    Weekend finds, silver, gold and 950

    Patty and I got out for a bit today. She's been a real pain with the soft cast on, that I let her do some water hunting today. The water was real nice, not rough at all and a couple of other hunters around too. First hit was a small cross earring and later a gold earring. She got herself a cute...

    Dreams of riches... Delusions of grandeur

    Hi All, Been slow to post this month, with all the hunting and my camera being down, its been hard to find the time. Just 2 of the keepers I dug up during this Memorial day/ vacation week. The thoughts of $$$ really fly through your head when you pull one of these up. Couldn't wait to get...

    Late night hunt--(Sat)

    Patty definitely had the mojo last night. I wanted to take her out for a pre-Mothers Days hunt since we haven't been out all week. The tide was going out and the water has been warming up well. The south-west winds made the surf choppy, so we stayed shallow. She found a small 10k ring that...

    Heres a 1st for me. "A grill" and last weeks claddah

    Got out yesterday for a couple of hours, unfortunitely the tide was up and the surf was pounding. Good thing for me though as this "grill' was lost about 2 weeks ago. [attachment 89216 goldteeth.jpg] Looks like the waves bought this one back in. 7 other hunters out on the beach, but...

    Finally something yellow

    Its been a while since something yellow was in my scoop. I got out of work early and decide not to waste such a beautiful afternoon paying bills and doing chores. We got to the beach a few hours before low tide, nice crowd for a monday. The winds were still kicking up the surf so it was still...

    Saturdays silver

    Went out with the wife for what was supposed to be just an hour or two sunset hunt. Five hours later, and I'm beat. Good test though, it seem that my excal battery has been dying out just about then. The new 1500 nimh from "only batteries" is on a week without recharging yet after a good 12-14...

    Spring Break '08 weekend finds.

    Heres some of our finds from this weekend. No gold, both rings have no markings but still better than nothing. The only bummer was how much the kids trashed the beach, the amount of cans and water bottle on the beach was incredible on Friday, not to mention all the clothes and towels left...

    Great night to hunt- windy, cool, and sea fog.

    Got out for a few hours last night after a long day of honey-do chores. Hit the beach around 9pm -12:30am, no other hunters in site but some other tracks left behind. Still quite a few college kids out (die-hards) parting on the beach even though it was windy and foggy. Couldn't get in the...

    Finally broke this gold slump. 14k (China) fake stones

    My wife has been having all the luck these past few weekends. Yesterday she score a Titanium, but today I got the gold. Stamped 14k China, (so I knew very slim chance the stones would check out). They're fake. Ohh well, next time. [attachment 81671 FebgoldandTi.jpg]

    Was toying the idea of Turks and Cacos, Got this from the parks dept.

    Has anyone ever encountered a problem? <nationalparksinfo@tciway.tc> While there are no specific rules against metal detectors in the TCI, their use is not encouraged. Firstly, they would not be allowed within any National Park, Reserve, Sanctuary or Historic Site. That eliminates most...

    Cleaned up the Holiday finds

    The ring didnt change much, I was able to get rid of most of the tarnish, but no markings on it. Looks more like its nickle. I had my work cut out for me with the cross and chain, but here it is. Before [attachment 74008 crossbefore.jpg] After [attachment 74012 crosscleaned.jpg] [attachment...

    Holiday hunt.. 2 silvers and an aching body

    Well I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. Its a great opportunity to get together with friends and family for a few hours. Since I have the weekend off, Patty and I decided to skip the usual Black Friday shopping and out to go hunting instead. We would rather fight the waves...

    My first gold bracelet. Its no Mario, but I'll take it. :wiggle:

    Pluck this baby out this afternoon in the shallows. 8 1/2 inches of 14kt gold, 16 grams. Not much else out in the water. Very few people out in the water, but quite a bit up on the sand. [attachment 73360 goldbracelet2.jpg] [attachment 73361 Goldbracelet.jpg] Not a bad payday for a couple...

    Short spin at the beach

    Slow day at work today. Got out early with just enough daylight for a few hours of hunting. Coinage was low, we found almost $3 in change and a British Pound. I manage to find a huge CZ earing and a gold cross with 1 diamond (tested real). Cant find any markings on the cross for karats but...
