Nantucket residents to avoid local beach as ‘hazardous’ debris collection continues.
Dangerous shards from broken windmills washing up on the beach pose a threat to beach goers and has resulted in beaches being closed in the northeast.

It doesn't hurt to know your detector, including the tones and target readings, but that is not the most important skill for finding treasure. Discrimination in its various forms is for missing stuff - not for finding stuff.
While there are situations when discrimination and target ID can be useful, it is often used when it is not helpful. The most important skill for finding stuff, is putting your coil over good targets.
Target distribution is not random. The longer the item stays on the beach and the more exposed it is to the forces (for example where the water hits) the more things will be classified or distributed and redistributed according to the laws of physics and nature. I won't get into all of that again now.
So how do you more frequently put your coil over good targets? Read the beach and analyze the distribution of objects on the beach.
I've said this before, but junk targets provide important information. They tell you something about how things are distributed on the beach. For example, if you are hunting gold rings, they are seldom going to be mixed in with aluminum - especially in high energy zones. They will occasionally get mixed together in some places, but again, I can't detail all that now. To improve the probabilities, you want to hit the hot spots where good targets will get dropped.
The basic idea is that there is way too much beach to cover, but there are some smaller areas that will produce more of the good targets. The key is to not spend much time in the low probability areas and concentrate on the high probability areas. If you are getting a lot of the wrong kind of items, that is a sign telling you that you are not in the best place. You don't want to miss those signs. The junk targets will point you away from areas where your chances are poor and toward better areas. Read the beach, but also read the distribution of items on the beach. Don't put on the blind fold of discrimination before you start to get that figured out.

Archaeologists have excavated a medieval palace where popes resided prior to the Vatican in Rome becoming the official residence, the Italian Culture Ministry said on Wednesday. This comes ahead of renovations for the 2025 Catholic Holy Year, or Jubilee.
Working in the square outside the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran in the city center, archaeologists uncovered an architectural palace structure which included walls, thought to have protected the Patriarchio, a staggering basilica brought to life by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century, the ministry said in a statement...
