    :usaflag:4.0 Hours--A 3 Ring Day?? :detecting:

    2- Gold 1- Silver (If you count them!!) This is the first chance I had to scout this private beach to see what Sandy left behind for hunting conditions. Parking was a problem, because the lady who lets me park at her cottage hasn't got the sand plowed out of her driveway yet. I managed to...

    In the past 13 months Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter have been hard at work for many hours recovering targets from some of the toughest hunting grounds in this country!! A variety of beaches along the Connecticut shore were hunted, but most of the finds were old and deep. This...

    :usaflag:It was a silver kinda day!! :detecting:

    The two silver quarters were a foot apart. 31/2 hours of wading among the big stones of the "Sinker Garden" and the deeper sand around the outside of it resulted in only 26 targets recovered. After yesterday's hunt I was glad to head home when my old bod started to feel the chill. (The air was...

    :usaflag:This One Is Light Weight At 3.1 Grams, But It Is 14K!!:detecting:

    30' or so from the water line in waist deep water it was so light it was almost floating in the sand!! (The pics make it look big, but 3.1 Grams it is small!!) No doubt a drop from this year as it hadn't settled very far and is in great shape. [attachment 247483 10-26-12Ring006.JPG] Recovered...

    :usaflag:Sometimes Ya Gotta Listen To Hunches!! :detecting:

    The hunch was that I should try the spot where I found my last gold to see if the sand bar had changed. Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter waded out about 75' toward Long Island and got a fair signal. My very first target was on the deep water side of the sand bar between a couple of...

    :usaflag:Dances With Waves For 14K!! :detecting:

    As I sipped my coffee this AM overlooking Long Island Sound from the comfort of my old van I noted little if any fluttering of a nearby flag from a slight air movement. The sun was breaking free of the low lying haze hinting of a possibly warm day. There was a little gentle wave action which...

    :usaflag:10AM EST #46 Returned!! :detecting:

    Earlier posts about this ring mentioned that it may not belong to the lady who had lost a silver ring where I found it. Yesterday she returned to the home of her friend who asked me to watch for it in my recoveries and tried it on. [attachment 243463 9-9-1246004.JPG] [attachment 243464...

    :usaflag:Gold--From Down Among The Stones!! :detecting:

    From the condition of the join where the 5.7 Gram, 18K band was formed or sized I would say this one was in the water a long time. (No date, buit the join is eaten away and discolored!) [attachment 242386 8-27-12Ring003.JPG] [attachment 242387 8-27-12Ring006.JPG] Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I...

    :usaflag:An Important Part Of Being A Water Hunter :detecting:

    is being alert for finds recovered that may be overlooked, These things may be valuable, interesting or just future targets if they are dumped back in the water without being found.
