    :usaflag:Unmarked Jewelry Finds!!:detecting:

    Once in a while I recover a ring etc. with no Hallmark or other identifying marks to allow me to determine what kind of metal they are made of. If they pass the "magnet test" and the "file test" I know they may be a more precious metal. I know about acid testing for gold, but how does one test...

    :usaflag: A Human Interest Story--Frankie Got Her Bracelet Back!! :detecting:

    As I was leaving the beach this afternoon a pretty lady stopped me and asked if I might have found a silver bracelet like the one her husband, sitting on a bench nearby, was wearing. She told me how they were custom made by a lady silver-smith for them when they married 35 years ago and then...

    :usaflag: Father's Day Gold!! :detecting:

    Work schedules, contrary weather/tides and family commitments have kept me from water hunting for a while now and on those occasions when I could get out there for a brief hunt I found most of the areas I tried to be sanded in. My wife of 44 years asked me what I wanted to do to enjoy my...

    :usaflag:Threat Of Rain, But Found Gold Anyway!! :detecting:

    It did sprinkle for a while as I hunted a spot where the sand had thinned out a bit and I'm glad I stuck it out to pull this old 14K signet ring outa the edge of the "Boulder Field". [attachment 235049 6-9-12Finds004.JPG] It is well worn from someone wearing it for years and the seam has...

    :usaflag: My First 3/4 Length Farmer John Type Wet Suit!!:detecting:

    One of my middle-aged, dry sand, beach hunting friends gave me a new/never worn wet suit with the tags still on it because he decided he wasn't going to be a water hunter after all. (And it was just my size!) After a thinkin about it for a year I finally decided last year, when the water got...

    :usaflag:This Old Water Hunter Got In 3 1/2 Hours Today= 1-Small Gold!! :detecting:

    Most of the 46 targets recovered were small and some were deep enough to assure me that Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I were doing our respective jobs! 4- .22 Cal. bullets, several small sinkers and odd bits of brass accounted for most of the finds. [attachment 233754 5-25-12Finds002.JPG] Old...

    :usaflag: It Ain't Big At 2.8 Grams, But It's 18K!! :detecting:

    The hunt started out as one of the foggyest hunts I have ever experienced as I waded out at 11AM, a couple of hours before dead low tide. Gentle ground swells with hardly any air movement made for some strange feelings as the landmarks drifted in and out of view! Soon Mr. Dual Field and Diablo...

    :usaflag: An Amazing Gold And Silver Days Hunt!! :detecting:

    My hunting partner Frank and I met at a local beach where the sand had shifted enough to allow decent target locating and recovery. The water was calm and the day warm with the sun flitting in an out of the scattered clouds. Armed with Dual Field and Diablo I started finding targets among the...

    :usaflag: International Silver This AM!! :detecting:

    Rainy morning, but the water was calm and couldn't be ignored. Grabbed up Mr. Dual Field and Diablo and waded out into calm waters with a light sprinkle coming down. 3 hours of moving stones around resulted in only 33 targets recovered with 2 silver rings as the spotlight finds for the day...

    :usaflag:This Kinda Silver I Really Like!! :detecting:

    An hour past dead low tide I decided it was worth the risk of getting soaked to take advantage of the slow work day and the very low moon-phase tide. Rain is forcast, but held off for the 2 hours I dodged waves that were getting larger as I got more into my hunt. Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and...

    :usaflag:No Gold Today!! A Couple Of Items Of Interest Though!! :detecting:

    After a breezy afternoon with wind outa the south I expected to have problems with rough water and was delighted to find the water calm with a gentle swell where I was hunting at the Rock Garden. My last two hunts produced nice gold wedding bands, but today's hunt produced a little silver...

    :usaflag:A Second Silver And Gold Day!! I Really Like It When That Happens!! :detecting:

    At 2PM locally we were at the top end of the outgoing tide and my favorite time for starting a water hunt. The day was overcast and almost cold and the water was calm with hardly any wind to stir things up. Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter waded out a few yards from where I found the...

    :usaflag:The Water Hunt Started Out As Nothing Special, But Silver And Gold Changed All That!!:detecting:

    My hunting partner Frank and I entered the water at 12:30 as soon as the tide was low enough for us to hunt at our chosen beach. Both armed with Dual Fields and Diablos and ready for the hard work demanded of us by the Boulder Field and near by Rock Garden!! Frank headed for the area I have...

    :usaflag:3 Hour Water Hunt w/ some interesting finds!! :detecting:

    A little before noon with the water just low enough for me to hunt without flooding my waders, Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I waded out into Long Island Sound for another hunt!! Sand had moved away from this spot giving me a shot at some old targets and the 4th one, only 10' or so from the...

    :usaflag: A Rare Gold Find!! :detecting:

    Todays early AM water hunt started with calm water and temperatures in the mid-30s with no wind to speak of. Three hours and 30 hard earned finds from the Rock Garden were enough for the day as the wind by then was brisk out of the south east stirring up waves that were jumping the sand bar and...

    :usaflag: Storm Shifted The Sand-----Silver!! :detecting:

    From years of experience I know that one of the worse things for equipment and your body is to let them lie around unused! The water settled down to a moderate ground swell this AM and I decided to take a chance to see what the recent stormy weather may have done with the sand covering the Rock...

    :usaflag: 65 cents in one scoop!! :detecting:

    Got in an early 2 1/2 hour water hunt this AM before the storm is supposed to start slapping New England around!! 33 targets recovered with this little surprise being the highlight of the hunt!! 1-quarter, 3-dimes and enough pennies to bring the total to 65 cents. [attachment 230289...

    :usaflag: Results of scouting expedition!! :detecting:

    A couple of days ago I scouted an area searching for aspot where the sand had "thinned" out enough for some chance at finding gold. Capt. Kidd hunted this area a few days ago and pulled some interesting pieces of junk jewelry that got me wondering if----------- Yesterday, 4 hours of hunting...

    :usaflag:A Golden Hunt!! :detecting:

    A west wind made water hunting kinda "iffy", but what the hey------ Yesterday's scouting the area paid dividends today!:thumbup: An hour into a 3 hour hunt and Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I had these 2-10K rings in the pouch!! (Another '64 Class ring.) We spent 2 more hours and recovered 30...
