    :usaflag:Highs- Low 40s, Sun Shining, Gentle Breeze, Calm Water, 3 Hour Hunt!! :detecting:

    Well that's how my hunt started anyway! A half hour into the hunt the west, south west wind started the water jumping and the sun hid its face, but the low tide allowed me to scout several areas from the water's edge to waist deep. 21/2 hurs in a wave slapped me in the face as I waded along...

    :usaflag:Water's Near Perfect For A Hunt This AM!!:detecting:

    No swells to speak of and in two hours or so the water will be low enough locally to hunt some of the spots I have located that look to be "possibles". The only problem is that now and for the extended forcast the temperatures aren't going to get above freezing and the light north wind drops...

    :usaflag:Warning!!Car Thieves Can Easily Get In Your Car If This Is True!!

    This floated in on the E-Mail River and if it is true I felt I must share with my hunter friends!! (Not my story!!) Wednesday, I approached my truck from the passenger side to place my computer bag (aka my man purse) in the front passenger seat. As I reached to open the door I noticed there...

    :usaflag:Saw This In My Sifter, Thought It Was Junk!!, Tiffany Don't Make No Junk!!:detecting:

    Donned my 7Mil 2-piece wet suit to see if I might be able to stay warm with the sun helping overcome the cold water. (Forgot to bring my thermometer, but air temps were 48 degrees with a strong north wind creating some real low chill factors and a good guess would put the water in the low 50s or...

    :usaflag:Scouting again, Hunted two beaches today!!:detecting:

    1st beach sanded in, but still managed some can slaw and two bullets. Second beach produced all the coins shown including a 1942 Walking Liberty half, a silver Rosie and a 1929 Buffalo. [attachment 254099 1-9-13Finds001.JPG] The nicely made serpent seems too heavy for brass, but is un-marked...

    :usaflag:One Hour Into A Two Hour Hunt And 14K Dropped Into My Sifter!! :detecting:

    By the end of the second hour my hands were wet and cold from water finding its way into my shoulder high rubber gauntlets. Cold was penetrating three layers of thermals into my 7Mil neoprene Cabella's waders too! Mr.Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter headed for home with 23 targets...

    :usaflag: Dual Field Gold for 2012 :detecting:

    The second pile is for the entire time I have used the Dual Field. It has never been back to Whites or needed anything, but minor repairs. (Which I did, such as repairing a broken coil ear.) The first pic is of 53 gold rings and a few other gold items from 2012. It was my best year since...

    :usaflag:Dual Field Ear-Phone Mod.:thumbup:

    From that day back in August of 2009 when I bought my Dual Field I have enjoyed using it and have water hunted with it as my main machine ever since. The only thing that bothered me about the DF was the ear-phones and how they would not block out the sounds of waves/wind etc. when I was water...

    :usaflag:Vinyl Tubing Coil Cover :detecting:

    When I started water hunting in the '80s there were no covers availible for the coils I was using and they soon started to suffer from the harsh environment they were being used. I gave a lot of thought to the problem and came up with this idea which has served me well ever since. I posted...

    :usaflag:Even When The Hunting Isn't Great Slow And Steady With A Dual Field Will Sometimes Getcha Gold!!! :detecting:

    Today after two hunts and an hour into another one for a total of 9 hours since my last gold Diablo dropped this little jewel into my sifter!!:thumbup: [attachment 251812 12-13-12Finds006.JPG] It's small, only 10K and the "stones" are not diamonds, but I don't care!!:biggrin: I like...

    :usaflag:One Old Hunter+One Dual Field+One Diablo Scoop+13/4 Hr. Hunt= Gold & Silver :detecting:

    At sunrise it was in the mid-30s here, but by the time I decided to brave the temps it was almost 40 degrees. Clad in several layers of thermals and my dry suit I waded into "shelter cove" and found a clad quarter as my first target and thought to myself, "I hope it doesn't go down hill from...

    :usaflag:No Gold Today!! I Had To Settle For Brass, A Few Silver And Platinum W/Diamonds!! :detecting:

    The day after my double gold hunt I started suffering with the sinus/chest congestion thing that seems to slow me down each spring and early winter. It has taken me a couple of weeks for the last two or three years to clear away the congestion enough that I can get back to a "normal" life...

    :usaflag:Sometimes a Little Scouting Pays Off!!---In Gold and Silver!! :detecting:

    Only a couple of small jobs today that allowed me to scout another section of beach where I have found rings in the water before. 3 hours in I had a silver quarter and toe ring and over a dollar in coins including a well worn buffalo. Yesterday I changed the ear pads on Mr. Dual Field and found...

    :usaflag:Danger in Scouting the Shoreline of Long Island Sound!!:detecting:

    Several friends and I have been scouting the area for places to hunt and so far it seems as if Sandy really fouled up our hunting grounds!! In desperation I even spent a couple of hours at a local state park beach I have never hunted before because of its EMI and deep sand. Generally there are...
