    Picked up another gold ticket for the loot chest!:thumbup:

    Took a quick spin down to Horseshoe Bay this afternoon and was rewarded with a ladies, carved gold ring. Not a lot of weight to it and it needs some polishing up but I was very pleased to see it in the bottom of my scoop just the same. I also found one of the first issue Bermuda 50 cent pieces...

    People living with winter keep asking me this question - - - -

    So What?s it REALLY Like to Live and Work on a Tropical Island?? I've lived and worked on two tropical islands in the last 4 years and I'm sure there will be other tropical paradises in the future that I'll call home. As a result, I get a lot of questions from people back home (Canada) about...

    Took Another Pirate Cruise in the Good Ship 'Plumbago' this time to the Old US Naval Base.

    I decided to try my luck at the old US Naval Base on Morgan's Island, it was opened in WWII and closed down at the end of the Cold War. There are two beaches there, one for the officers and one for the enlisted men and I hoped to find some older finds and memorabilia. Perhaps an officer's ring...

    Three Rind Day at an abandoned hotel beach! I sure wish I had my camera!:super:

    It was a truly Bermudaful afternoon and I headed out in my little fishing boat, Plumbago, to hunt the beach of a hotel that has been closed for several years now. The water was calm with just a light swell and the winds were perfect out of the NE. After a fun 45 minute boat ride I arrived at...

    No Bermuda Pics for a While - Ocean Salt Sank My Underwater Camera:sadwalk:

    I've owned an Olympus Stylus underwater camera for 18 months now and I take it on most of my hunts. The Stylus is submersible to 10 feet without a special housing and it is easy to carry in my pocket while surfhunting. Great pics and never a problem until yesterdays hunt when it leaked and...

    Scrap Gold from Jobson's Cove and a Near Heartstopper:cool:

    I decided to work the swimming hole at Jobson's Cove yesterday afternoon. I was into it for half an hour when a fella named Andrew arrived with his Head Hunter Wader so we stopped for a chat. Andrew never goes deeper than his knees which is perfect with me as I rarely come in that shallow, no...

    Church Bay Gives Up Some Old Silver and a little Gold!

    Church Bay is difficult to hunt at the best of times, tough wave action, rip currents and a rocky sole make it tricky and sometimes dangerous. After Hurricane Noel passed by Bermuda last weekend I felt that some of the old loot might have been tossed up into the lane and I was right. Conditions...

    Pretty Rough on the South Shore, Today!:biggrin: Going to Surf Church for Sure!:super:

    Small Silver Ring and a Pirate Skull

    [attachment 72101 PB030004-1.JPG] The waves from the passing storm are crashing in 6 feet high so I had to find a sheltered cove on the lee shore in order to get in a hunt yesterday. I spent 2 hours in the water and managed to pull one small silver ring out of the water, $1.02 in clad, a...

    A new way to reach those inaccessible hunting grounds:biggrin:

    A good mate of mine, Glenn, had one too many boats and has given me the use of one of his spare boats in exchange for me fixing her up a bit. The 15 hp Mercury outboard I completely overhauled in my backyard, the old rotting toe rails I stripped off and replaced, the hull and topsides are...

    Nocturnal and Diurnal Bermuda

    I took a few pics of some of the interesting plants in my garden. These plants are very different at night then they are in the day time. This bush is at the entrance to my garden and the leaves are full during the day. [attachment 69363 P9140019-1.JPG] When the sun goes down the leaves close...

    Sand Sculptures at the Beach

    The Sand Sculpture competition was held at Horseshoe Bay this weekend so when I couldn't sleep I got up early and headed down for a hunt. Conditions have been bad lately but I thought what the heck, better than watching the early morning news. Feral Chickens on the Driveway [attachment 67312...

    Headed out in the wind and the rain for Horseshoe Bay but wound up at Shelley Bay Instead:(

    I headed out in the Toenail with my gear this morning in the hopes that last nights storm had stirred things up a little. I got to Horseshoe to find signs prohibiting swimming due to the high surf conditions, it was pretty nasty looking. I kept driving until I got to Shelley Bay on the other...
