    Old yacht club gives up lots of old silver coins!

    Old Post but those are great targets! Looks like you have the perfect spot! I'm betting there is some old gold in there some where! Have you made it back yet?

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Yes, Happy Birthday buddy! That cart is a life saver, I have a few spots I have a mile walk..sure makes the walk back easier. And I plan on using weights this fall with my drysuit and it will make carrying them easy.

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    When someone hunts the Chesapeake bay and they post their silver I can fairly much tell what part of the bay they are hunting. By the condition of their silver. Top (North Bay) ..Baltimore area ..Annapolis area, than for me the southern area around Saint Mary's county. Each has a distinct...

    That's amazing on the old silvers, I only have one or two spots that give that stuff up and it's in ruff shape if I do.

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    You got a lot of really old silvers too! Most silvers here are from the 1930's up.. I did have a couple years of 300 plus silvers but that has really dropped off but,.... if I am finding silver ... there is gold in the mix, one spot .. It was really rare to find silver and I was finding...

    I agree, once the walk in spots go dry the boat and ski open up some many other possibilities.

    Why no Fisher Impulse forum?

    I tested several AQ's over the last three years, average is 3 hours and 15 minutes with the factory stock battery. Luckily, I jumped on the problem when I got mine and came up with a couple designs for alternatives. One is 5.5 and the other is 11 hours. I did make a few different ones testing...

    Why no Fisher Impulse forum?

    There are a couple AQ FB groups and post are rare. Like TVR said, lack of..........I only know of 5 people using them on a regular bases. Even I only use mine at a few spots, Maybe one time out of 4 outings.

    First Day with the Fisher Impulse AQ

    My opinion, I don't think there are any production PI water machines that can touch the AQ, BUT why I would not recommend it to anyone at the moment is the battery life. Future wise, let's hope they release a upgraded unit. Out a few weeks ago with the AQ. small signet

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Out thursday, no gold but the cart worked great, pulls very easy on the land and in the water. Added a few details to it today and i think we're ready for action. Going to be a big help in the water for I can anchor it in spots of interest if needed. So easy to lose your bearings when far off...

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    It can vary, 1 to 5 gold is normal but I have had one spot in 2019 which was more than a mile walk that gave up 35 gold, in 13 hunts, in 30 days... Great was, I had made friends with one of the locals one day coming out of the water ....only to find out we were good friends from the 80's. Now...

    It is for sure, and a word of wisdom. You find a good one....... don't let it rest.

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Thanks WW! Never really kept track of the hours but from 2015 to 2020 I did keep detailed records of the (gold found) hunts, Pictures, video tides/winds/location/temps but not the hours............ most of my hunts last 4 hours, tides are coming in, I'm done. I guess the only goals I set over...

    OBN, What is the gold count this year??

    Thanks for asking...I've taken off the last 22 months? and just started getting wet 4 weeks ago, think I've been out 7 times now with 3 gold rings. Not much to show yet. Maybe come the end of the year I'll have a better count. The last 22 months had a few health issues (Hopefully over now) and...

    First time Water detecting. 10 cents richer.

    I hunt old beaches, 99% of the time. Like said above, location/location/location. Lots of pictures more than likely they have been hammered. Only one way to deal with it, go hunt, not just once but often. Learn them like the back of your hand that way when something changes you know. On the...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    So they say, I got my senior park pass to one of the local fresh drop beaches so I hope to add that to the mix with the older beaches I hunt. I really don't expect much since I was told the jelly fish have been a problem.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    Yes, wetsuits and gloves work great. It the bathers who are wearing the gold that they are keeping out of the water. Yesterday the jelly fish were not as bad so I took off my wetsuit top and wore my long sleeve nylon shirt, I could feel them thru that but not full strength..more like a tingling...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    This time of year seems the worst word in the Chesapeake Bay is..Jelly Fish. The bathers are going into the water and coming right back out for they are getting stung. As a hunter you cover every inch of your body from sun and those little guys, I've heard finds of any kind are way down. Since...
