    Fresh Back From The Bahamas...Did a 3-hour Spin Down The Lane Today...Gold AND Silver!

    Had to go down and get my "fix" today after our cruise to the Bahamas, WITHOUT my detector. But that's cool...we had a KILLER time. But now it's back to business! ;) So I hit the lane for the 3PM low and the beach looks better than it did when I left last week. Still a bit weak on the...

    Wow! Talk About A Wicked Looking Radar Screen!

    And we can't get any sand movement??? I heard maybe 35 MPH winds on Friday. Of course, the weather folks haven't been right about much of ANYTHING lately. We'd do better looking in the farmers almanac, I'm afraid. :shrug: [attachment 34105 jebuscrispus.jpg]

    Ina And Her Excal Were Shining Today...She's On Fire!

    Call this post a continuation of my "River Loot" post...this is Ina's stuff. She likes her Excal. A lot! Aside from 15 quarters, 13 dimes, 9 nickels, and 33 pennies, she also found a 10K white gold 10-diamond channel set ring, a 10K ruby and diamond ring, and a silver St. Christopher...

    No Skunk In My Lane Today! River Loot!

    Had to head away from the oceanfront today...too painful down there. Enough to make a man :cry: So Ina and Darren and me met up at 3:30 AM for a little trip to try some river hunting. It's a bit more work...I spent 5 hours in the water with the Excal submersed the whole time. The targets...

    Getting Close On Ring Return...

    Struck out on the first one but the most recent is looking good. Finally got a response from the Alumni coordinator at the high school in Indiana where the 1983 ring came from. She tells me she's on the case and working on contacting who she believes to be the owner. I'm dying to know WHEN it...

    New Ultrasonic Cleaner Arrived Today

    I agonized over which one to buy, how much to spend, etc. and I ended up snagging this one on eBay for $50. I have to say I am VERY impressed with it. I've cleaned a couple of diamond rings rings and a gold chain with it and the results were outstanding. It has a BIG tank and gets some MAJOR...

    Some Post-Hunt Pics From This Morning...Dolphin Watch

    After the hunt this morning I drove home, got my wife, and headed back down for the sunrise. She'd never seen any dolphins "in the wild" so I took her, hoping they would come out. They didn't disappoint. Here are a few pics...taken right from the old surflane. [attachment 32526 Dolphins6.jpg]...

    Advice/Opinions Requested...Diamond Tester

    I want to buy one. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg but I also want one that works. The ability to test other gems would be nice too but not a hard requirement. Who is using what and how does it work for you? Ron, I just bought the same scale as you off ebay...looks like a decent...

    Three Hours In The Lane...Ice, Ice, Baby!

    Well...er, SORT OF! :shrug: Unfortunately, what looks promising under the LED light on the beach in the dark can fail to pass muster back at the ranch under the loupe. So what looked like MAYBE a platinum diamond ring turned out to be a 925 and CZ. Oh well. The watch is cool. And I had a...

    Had To Upgade...Too Many Rings!

    Just picked up one of these nifty 72 ring display cases on eBay. My old 36 ring case has been overflowing for a long time. I'm sure this one will be nice and if so I will probably order another one. It was $17...$26 with shipping. There are many others. You can do a search for "72 ring...

    Almost Had a Skunk-hunt, And Then...

    Just as I turned around to detect my way back down about 7 blocks to my truck, I hit gold. It's 10K with some very modest diamonds in it. And I nabbed it NORTH of the pier....go figure! :) Funny thing is that there were a bunch of black kids and family swimming and cavorting in the water as I...

    Hollywood Swingin' Baby! Five Hour Hunt Nets Four Rings...

    Two gold and two silver. Hunted from 8:45 PM to 1:45 AM. Lots of deep clad and a few hot spots. Did really well hunting the incoming tide when I stayed longer after the low tide than I usually do. Saw David, Darren, and Ina there and we all hunted together for a little while until spreading...

    Morning Low Tide Meeting With The Surf God AND Davey Jones Himself...And He Had His Locker WIDE OPEN!!! :yikes: Quadruple KLONDIKE!

    Actually, the Surf God told me that I had exceeded my grams/carats limits for gold and diamonds and that there would be no more for me in the month of July. And Davey slammed the lid on my hands. :( But I WAS allowed some OTHER treasure, which I will share with you now. The nut... [attachment...

    Another Morning Low Tide Hunt With Gold In My Scoop :smile:

    Hit the beach with Ina, Darren, and David. Hunted from about 3:30 to 7:30 for the 5 AM low tide. The weather was awesome and the seas calm. Another two rings for me...a big 14K mens and little 10K ladies. Pretty much everything I dug was from a beautiful 3 foot cut that we found and worked...

    Heh...WOW! Looks Like We Lost A Few Posts!

    Hopefully there's a tape backup. Otherwise I'll have to find 4 more diamond rings! :lol:

    Genuine Excalibur Sounds, Recorded From Various Items...EDIT: UPADTED, New Sounds Added

    There are many Excal users in this forum and several new ones. And probably a few that are thinking about getting one. The thing I like best about it is the variable tones, which are very much like the Sovereign series...the Excal essentially being a waterproof Sovereign. It's true that...

    Slim Pickin's In The Surf Lane This Morning...

    Hit the lane at 5 AM with Jack and Darren and for the 7 AM low tide. There was no shortage of hunters but from what I saw and heard, a surprising shortage of targets. Usually we're rolling in it by this time on the 4th Of July weekend. Maybe things will pick up tomorrow. I did luck up and get...

    Virginia Beach: Lost Ring Alert...REWARD! 3 Carat Amethyst

    I met a lady on the beach today that said she had lost a ring while in the water in the vicinity of the King Neptune statue...around 31st street. She said it's a 10K gold ring with a 3 carat marquis-cut amethyst stone and diamonds on the side. It's more of sentimental value than monetary and...
