1 factor is probably that condo dwellers are more likely to leave their jewelry and money inside.
That steep dropoff you are referring to can be common when sand is imported artificially. Just have to wait for the tides/currents to sort it back to what nature wants it to be.

I know its nerdy, but I like learning stuff like this. Thanks for posting it, Rick.
(and in the spirit in trying to contribute something, I learned yesterday that EPNS on a hallmark means ElectroPlated Nickel Silver, which actually has no silver except in the plating. the base metal is Copper, Nickel and Tin)

Only thing I can add to the first post is audio quality. Sometimes wind noise makes it difficult to hear what the detectorist is saying. Good Summary!

But how many components of anything are made where?
"Assembled in USA" is more common nowdays, but how much is it really an American product when only 5-10% of the value comes from the US?

I've said it before and I'll throw it out there again:
I had a prof in college that taught us how to use bent coat hangers as 'divining/dowsing rods" to fool the rubes.

Except to allow scams to separate the intellectually challenged from their money. So long as they are a paid advertiser, that is.
Sorry, but I will not stand by and let pseudoscientific nonsense go unchallenged. Especially when someone is getting ripped off.

marcomo, you are dead on. I had multiple PM's here that I hadn't noticed dating back to last year. My apologies to you and others for my oversight! I will correct that immediately.
And yes, Ron Stone was a great guy to deal with. My post of "Surprised" (or something like that) on the posting of the lrl was just that. Was happy to learn that Ron had nothing to do with it.

Man, that's the truth. I got the hook for calling out Windy City Detectors for selling long range locators. Not on the forums, but IN A PM! Apparently WCD's new owner went tattling to mommy when I called him out privately.

I thought the couch potatos had lost interest in the detecting/treasure hunting programs since they can only "find" obviously planted items. My read is that this 'producer' needs to buy a Clue somewhere.

I wouldn't trust KC to tell me if its daytime or not. Anyone with the morals to sell "LRL's" to suckers is someone who will look out for their own interests ahead of everything else.
