    :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...

    :detecting::usaflag:21/2 Hour Water Hunt This PM With Friend Frank---

    We managed to find an area protected from the waves and not too sanded in that yielded mostly fishing sinkers and clad. A couple of more bullets and this odd device along with a junk ring and a Merc rounded out the take of 32 targets recovered for the hunt. [attachment 226046...

    :usaflag: Hunted Some Pretty Rough Water This AM!!:detecting:

    Caught the tide as it was an hour or so into the transition from dead low to high and by staying in the lea side of the sand bar was able to find a few coins until an hour or so later. The waves started making it past the bar to where I was hunting and I spent the next hour and a half...

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

    21/2 hours before sundown I started hunting the same spot where the sand left a small area only partly buried. The targets were deep and the signals tiny, but Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter will find it sooner or later if it's there!! I have found several silver half dollars in the...

    :usaflag:Another Quick Hunt On The Sand Bar!! :detecting:

    A little over 2 hours this PM I waded the shallow water at low tide and Dual Field/Diablo hunted the deep sand on the sand bar I hunted yesterday. My Friend Frank stayed with the area he got a workout in yesterday for a couple of hours too. Of the 29 targets recovered only two were junk finds...

    :usaflag: When one part of the hunting grounds gets sanded in----------:detecting:

    ----------another will often become accessable. My Hunting Partner Frank and I met at the beach where I have recovered gold over the past month and he opted to hunt the "Scoop Killing" Beach one down from where I wanted to hunt. Nearly all my recent hunts have been no more than 40-50' out from...

    :usaflag: Hard working a sanded in beach for 51/2 hours!! :detecting:

    My Friend Frank joined me for this hunt and the ground swells made for an interesting time of it. For 51/2 Hours I used every trick in my bag of tricks and managed to recover 32 targets in an area where each target was deep and I lost several among the deep boulders. I pushed Mr. Dual Field...

    :usaflag: More sifter details!! :detecting:

    A Hunter Friend from Australia asked for more details of my sifter and this AM I thought I would oblige with a short photo essay illustrating every point I considered when I built mine. My desire was for a highly functional sifter that cost as little as possible and I built several over the...

    :usaflag:The Odds Ain't Bad When Ya Get One Outa Five!! Gold That Is!! :detecting:

    Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter managed to pull the rabbit outa the hat this AM!! The Eastern weather of the past 48 hours or so have covered most of my hunting grounds with up to several feet of sand. When I checked the water this AM at about 7 oclock it was smooth without a wave...

    :usaflag: The benefits of using a sifter!! :detecting:

    This AM at 8 I waded out into our calm local waters to see how much metal I could remove from the waters edge out into the water for the distance of a long coil swing. (I was in knee-deep water.) Both my hunting partner Frank and I have worked this short stretch to death, but I know from...

    :usaflag: At A Little Past The Four Hour Mark I Saw Gold In My Sifter!!:detecting:

    When I arrived at the local beach my Friend Frank and I have been hammering lately the wind was calm and the water still, with only a tiny ripple at 8AM, a couple of hours before dead low tide. Mr. Dual Field and I worked in close to the water's edge as detailed in the previous post, to see how...

    :usaflag:A couple of curiosities and some silver!! :detecting:

    When my hunting buddy Frank and I waded out this AM for our 31/2 hour hunt, I expected the sand to be less deep as a result of recent weather and was surprised to discover 8-10" of sand covering the spot I chose to hunt. The majority of these targets were deep and most required serious digging...

    :usaflag:Brief photo essay of first dual field hunt!! :detecting:

    Conditions were near perfect when Frank and I met at a little before 8AM this morning. As a long time (2 years or so) DF user I offered Frank all the Dual Field wisdom I could muster. As an experienced dry land hunter who had no PI experience Frank did pretty well and used his new machine for a...

    :usaflag: Strong, Cold Wind and Rough Water!! :detecting:

    At 7:30 this AM it was almost an hour and a half past dead low tide locally as I took these pics. There is a wealth of information contained within these shots, but only getting out there will reveal the extent of the changes taking place. The water is fairly rough for this shoreline, but...

    :usaflag: Today's Hunt Was About Half As Rough As Yesterday's !! :detecting:

    The wind today was a lot quieter and the water followed suit with waves much easier to deal with. [attachment 224263 2-22-12006.JPG] [attachment 224264 2-22-12001.JPG] Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I covered more of the same ground we hunted yesterday working more of the deep sand 8-10" over a...

    :usaflag:Rough Water Hunt Today!! :detecting:

    Everything was perfect for the first hour or so when my friend Frank arrived to join me after a 1/2 hour drive. He didn't even get his waders on when the wind cranked up outa the south east and started ground swells rolling in over the sand bar. In the few minutes it took Frank to suit up the...

    :usaflag: Always Nice To Find More Gold!! :detecting:

    Met up with fsa46 for a 41/2 hour "clean out sinkers" hunt today! We both got our share with me walking away with 5 (I'll have to let Frank tell you his tally as I didn't count his.) Targets are thinning out on this stretch of beach where I recovered 5 gold ring in two days this past week...

    :usaflag:A Little Bit Of Gold, A little Bit Of Silver!! :detecting:

    And I do mean a "little bit"!! This tiny stud earing is the smallest piece of gold I have ever found! [attachment 223712 2-18-12Finds005.JPG] The silver earing is clearly marked Italy. Otherwise it was a "Watch Out The Waves Don't Swamp Your Waders" and "what? another sinker?" kinda day...

    :usaflag:51/4 Hours, 74 Targets Recovered and This Old Hunter had Had all The Fun He Could Stand For One day!! :detecting:

    Todays hunt re-covered the same ground where gold was found for three days in a row, but not today. Among the targets recovered are many old, small and in nearly every case difficult to recover items. A few more hours, maybe 20 or so, will allow me to finish putting a Dual Field, Diablo...

    :usaflag: Today's Hunt Was Not A Repeat Of Yesterdays!! A Lot Less Gold, A Little Moire Silver!! :detecting:

    Water conditions were much the same this AM as yesterday's, but a west wind started to stir thing up in The Sound near the end of our hunt. My Hunting Pal Frank and I got in a decent hunt even though no gold rings came to light! 50 Targets found there way into my sifter with the spotlight on a...
