    :usaflag:5 Rings In A Day, What's Next!? :detecting:

    Sometimes the let down can be down-right laughable!! As an Old Hunter I know the odds of finding gold are deminished with every ring I remove from an old, inactive beach, but as always I live in hope of finding more jewels! Two days ago after 4 hours of hunting I had recovered 57 common...

    :usaflag:Had a Hard 5 Hour Hunt Today and Was Rewarded W/5 Rings!! :detecting:

    Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I entered near perfect water this AM with a westerly wind at our back and the first 2 targets were 9MM bullets. Fast forward 2 hours, after recovering lots more bullets and fishing sinkers, I found the tiny, dark colored, signet ring among the dark stones in my...

    :usaflag:Our Four Man Water Hunt :detecting:

    The water was near perfect, the day a little too chilly for me with the sun in and outa the clouds, but we still had a good time sharing a hunt.It's always interesting to see how each hunter searches for targets. Joe carries his scoop on his shoulder while Frank and I drag ours along behind us...

    :usaflag:Hunted With The Latest Diablo Prototype Today!! :detecting:

    3 1/2 hours of perfect water conditions with Mr. Dual Field, Diablo Pro. and this Old Hunter performing flawlessly to recover 51 targets. [attachment 229430 4-12-12Finds001.JPG] [attachment 229431 4-12-12Finds003.JPG] I was certain the spotlite piece today was 10K white gold wedding band with...

    :usaflag:Another Crematorium Tag, An Indian Cent And Silver!!:detecting:

    As the sun peeked outa the low-lying clouds just after sun rise this AM I hoped it would clear away some of the cloud cover and create a bit of warmth to chase the early morning chill away. Starting 10 minutes or so before sun-rise I already had several targets recovered and was looking forward...

    :usaflag:Lotsa Bullets In This Spot!!:detecting:

    3 hours and 41 targets recovered was about all this Old Hunter could manage before Ol Ma Nature sent in waves that threatened to toss me up onto dry land!! Summer cottages line this beach and have for over a hundred years. Most are seasonal with a year round home here and there among the...

    :usaflag:It Was A Silver Kinda Hunt!! :detecting:

    My hunting Buddy Frank is from a small town a half hour or so from where we have been hunting. Today I took him on the "Cook's Tour" of all the local beaches to round out his knowledge of the local hunting grounds. We then water hunted for 3 hours in part of the Boulder Field we found...

    :usaflag:Valuable Information About Gold Ear-Rings :detecting:

    Just a "heads up" for those hunters who may not know, there is often (but not always) a Karat mark or Hallmark on an ear-ring post that can be so tiny as to go unseen unless a strong magnifier is used! [attachment 228214 3-31-12EarRingID001.JPG] This one is fairly easy to see, but I have...

    :usaflag:Another Good Hunt Today!! :detecting:

    (They're all good hunts Friends!! ) Water was near perfect except the moon phase didn't drop it as far as I would like. The day was clear and calm with a northerly breeze keeping it that way. 4 hours of hunting with 65 targets recovered (mostly keepers) with a fine Claddagh Ring from Ireland...

    :usaflag:It's Small, It's Beautiful, It's 18K!!! :detecting:

    Frank and I met up to clear out some more junk metal from a stony spot at one of our local beaches. The idea is to get all the easy targets outa there so we can focus on the deeper targets and it's working! [attachment 228036 3-29-12Finds002.JPG] Frank found a broken gold ring and I found...

    :usaflag: Tide A Little To High, Water A Little Too Rough, Wind A Little Too Strong, But I Still Got Silver!! :detecting:

    It was a little too cold and a little too cloudy when I started, but the sun came out and warmed things up a bit, but the wind got stronger making it feel colder! Had a Wheat penny slip out my gloved fingers and lost it down among the stones. It was "one of those days" and I almost wished I'd...

    :usaflag:A Better Day Than Yesterday?? You Bet!! More Gold!!:detecting:

    Anticipating a great hunt today I was in the water a bit too early and had to be careful I didn't get wet from the water being a little too deep. 4 hours later I headed home with two more gold rings (both man-sized, 10K and lots bigger than yesterday's little girl's rings), a silver ring, two...

    :usaflag: An Amazing Hunt----More Gold!! :detecting:

    Sometimes following a hunch and moving a few yards in another direction can change the results of a day's hunt. Today I recovered 82 targets, more than I have in a long time and mostly keepers! (I didn;t even mind the 8 Zincolns!!) [attachment 227120 3-21-12Finds001.JPG] [attachment 227121...

    :usaflag:Another Perfect Day For Water Hunting!! :detecting:

    Water beatifully clear, hardly a ripple, no wind, sunny day= my kinda day for hunting in the water!! 41/4 hours of hunting the same area I have hunted for the last 4 or 5 times out resulted in over 70 targets recovered, mostly junk! [attachment 226910 3-19-12Finds002.JPG] Another Merc, even...

    :detecting::usaflag:Perfect Day For Water Hunting For Gold!!

    Yesterday I hunted 3 hours and recovered 60 targets that were mostly junk except 1 tiny wire ring of silver. (It was so thin it would barely cast a shadow!!) Today was a 4 hour hunt with everything perfect including Mr. Dual Field with8 new batteries and Diablo ready for tough digging as...

    :usaflag: Water Hunted 3 Hrs Today And Recovered 54 Targets Including 2 Rings!! :detecting:

    The third Target was a massive Tungsten Carbide ring, my second to date. [attachment 226518 3-16-12Finds005.JPG] [attachment 226519 3-16-12Finds003.JPG] Later a brass ring minus most of its gold plating ended up in my sifter. A dozen real pennies, none of which can be spent due to the bad...

    :usaflag:Finds Don't Have To Be Spectacular To Be Interesting!! :detecting:

    4 hours of Dual Field hunting and Diablo diggin resulted in 37 targets recovered. Not a bad day for a hunt, but I prefer sunshine, warm breezes and calm seas to overcast, breezy, cold and just a little too much choppy water for me. Early on it seemed as if bullets, mostly .22s (I gotta tell...

    :usaflag:Another Fine Day For A Water Hunt!! Gold Again!! :detecting:

    Conditions were near perfect when my Hunting Buddy Frank and I started our water hunt locally this AM. A fairly large area is almost totally free of sand and we were able to hunt a bit over 4 hours and hardly made a dent in the site. My first ring was the little 14K W/Amythist (Which fell out...

    :usaflag:The Day was warm, The Water Clear And Calm---Perfect For Finding Gold!! :detecting:

    At 3:30 Pm I waded out into Long Island Sound to see if I could help my Friend Frank out by removing some of the sinkers he has been plagued with at one of out local beaches. Two pieces of trash and over a dozen (Final count 15 sinkers plus aa large Octopus hook!) sinkers later I started a...
