Interesting idea, and well executed.

Nice idea! I didn't find the treasures very exciting, but then that it probably realistic for metal detecting :-)

Regarding your package, I knew to dig down into the bin directory for the executable, but it isn't super user-friendly.

Cute idea, also the different beeps for different objects.
Overall it feels a bit sluggish, is that GDI based?

All the thrill of mowing the lawn with my eyes closed! Gameplay's kind of slow, but I think that's accurate for beach combing. I got four of five treasures, then I started digging for the last one, which had a special beep, and I was like, oh, this is going to be a particularly good treasure, but then it blew me up. :) What beach am I combing, Normandy?

A pretty good idea. The game felt quite slow to me though, increasing the speed of movement and digging would probably increase the fun (at the cost of realism, but it is after all a game).

Feels like part of a game, not a whole game. Needs a bit more to maintain interest.

It's a neat idea, but the movement felt a bit too slow for my liking. Finding the treasures was a bit of a chore.
