    What was the French Foreign Legion doing in Bermuda??

    It was a blustery day in Bermuda yesterday, right out of Winnie the Pooh, but I had the desire to hunt and would not be deterred. I hit Mangrove Bay in the morning for low tide and Cambridge Beach in the afternoon at the high tide. I focussed all of my energies on the shallow water and I was...

    ATTN. SURF PIRATES! I Need Your Help.:please::please:

    Those of you who have read my posts over the past 2 years probably already know that I have little trouble locking in the Excal on Gold and Platinum Bands. The Problem is I seems to find Men's Wedding Bands almost exclusively. I've decided to try and focus my hunting on finding Women's Wedding...

    Dockyard Gives Up Old Silver:thumbup:

    I noticed that the Works and Engineering crews had been cleaning up the beach at Dockyard the other day so I made a trip out there this afternoon. The winds have been blowing strong from the NW for the past few days, bringing cold, damp weather (mid 50's, BRRR!) but also blowing away almost all...

    Time to Cash in the 2007 Clad

    I rounded up all of my clad from 2007 today with the idea of cleaning the last of it in my tumbler and then cashing it in at the Bank of Bermuda coin machine. Great machines these coin counters, just dump in your clad and it credits your account with the total amount. My containers of cleaned...

    Very Quiet at Horseshoe Bay but at least there was silver at Jobson's Cove!

    I took a spin down to Horseshoe Bay this morning to see if the conditions had improved but I was disappointed to find that the beach is still heavily sanded in. The main beach produced a junker toe ring and nothing else; 'How Sad is THAT??.' The swimming hole produced a little clad but that's...

    Opportunity Knocks but You Have to Open the Door

    I wasn't really feeling up to hunting yesterday but I decided to catch the low tide in the afternoon anyway. Unfortunately, the wind and waves had pushed a mass of Sargasso Seaweed into the swimming hole at The Royal Naval Dockyard which would make for an ugly hunt as I tried to push my way...

    It was a Bermudaful Day so I Took a Cruise in Plumbago to 'Wreck Bay'

    It was a Bermudaful day so I paddled out to my little fishing boat 'Plumbago' and slipped the mooring this afternoon. I headed out past the rocks in the middle of Mangrove Bay where Plumbago normally swings on her mooring and headed for Wreck Bay. [attachment 77872 P1080001.JPG] Wreck Bay is...

    What can I say? I screwed up today.:rage::cam:

    I had an appointment in the east end (downcountry) of the island this morning from my home in the west end (upcountry) and then I would have 3 hours on my hands until I could return home so I took the Excal along for a spin. It started out poorly when I was rushed to get out the door and forgot...

    Ran into an old friend of mine today - Tiffany (&Co.):thumbup:

    It was a very silver sort of day today. I did an inspection of my coil cover and found that the edge of the cover has worn through so I pulled it off and took it for a hunt to scuff it up a little so I can apply epoxy to it. I would prefer to swap out the cover but I don't have one and the...

    Jobsons Cove - No Gold but I Looted Some Old!

    I was back at the South Shore yesterday for low tide as the winds are still out of the North. I took a pass on Horseshoe and went a little further to Warwick Long Bay to see what might have washed up for me to salvage. This beach is very exposed so you can only hunt it after a few days of...

    First Hunt of 2008 Nets 2 Rings - 1 Platinum/18k and 1 14k

    It was a busy holiday season in Bermuda and I wasn't able to set enough time to hunt until today. The weather was foul with rain and overcast, a high of 63F, winds gusting to 30 knots NNW and a sea surface temperature of 69.3F. The winds being from the North meant that the South Shore Beaches...

    Buggered up at the beach today.:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

    We had some nice high tides and strong South winds for the past few days so I knew that conditions at Horseshoe Bay on the Southshore would be good for hunting today when the winds swung around to the North. Imagine my disappointment when I got to Horseshoe Bay 2 hrs. before low tide to find...

    South Shore Surf Church Winds 35kt SE, Surf 5 feet - 1 Merc., 1 Rosie and a Ferry Token

    I hit Horseshoe Bay the afternoon for a late Surf Church and conditions were Rough! The surfers were out having a blast in the rollers and a few kites were up and trying to break their lines. I got out to chest deep before a mountain of foam and water shoved me back. What was I...

    :(Lightning doesn't strike twice.:nono::(

    I spent three hours freezing my butt off in the water today and I have two pennies to show for my efforts and a mountain of trash. Two copper discs that are the remains of pennies would actually be more accurate. I did a spin at Wreck Beach which is at the base of Wreck Hill where the wreckers...

    My Beach Continues to Surprise Me - 18k/Plat Men's Band

    My gale of the past few days was a bit of a disappointment for me as I was expecting the gale out of the SW as per the forecast but it came in out of the N instead, useless for churning up the South Shore Beaches as this made them the lee shore. The winds quieted down this morning so I decided...

    The East Coast got Sleet, Snow and Hail! So Today Bermuda is Getting a Gale!:thumbup:

    Winds to 45 kts. and waves to 6' out of the SW means that the South Shore of Bermuda may finally get stirred up enough to deliver some nice tickets for this Pirate! I'm keeping my fingers crossed because even though the sand has moved a little over the past few months it has still been...
