    :detecting::usaflag: Not Your Every-Day Hunt!! A Seven Ring Day!!

    Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter hard a red letter day!! 14-15 feet from the water line I got a faint signal barely heard over the EMI from the 8:30 Commuter Train. Several scoops later and I had this dolphin in my sifter! 3 hours later there were 4-10K rings in my bag!! One more...

    :usaflag: It May Be Small, But It's Old And It's Gold!! :detecting:

    4 Hours of water hunting until Old Mother Nature couldn't be ignored another moment (Incomming tide was getting too deep anyway!) and I had to stop digging. Mr. Dual field, Diablo and this Old Hunter recovered 61 targets which I consider outstanding where I hunt! [attachment 223378...

    :usaflag: Yep!! I Got The Pair!! :detecting:

    Twenty minutes or so into todays hunt I recovered an earring that looked like it might be silver and moved on to the next target. Two hours into the hunt and after traveling 75 feet or so down the beach in knee deep water and most of the way back again I recovered the second earring!! In all...

    :usaflag: Braved Ground Swells At The Top End Of Low Tide For Two Hours!! :detecting:

    And as the tide got lower the swells were blocked by a sand bar and things quieted down a bit for the last hour of daylight. Gold still eludes my Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter, but we as always gave it our best shot!! A few coins, some brass, a thin silver ring and Rosey were the best...

    :usaflag: Todays Hunt Was A .22Cal. Hunt!! :detecting:

    These pesky little bullets have been a nusance when water hunting for all the years I have been at it! I finally wised up and built an all plastic sifter with 3/16" holes that would not lose the bullets and would allow me to capture them and get them outa the way so I wouldn't have to chase...

    :usaflag: It Wasn't A Great Hunt, But It'll Do Until A Great Hunt Comes Along!!:detecting:

    The water was really rough this AM as I sat drinking my coffee watching the sunrise at 7:02! I knew that the sandbar a couple of hundred yards out would protect the area I wanted to hunt when the tide got low enough. At 8:30AM complete with Dual Field, Diablo, neoprene waders with lots of...

    :usaflag: I Don't Care If It Does Stick To A Magnet!! A Ring's A Ring!! :detecting:

    My first target this AM was a tiny ring and Dual Field let me know there was no doubt there was a target down in those stones. A couple of trys later Diablo tossed this tiny ring into my sifter!

    :usaflag: 31/2 Hours In The Rock Garden!! :detecting:

    When I had my usual early morning look at the water this AM I decided it was so calm I would have no problems with missing those tiny signals that wind, waves and RFI can really cover up. It was 11/2 hours past dead low with the tide headed toward high when I waded out there and started...

    :usaflag: Water Hunted 2Hours Today!!:detecting:

    As January winds down toward February weather plays a huge part in whether or not water hunting is possible. After noon the S/E wind quieted down a bit and the ground swells got smaller so I decided to get in a couple of hours before dark. Temps hit 45Degrees and even with a slight breeze...
