estimate is close, I change batteries on all my detects after 12/14 hours of use..more so in colder weather. The H2 is a Powerful worker & once you become familiar with the tones your on easy street, EXCEPT there IS always the " What the heck " sound(s), my sample collection now has over 200 different coins from various countries, + the usual pulltabs, bottlecaps, arcade & transit tokens keys, you name it I bet I have a sample in my box.. use them on all my detects... Garrett is a winner here with H2 BOTH in Price & Workmanship, price wise it is $260.00 less than white's surfmaster dual field at $899.95 & $360.00 less than the beach Hunter300 at $999.95.. with the H2 you can change the coil from 8.5 to the 10 x 14 inch ((( with white's well you cannot change coils ))) You will be Very Happy when using the 10 X 14 coil.
Your scoop arm will be in overdrive, so one should use the discrete trash elimination, as this baby is Very, Very Sensitive which I LIKE a LOT,, you can hit elimination at 7 if you like, well all have a great Holiday weekend & if your out Santa Monica way on Tuesday stop by and say hello.. Take care.. Bill.
May 22slip and slide in Santa Monica, ca - good
Well okay more of I LIKE it, still learning and have had a lot of lookie loo's all over the beach and out to a good 15/20 feet down, snorkle nuts are nosy as all heck.. also got the Prizm 6T as a back up for the sand BUT I like the H2 for the dry to water as NO hassle just dive or wade out chest high.. Must be the economy, as have found NO rings, chains etc heck even the old dimes are slow in coming up, and I have been hitting Santa Monica beach as well as up by the Malibu pier, etc.
But no matter this H2 is a winner... all have a great summer come June and Find, Find, Find those lost items... happy hunting

4 going on 5 stars
found tiffany silver ring and lock charm , plus CK. silver teardrop earring on Saturday had kept on only 4 tone and 4/5 elimination , hit almost $2.00 in dimes as well on the beach..SO will do my thing next weekend at Venice beach.. and update.. tone takes a little getting used too for those with sensitive hearing but for me it was all nice and clear. my main beef is i have to set my cell phone on vibrate.. also this baby picks up small junk metal items as well on the setting i had, did this on purpose as want to be very familiar with the H2 , and practice, practice practice is the best way for this ole soul, one man ( JOE ) i met on the beach was using an XLT and i sort of went behind him about 100 yards that is and picked up a few good nickels and i deep quarter, so it was either he missed the spot or the white XLT was low on something.. will be doing this all summer. i like the H2 , powerful, sensitive,reasonable price,does exactly what the advertisements state, Garrett got a winner on this one.Average rating:4.5 based on 2 reviews
