    Heavy Surf but a Nice Silver Ticket!

    I didn't hunt yesterday as I was giving some pulled muscles a chance to heal up and the weather yesterday was miserable but this morning the sun broke out before low tide, so I through my gear into the jeep and headed down to Horseshoe Bay for a look see. The surf was heavy breakers but the...

    Another 'Underwater' Camera Drowned:rant:

    Well this is my 5th or 6th 'underwater' camera that has proven to be anything but waterproof. A couple of weeks ago I dropped my Pentax Optio W30 in the parking area of Horseshoe Bay and it didn't survive the impact. I cashed in my change from last year's looting and that was enough to buy...

    Today I was the King of Junk

    I drove my wife out to the airport this morning for her flight to Canada for a 4 day business trip. We took the scenic route along the South Shore and I brought my gear along to hunt the other end of the island where the airport is located. Along the way we saw the horsey types out for a Sunday...

    Double Rainbow at Elbow Beach

    Yesterday the wind and surf were running high at Horseshoe Bay so I decided to change venues and try hunting Elbow Beach instead. Elbow Beach has been a popular vacation spot for many centuries; Mark Twain used to come here in the late 1800's and more recently the film The Deep was shot here in...

    Fort St. Catherine's Beach

    Yesterday I opted to make the 1 hour drive to the other end of the island of Bermuda and try my luck at a beach I have never hunted - Fort St. Catherine's Beach. This beach is situated below, you guessed it, Fort St. Catherines. Fort St. Catherines is one of the older and larger forts on the...

    A 6 Ring Day:thumbup:

    I had some running around to do in town today so the CZ-21 got to come along for the ride and I stopped at Elbow Beach on the way home for a little wet sanding. The 2nd target was a real shocker - as I washed the sand away and saw that the bottom of the scoop was full of gold.:yikes...

    It's been a good week for Silver

    I finally replaced my broken camera this week and decided it was time to post the pic of the silver that I have found over the last few of days. [attachment 152814 BDABeachCam006.JPG] Add to this silver loot the 7 Walking Liberty Halfs, 1 Peace Dollar and 2 Kennedy Silver Dollars that I bought...

    BDA Beach Cam

    Actually, we don't have an official beachcam in Bermuda but this is what it looked like outside my back door this morning, I'm on the leeshore of this storm so the other side of the island will be getting much stronger winds and waves. [attachment 152812 BDABeachCam003.JPG][attachment 152813...

    More Silver and Gold after the Winter Storm

    My body is still aching from the last couple of hunts, the water temp is down in the 50's and I'm still too fat to get into the 'shorty' half of my wet suit, so I am still hunting in just the farmer john half of my wetsuit - it makes for a chilly hunt. I wasn't very keen on going hunting this...

    Winter Storm gives up a little gold and silver

    I had little sleep last night as hurricane force winds played a tatoo on the hurricane shutters all night so I slept fitfully. I woke up making the sounds you hear from men several decades older than myself, my back was stiff as a board and it is now clear that my adventure with the eel...

    Had the Crap Scared Out of Me Today:shocked:

    The wind was really starting to pick up strength as I loaded the jeep for today's hunt. I decided to hunt Cambridge Beaches because it was the lee shore and I hoped to get some shelter from the wind and rain on this hunt. I got in the water an hour before low tide and it was pretty quiet for the...

    NIce Hunt Saved by 24" Silver Chain

    I got the electrical problems with my jeep sorted out yesterday and since it is now reliable transportation for not only getting me to the beach but back home as well, I headed down to Horseshoe Bay to see what was on offer. Winds were out of the NW for today's low tide, a cold wind out of my...

    Surf Pirates vs. Dirt Fishers

    I've detected in the dirt and I've detected in the water but I notice that these two areas of metal detecting attract very different personality types, generally speaking. I find dirt fishing to be rather sedate in comparision to surf pirating and I think that's the main difference in the kind...

    What's the Dumbest thing you've heard while Looting?:rofl:

    When we are down at the beach enjoying some surf pirating we tend to run into folks that, to quote Art Linkletter, "Say the darnedest things". I'll give you a couple of examples from some of the folks I have met while hunting. "Is that water wet"? (this from a tourist that had just got off...

    BDA's Best Week - What a Loot Fest:cool:

    The clock ran down on the one week period that has turned out to be my best week of looting yet. I managed to find 5 silver pieces today but no gold, however I found my first Walking Liberty (this is a rare coin in Bermuda) and my last ring for the week a silver ring with marijuana leaves...

    2 more 18k's out of Horseshoe Bay:thumbup::thumbup:

    My new hunting buddy Lee called this morning and we chatted about where to go hunting today and eventually we decided that Horseshoe Bay was still the best bet considering the minus tide and the weather forecast. Lee wanted to get to the beach early and I figured to show up around an hour before...

    Horseshoe Bay - 14k Fat Boy, 2 Sterlings and a Code Blue Nitro

    I wanted to scout out the cove beside the Bermuda Police Association's Hall in Flatts but I kept dogging it all morning, finding stuff to do around the house instead of heading to the other end of the island. What gives here? I even broke down and cut the lawn.:lmfao: An hour before low tide I...

    Gold as Money

    The other night my Princess and I were relaxing in the hot tub, having a drink and discussing our day's activities. She was going on about some problems at her work and I was mentioning that I had found gold ring #8 for the week - I stated that we were ahead of the curve for income this week...
