    I went for an hour long walk on my beach with the ACE250 this afternoon.

    After the last couple of water hunts my arthritis was kicking up again so I decided to pass on the low tide today. It had been raining and blowing since last night as the latest cold front moves through and I just wasn't feeling up to it today. Late this afternoon the sun started to shine and...

    Use a Jeweller's Cloth to put a Great Finish on Your Finds

    I picked up a couple of Jeweller's Cloths from the local jeweller the other day and I'm extremely impressed with the difference they make when putting the final polish on my finds. After you've done your basic cleaning and they're as clean as you can get them, use a jeweller's cloth and they...

    Clearwater Beach gives up a Pretty, Little Sparkler!:thumbup:

    I took my Princess out to the Bermuda Airport this morning so she could catch a flight to Montreal, Canada for a business meeting. [attachment 81296 P2180006.JPG] Our cottage is on the opposite end of the island so I took along the Excal so I could hunt Clearwater Beach which is located at the...

    Part of Something is Better than All of Nothing:thumbup:

    I spent Saturday teaching my apprentice pirate how to hunt the surf, I missed Surf Church waiting on a call to go find an old widows ring but today I hunted. I headed back to Tobacco Bay this afternoon to see what I could find. I managed to pull $4.43 of clad, a silver ring and 2/3s of a gold...

    Chris the Apprentice Pirate's 1st Hunt

    I dropped the Princess off at the spa at 10 am this morning and headed over to the Swizzle Inn to meet up with my Apprentice Pirate Chris. We had 4 hours to get to tobacco Bay, teach Chris Surf Pirating 101 and get back to the spa in time to pick up the Princess. This is not as much time as it...

    You won't believe what I found on Valentine's Day - Gold and I eyeballed it!

    I decided to take the yeller feller back to the button beach today and work the turf to see if I could find any of these mystery buttons that are supposed to be left over from when they burned the british military uniforms during the yellow fever epidemic in the 1860's. Luck was not on my side...

    The Good Pirate Ship 'Captured Hearts' is coming along nicely!

    Just before we moved to Bermuda, the Princess and I took a tour of the east coast of the U.S. from Maine to Florida and back through the Great Lakes States of Michigan, Ohio and New York, we were looking for a Classic Wooden Boat. I Love boats and I Love wood so it was a no brainer (perhaps...

    I Got Nitroed, BIG TIME!

    I decided to hit the wet and dry this evening ona minus tide. I picked up a good amount of clad, some bits and bobs and the sweetest Nitro! Broke My Heart. It's had me going for a while as it was already dark when I found it but after cleaning I can see that it is .925 and my diamond tester...

    Decided to call this the Lionhearts Hunt:super:

    I like to name my hunts based on the significant finds I make, this way I can keep track of them in my photo file. Today I was on a scouting expedition to find an easy beach for Chris to hunt on his introduction to surf hunting. I've pounded all the beaches nearby on the west end of the island...

    I Managed to Patch Up My Camera, can't say how long it will hold together.

    So far no luck with the camera so I took matters into my own hands and cleaned it out with electronic cleaner, removed the salt corrosion on the posts and then left it to dry out. It's working again but the memory card is completely fried so I can only take 8 pics before them internal memory is...

    Has Anyone Heard About a Discriminating PI Unit Coming Out of the Whites Skunkworks?

    I've heard a few rumours that a deep penetrating, discriminating, PI machine was going through field trials. Apparently, it will give you a very sore arm quickly from digging deep, deep holes. Anyone?? Cheers, BDA:cool:

    3 Hunts = $10 clad and $7 in bus tokens plus a junker copper ring, a NATO bullet and a Military Button.:(

    I've done a lot of digging the last few days and cleaned a LOT of junk out of my regular hunting grounds but No Silver and NO GOLD! It happens to all of us but you can't push the river and your sure can't push Mother Ocean. Time to get creative and find another way around the problem. On the...

    10k signet ring from Mangrove Bay and a Great New MD'ing Contact:thumbup::thumbup:

    It's a rainy day in Bermuda today so I slipped over to Mangrove Bay in the gray and the drizzle for a quick hunt. I've stripped this beach pretty good, because it is so handy, I've hunted it a lot. Huge volumes of junk in the lane so I still haven't hunted that completely but the mine is...

    I Wanted a Gold Fix Today and Mother Ocean Didn't Disappoint Me!:thumbup::cool::thumbup:

    The ferry pilots didn't go on strike last night as anticipated but they told everyone on the ferry last night that they would be wildcatting today.(anything for a long weekend I'd say):laugh: I was volunteered by my Princess to drive her and her gals from the ferry into Hamilton this morning...

    Well, It's Official! My brand new camera is dead.:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

    My new Olympus 770 SW underwater camera is shot. The store I bought it from is little help, I'll have to see what the manufacturer can do for me tomorrow. One thing is for certain, no Bermuda pics for a while until I get this sorted out. Cheers, BDA:cool:

    I need everyone's comments on which detector to get my Younger Brother for his B-Day.

    Morgan lives in Alberta in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains so he is interested in doing a little gold prospecting in the rivers there. He would also like the machine to be good on the land as well as the water so he can hunt parks as well as swimming areas. He's always been a dirtfisher...

    Forgot My Wetsuit Today - Had to Settle for the Wet Sand

    I got a call this afternoon just before I was going out to catch the low tide with a nice gale blowing, emergency meeting in town! 'There goes my hunt' I thought to myself. I had all of my gear by the front door so I quickly piled it in to the back of my jeep with the idea of trying to salvage...

    There's a Gale Blowing Today!:thumbup::detecting::thumbup:

    Winds westerly to 45 kts., seas inside the reef 3'-5', outside the reef 15'-20'. Now that's what I'm talking about!:super: Time to get my gear ready and head down to the beach. Kewl, BDA:cool: I just wish I wasn't hung over from last night's Robbie Burns Dinner, that was a lot of Scotch...

    No Gold Today but I did manage an Old Silver

    The sun decided to shine this afternoon so I hit the surf for 2 hours which didn't produce more than a couple of dollars worth of clad, a brass hotel key fob and key and most importantly a Silver 1934 British Half Crown! It was a Bermudaful afternoon and I stayed warm by staying in the shallows...

    Pulled a Sparkler Out of Horseshoe Today:thumbup:

    I took the advice that was so generously given on this forum and applied it today with Excellent results! I caught the low tide at Horseshoe Bay and worked the Lane with only a brief sojourn to the Mine (which was dead). My first ticket of the day was a .925 Italy Silver Chain, I picked it up...
