    Bit of a nitro attack

    I made a choice today after work. Go to after work meeting or ditch the meeting and hit the water. Guess which one I chose? Anyway, I don't hunt with my glasses so I was hoping this little gem was something real. Problem was it hit like silver and alternated gold on the CZ21 so I knew there was...

    First ring return of 2013 for me

    I answered a Lostmystuff.com ad last night for a lost wedding ring on Clearwater Beach. I headed out early this morning only to be greeted by angry surf and a couple of other hunters. I figured between lastnight's low tide and this morning it surely was scooped up by now. But in about 30 minutes...

    My furlough day road trip (pic heavy!)

    Yep, I was one of those Air Traffic Controllers that was forced to take some time off so I decided to take a little road trip to So. Fl. I headed to my sister's place in N. Ft. Lauderdale. Went out to John Loyd State park (because that's where my sister goes for peace and quiet). Surf was up and...

    Found my first David Yurman ring

    Hit the beach early this morn. Water was calm but clouds were threatening. Found the usual trash and one ring. A hefty .925 with three sided stone. Got it home and cleaned it up was surprised to see D.Y. .925 inside. Made my day! Exotic Stone Ring, Pietersite,

    the best of it today

    Hit 2 beaches, one with too much trash I had to leave and the other was the one I was at yesterday where I got the gold band. Lots of coins, 1 junker ring and one nice .925 ring with garnet. DC

    Early morning low tide gold!

    Hit one of the local beaches this morning. 58* out (sorry northern guys) but that's a little chilly. Second target was a junker little aluminum ring. I thought at least it's a ring. After a bunch of clad and about 2 hours later hit a D&G stainless spinner. Not more that 5 minutes after that hit...

    4th hunt of the new years gets me on the board

    Hit the water (burr) early this morning. I was really hoping to score gold for the new year. It wasn't until the end of March last year that I pulled my first gold ring. This morning I was waist deep and hit a silver ring that has been in the water for quite some time as you can see. Second was...

    Show me your scoop tethers

    I just bought myself an RTG aluminum scoop for Christmas. I get tired of lugging around my stainless one when hunting the wet sand and my dry sand wire mesh scoop is way too lightweight. So, my stainless scoop has a wood handle and I simply drilled a hole in the end and use a rope tether with a...

    My totals and highlights for 2012

    This was my first full year of detecting, Last year I started in June and did pretty well for a half year. This year was a big improvement over last with some really nice finds and lots of memories. For me the biggest and best memory is/was finding rings with ice. Right next to that was several...

    December Gold and Silver

    Headed out this morning early to try and catch the end of the low tide. Lots of sand on the beaches here. Water temp was nice. I was in the water for 4 hours altogether. Managed a 1.65g 10K small ring with fake ice and 2 nice silver bands. 3rd, 4th and 5th rings this month but the first 2 were...

    My cool ring return story

    On April 7th Felipe and his wife of just a year and a half went to Clearwater beach for a couple of days relaxation. They are students from Brazil studying at the University of Florida in Gainesville. While swimming Felipe lost his wedding ring. He actually thought he lost it on a different part...

    8/26 pre storm hunt with gold

    Headed out this morning to CWB, the surf was supposed to be smooth with wind out of the east. Got there and wind was north with some pretty choppy surf and brisk wind. Not much to report from CWB so I headed south and hit a beach that I've only glazed over before. Spent about an hour there and...

    The big and small of it

    I was admiring my rings since I called it quits early today because of conditions. Thought I would post the smallest ring and the largest ring I have found so far this year. Found both rings while water hunting earlier this year. The small ring with black pearl was my first gold ring of the year...

    8/21 nice little gold

    Went out yesterday and this morning. The surf on the gulf coast of Fl is ripping. Way too rough to get into. Spent both hunts hunting dry and wet. I consider myself pretty lucky to find this small but chunky (6.29g) 18K ladies wedding band in these conditions. HH, DC

    Little gold, little silver and a return today

    7 am this morning stepped into the water and within 10 minutes I had a nice 5.35g white 14K wedding band. Left that beach and headed south. While I was walking onto the beach I was met by a lady who lost a gold and diamond earring yesterday. She knew exactly where she lost it in the dry sand and...

    I had a pretty scary close encounter yesterday in the water

    My wife is always on my butt about being careful while I'm in the water hunting. With all the sharks in the news lately I'm sure it's on everyone's mind. It was about 7am yesterday morning I was a little over waist deep inside the sand bar. It was just a little choppy because of the sand bar...

    Man, finally broke a 6 week gold drought. 5 total rings today. One being 4.42g 10K mens wedding band with 4 small diamond chips, the rest are silver. The second gold which is a first for me is a gold dental crown. I actually found the crown first to break the streak. It was in a wash out or...

    two odd coins I found in the water

    Last week after TS Debby while shallow water (ankle deep) hunting I ran across a 1929 King George V one penny. It was pretty crusty and I figure it was in the water for a while. Today while in about thigh deep water at a completely different beach I dug up a 1915 King George V one penny. Before...

    6 days on Clearwater Beach

    Well our vacation is over. Even though we are locals it's nice to get away to the beach. This year we picked CWB for detecting purposes. Wasn't really sure what to expect staying on that beach just because all the crazy stuff I see go on there while detecting in the last year. But it was...
