| A Few EOs. |
You can skip over iron targets, but sometime they can be good. Above are some EOs that aren't all that good, but to me they are interesting. I like to find old artifacts even if they are iron.
In the past I've shown some nice spike collections dug by readers of this blog. I think a couple of the EOs shown above are probably spikes. The one in the middle, I think might be a pulley. And the one on the right is a void. Voids are formed when the metal has dissolved leaving a mold where the metal once was.
I think the item shown below could be a scupper. It isn't iron. I have no confidence that it is a scupper, but that is my best guess.

Old posts on remote viewing continue to get views. Those posts keep showing up on the weekly most viewed list. Since remote viewing seem to be such a popular topic I thought some of you might benefit from these tips. They are things you can do to become more effective at it.
1. Relaxation exercises. This can take many forms, but the intent is to learn to quite the mind so that your intuition can take over. This will be difficult to near impossible for some people but probablly anybody can benefit from the exercises.
First, find a quiet space without distractions. At the beginning you might set a timer for some relatively short period such as ten or fifteen minutes. It is surprising how long a few minutes can seem when you try to quiet your mind.
Close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply. Pay attention to the breath going in and out.
You will have thoughts. That is ok. just let them go.
If you are so inclined, try different forms of meditation.
2. Practice visualization technique. This might be easier for visual thinkers.
Start by visualizing simple objects such as a ball or apple. With your eyes closed try to visualize the details including shape, color, texture, shadows, weight, etc. Engage other senses, such as feel, smell, taste.
Draw what you visualize. You might be artistic or not. It doesn't matter.
As you improve and feel ready for it, use objects of greater complexity.
3. Conduct practice sessions with targets.
If you use a database, select a target, write down the reference number and when you are ready, relax and be open to any impressions. Write down or draw all of your impressions. Don't start with what you think it would be. Passively draw whatever features come to you. Don't try to be accurate or detailed. Just let it flow. You might start by light scribbling and then let it take shape.
Compare your records or drawing with the target and analyze your performance. Were you right about anything? What could you do better?
Repeat the exercise as often as you feel inclined.

Enhanced sensory awareness can help you whether you do remote viewing or not. For me, feeling the sand, compact or mushy, feeling the wind, and hearing the surf is nice, but it also can help make you sensitive to the environment, beach conditions, treasure clues and even non-metallic treasures that might be on the beach.
I think some people focus so much on the metal detector they miss a lot. You don't have to constantly focus on the tones and signals and sweep. That, with time and practice can be automatic.
Here is something that might change your focus. Don't think of metal detecting as covering ground. Focus on putting your coil on a good target - one after another. Focus on stalking treasure. When you put the coil over a good target, let the detector signal if it thinks you are right. That changes the focus from "metal detecting" to finding good targets. It might seem like a subtle difference, but I think it will make a difference.

Beautiful day and a lot of snow birds hitting the beaches, especially last weekend. Dry sand hunting might even be worthwhile.

Nothing special there.
Good hunting,
