    :usaflag:3rd gold, first 14K for this year:detecting:

    11/2 hours into a 4 hour hunt and the south west wind was creating some annoying wave action. At a little less than one hour I had this 11.2 Gram, 14K bracelet in my pouch and was excited about the possibilities awaiting Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter among the stones I was walking...

    Ace 250, 5 Minutes, Lost wedding ring found!!!

    Clearing up some "Honey Do's" this AM I saw a fellow headed toward me from the front drive and asked him if I could help him. He asked if I was Lew, the guy with a metal detector. In the following conversation I learned his son-in-law had lost his wedding band in his side yard and could I help...

    :usaflag: Surprises just keep coming!!:detecting:

    Yesterday I managed a 3 hour hunt that didn't produce any amazing finds, but did cause me to wonder how some things just fall into place. 47 Targets recovered in 3 hours is not a bad average in the spot where I was hunting and the finds were about average too. [attachment 290760...

    :biggrin:Cupajo in living color!!!

    Neither of these pics are "great", but the young lady went to a lot of trouble to get them to me. They were taken as I left the water after my first hunt in January this year. They offer a fair view of the gear I use and how I carry it. CJ [attachment 290254 1stHuntoftheyear1-14005.JPG]...

    1st gold ring for the year!!

    Brisk south wind, temps in the low 60s, water at 42 degrees wave action a little too rough for comfortable hunting, but Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Ole Hunter were long overdue a hunt!!! The last time out I found a spot with thinning of the sand over stony sub-strata and wanted to follow...

    Silver and ----gold?

    Short water hunt this AM. Got in 13/4 hours before ground swells, cold wind and an urgent call from Ol Mom Nature sent me home!! Recovered a hand full of targets including 2 silver rings and a heavy little crescent that has no markings but acid tests OK with silver/10K/14K/18K, but not 22K or...

    These don't usually come outa salt water looking this good!!

    Got in a quick 2 hour hunt yesterday where I found the University ring in December before the sun set. Of the 20 targets recovered (I hunt slow and steady!!) this is the most interesting. It was buried deep in sand within a clay like layer. Surface etching is visible, but the detail is in...

    2nd Water hunt this year!! Silver and Gold

    1:30PM Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this old hunter waded out into the 39 degree water of Long Island Sound to scout for any place where conditions would allow a good hunt and we got lucky!! 3.5 hours of my second hunt this year produced 39 targets recovered including a 1' tall religious...

    Been Taking A Break! Today's Gold and Silver

    From my last gold find of 6-15-13 I hunted 36 hours without a hint of gold in my sifter. I hunted 8-27-13 for the last time until today as workload, family commitments, and life in general got in the way of my desire to water hunt. Since I live near my hunting grounds I have been monitoring...

    :usaflag:Yesterdays Hunt--Silver and Gold!!:detecting:

    Work and Family obligations have recently been keeping my hunting to a minimum. Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I headed out into a perfect morning of hunting yesterday at 8AM and spent 4 hours carefully covering a heavily hunted spot listening for those deep targets and came away satisfied with the...

    :usaflag: 4 Hours of perfect water conditions for a change!!:detecting:

    One of the first targets was this small ear ring that I thought might be gold, but wasn't sure until I acid tested it at 14K as there was no hallmark!! The clincher was the 20 small diamonds I tested as real!! I spent lotsa hours water hunting since my last gold and am pleased to finally get...

    :usaflag: Low Tide, Calm Seas, Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and Me==Gold :detecting:

    Just before 11AM and an hour or so before dead low tide locally I finally got a chance to hunt beyond waist deep in a spot I was sure I might find gold. The recent cold spell, winds and rough water have kept me ashore for too long!! Almost 2 hours in, a half hour past when my bladder alarm...

    :usaflag:3 Hours Wading In The Last Of Low Tide This AM :detecting:

    Most of my time lately has been spent scouting local beaches looking for a place where the sand has thinned out enough to do some hunting. At a small local community beach I had been wanting to try I scored a lead bonanza this AM. The sand had thinned out just enough for Mr. Dual Field, Diablo...

    :usaflag: Sanded in!! :detecting:

    The last storm has pulled sand off the beaches locally and covered my hunting grounds in a big way!! 21/2 hours today resulted in 28 Targets Recovered and most (25) were pieces of aluminum and wire plus a few nails and bottle caps. Keepers= 1-clad dime and 1-large sinker plus a small crimp on...

    :usaflag:What!? Gold Again?? :detecting:

    Yep!! Mr. Dual Field was acting kinda crazy from all the late afternoon plane, train and boat radio interference, but Diablo and I persisted and came away winners!! I guess St. Christopher took pity on this Old Hunter for being foolish enough to try to hunt at peak traffic time of day with a PI...

    :usaflag:Lotsa Clad, Some Junk and a Golden Surprise!!:detecting:

    MY hunting partner Frank and I arrived at the beach where I found the '33 class ring yesterday at 2PM and found the water calm enough, but showing a little wave action caused by the SE wind. An hour into the hunt I had recovered a half dozen clad quarters and some junk and the waves were...

    :usaflag:Ir Was A Bronze, Silver And Gold Kinda Hunt!! :detecting:

    Air Temps hit the mid-40s this afternoon and at 2:15PM Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter started hunting the deep side of a local sand bar where I was sure the sand should be thinner than most of the area closer to shore. 21/2 Hours and 29 targets recovered, 1-large (3"OD) bronze ring...
