    Small Gold Is SUCH A Sweet Sound On An Excalibur!

    And though it's a meager ring, it's enough to keep the old gold streak going for a 4th hunt. :) Not much of a hunt, as we are in bad need of a re-seeding...which I believe is on tap for today. But I did manage to pull a tiny 14K gold ring out of the shallow surf with what appears to be a blue...

    High School Ring Update

    Well, I tried, but it looks like the 2006 class ring I found this weekend will go unclaimed for now. I'll post it on ringfinders, but I thought that even though I didn't have a school name (It just has an "H" for the school) that I could still find the owner. Because right next to the 10K mark...

    A Quiet And Lovely Night In The Lane...Gold And Silver Too!

    I hit the beach at midnight for a 4 hour hunt around the 2:20 low tide. Ended up swinging until 5 AM. I saw a few other hunters in the lane, all dilligently working and looking for the bling and dutifully filling their holes. :) Things are loosening up down there...it's not sanded in as bad...

    BIG Gold! First High School RIng Of 2006...

    Hit the lane from midnight to 4 AM for the 1:30 low tide. Got a dozen quarters, several dimes, a few nickels, and a bunch of pennies. And a big fattie 10K chunk of a ring, deep in the wet sand. Saw David from Suffolk out there. Darren too. And some guy digging DEEP holes and not making any...

    Got A Couple Of Keepers In The Lane Last Night

    I took today off from work, so last night I headed down to the lane last night for about 3 hours for the 10:45-ish low tide. Hit a couple of nice hot spots on clad but other than those two places the lane was mostly devoid of targets. What I hit was up higher in the wet sand, down in the low...

    My Father's Day Hunt

    So I'm on my way to the beach this morning at about 5:45...maybe 10 minutes away from actually swinging the coil...for a 7:50 AM low tide. I'm heading to the Virginia Beach ocean front in my '97 Ford Explorer. There aren't many cars on the road at this time on Sunday morning and at this...

    Busy Night In The Surf Lane...And a Golden One Too!

    Darren and I Hit the lane from midnight to 4 AM for the 2:15 low tide. We only saw two other hunters...Tony and David...gold tickets for all four hunters, so I would say "It's on, baby!" I also saw something tonight that, if real, may be the find of the summer. :yikes: Time will tell on both...

    Slow Night In The Lane, But a Little Silver

    I hit the surf lane this morning with the Excal from about 12:15 to 3:15 for the 1:30 low tide. I was swinging maybe 5 minutes when the first target popped...the heavy silver turtle ring. After that is was pretty slow, not many targets being left by the many hunters hitting it now. Ran into...

    CZ-70...Anybody Know A Source To Get One?

    I know somebody who wants to get one. I don't see any on eBay now and I'm sure most dealers are out but thought I would post here and ask. He may also be interested in trading a Minelab Quattro for one. Any info appreciated.

    First Night Hunt 2006...About As Expected...

    ...no gold and darn few targets, but definitely picking up and I did manage to find a peculiar silver earring. I was surprised to find what little I did, especially since the surflane vacuum named David From Suffolk had already hunted UP the beach as I was heading DOWN. I hit it from just...

    Cool Gadget For The Digital Camera Folks

    I posted this over at the Beach & Water forum too...I just thought it was a pretty neat deal and wanted to share it with my two most-frequented forums. I just recently picked one up on eBay. It's a multi-format memory card reader/caddy that allows you to take your flash memory card out of the...

    Cool Gadget For The Digital Camera Folks

    I just recently picked one up on eBay. It's a multi-format memory card reader/caddy that allows you to take your flash memory card out of the camera (or out of the package from the store if you just buy the memory) and slide it into this thing and then plug into any computer USB slot. You can...

    Short Hunt Nets a Little Lead And A Little Silver

    Went out to my favorite "hunted out" field today. Same old story...been hunted by dozens for decades and still gives it up when you're willing to work for it. I had the Exelerator 12.5" coil on the Ex2 and was grid-walking the large and freshly mowed field. My first pull was a '41 Merc, which...

    Lost and Found Ring Website

    Beach season is here again and although there's not much popping down at our beaches right now, there soon will be. Here's a link to a web site that I usually post my found class rings on. I guess it could also serve as a guide for where to LOOK as well. :lol: Kind of like reading the lost...

    Did a Little Relic Hunting Today

    Just got out for a couple of hours...to a POUNDED field that's been hunted by many folks for many years. At one time I used to dig 15 minnieballs there on my lunch hour. Not so any more, but to those with patience and a slow swing you can find a few deep targets that got away from everybody...

    First Visit To The Beach In What...About FIVE MONTHS???

    Man, I'm ready for tourist season to get underway. Took the Excal to the beach this morning to shake the bugs out. It still has "the goods"...it was pulling the stuff from down DEEP today. Had almost nothing but foot-deep targets where I was. Which wasn't the resort strip, I might add...

    My First Hammered Silver! Well, SORT Of...

    ...actually, I hammered it myself but hey, what the heck! :lol: Went out to an old school playground today. There were wheaties everywhere and a little silver. I don't know how many wheaties my buddy Jack dug but it was a bunch. I got a dozen of them and a 1955 Canuck dime. Also got two...

    Guns And Roses...

    Or should I say "Guns and ROSIES" :lol: Hit a couple of old heavily hammered spots today, seeing if I could coax a few more. Had a little success at each place. One was an old home site, one spot the woods, and one spot was a field. I got the silver at the old house (48 and 46 Rosie and 43...

    Just Had a Very Eye-Opening Experience With My Explorer II...Long, But Worth The Read.

    I posted this on the Explorer Classroom forum too, but I'm not sure if everybody checks both forums like I always do or not and I wanted to share it. :shrug: And that experience was right in my backyard! I have a test garden, running along the rear of my backyard in front of my privacy fence...
