    Well, I'M Done! No More "Yesterday's Technology" For Me. UPS Man Left Me A Box Today And I'm Heading For The Beach...Don't Get In My Way!

    Because you might get run over, baby! No detecting tonight...time to enjoy my OTHER passion. My old gear blew out on me last weekend after MANY hours of hard use. HH!

    Thanks To "therick" For Pointing Out My Mistaken Identity Of My Gold Chain

    I had made the statement that it's "14K, marked 750" when in fact, 585 is the European marking for 14K and 750 denotes 18K. Which I knew, but I guess I wasn't thinking too clear at 4 AM. :) Anyway, here's a link to a chart I posted before that tells that...

    It Just Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!

    Just yesterday I said right here "I have two things on my wish list for this summer." One was to find another killer diamond ring for my wife like I did last summer. The other was for a nice gold chain for me. Well last night I crossed the chain off the list! And I couldn't have found a...

    Decided Not To Go Hunt Last Night Due To Storms, But...

    ...the sea was calling me. And my Excalibur. After all, it's waterproof...what's a little rain? Well, it was a LOT of rain and some lightning. And I ended up getting soaked and nearly drying out again before it was over. But the targets were many and the digging endless. I wound up hunting...

    Max...BUDDY...Help Me Out...These Darn Rings Are Dragging Down My Clad Count!!! :lol:

    Well, actually, I think I dug more clad this AM than I remember digging in a long time...like 137 targets in 4 hours! And that includes 4 rings, 5 pull tabs, 26 quarters, 27 dimes, 11 nickels, and 64 pennies. I hit the low tide from 3 to 7 am. Only ran into Big Dave (who had a nice ladies...

    I Had A Decent Night Too...Silver, Gold, and Diamonds!

    Hit the low tide in the surflane from 2am to 6am. Targets aplenty and quite a few DEEPIES...20 quarters, one of them a 1969. Also a few pieces of junk jewelry and a not-silver ring. Then the silver ring with small diamond chips...probably real...very small. And then the find of the day for...

    Virginia Beach Fishing Pier...

    ...and a "killer app" for your PC. The folks at Google have, available for free, the "Google Earth" program. It's pretty cool. You can "travel" anyplace, live via sattellite, and get real-time close-up of the spot as well as a lot more. I just downloaded it and installed it and was goofing...

    Well Guys, I Hate To Be "Negative" But...

    Looks like we're heading for a negative low tide... :D

    Another Pic Of The Ring From Last Night...

    ...with a little help from my buddy Ben Grimm! There are a number of little diamond chips in it but to be honest, they're so small that when I try to count them (even with my loupe) my eyes play tricks on me. Suffice to say, it's not a show-stopper, but it is a 10K diamond ring. I'll defer...

    Lord Of The Rings

    Heh, heh...not ME...the MOVIE. I got another one of those "Lord Of The Rings" rings tonight, like the one I got a couple weekends ago. So now I have a matched set. I hit the surflane for a little over 2 hours tonight. Also got the 10K ring and the butterfly pendant. They'll do.

    Lord Of The Rings

    Heh...not ME...the MOVIE. I got another one of those "Lord of The Rings" rings tonight...with the "Elfin" writing in it. Went out for a couple of hours around the 10:30 low tide. Fair target count...got the "Lords" ring and also the 10K ring and butterfly pendant. It'll do.

    Explorer II Bags A Couple Of Silvers

    Same old story..."hunted out site", tweaked up Minelab machine + a little patience = $ilver :super: I hit an old favorite spot today, for a short hunt. Actually, lightning and a sudden shower shut me down after an hour. But it was enough to pull a nice Merc, a no-date Standing Liberty...

    Night Hunting...The Perfect Night Lite??? Look!

    I had a nice LED headlight that I lost maybe a month ago...I think I left it on top of my truck and drove off maybe. So being that VB is pretty well lit from the hotels, it's not TOO dark down by the water. So I've been hunting for a few weeks without one. But last night I decided I really do...

    Finn55Cats Hits A Nice Gold Ring

    Ina got this nice gold ring this weekend at Virginia Beach, using her Quattro...which she calls the Blue Beast...in case anybody missed it over on the Beach and Water forum. It's a nice chunk of gold.

    Hey, Look At Finn55Cats Diamond Ring!

    Ina is here at work with me and we just took a picture of her ring. It's two-tone 10K gold, hefty little sucker! Way to go, Ina! :super:

    Well, Another Weekend Is "Water Under The Coil" Now :shrug:

    And yet another weekend with gold AND silver, so no complaining here! Hit the 5 AM low tide from 3:30 to 6:30...not as many targets as I got yesterday morning, but enough to keep my Excalibur singing. There is a tiny diamond in the center of the rose in the silver ring. I suppose it's...

    Skunked!

    Well, for jewelry anyway. Did get a decent amount of clad, so not empty handed. I hit the low tide for about 3 hours. The two most interesting things were that the skull absolutely sounded like gold when I was digging it...I was already trying to figure out how many grams of 14K it would...
