    From 2014 [attachment 333448 SoundView2014.png] Yesterday I encountered a friend who said she had wanted to send me this pic for a long time and here it is for one and all to see what winter on the Connecticut Shore looks like.

    For the first time since I got it in September of 2009 my Dear Friend "Mr. Dual Field" is inoperative!!! A neighbor called asking if I would search for his lost wedding band in the waters of a nearby state beach and when I placed fully charged batteries in my favorite PI nothing but silence in...

    :usaflag:Whatzis? :detecting:

    Water hunting yesterday I recovered this heavy bronze thing that would appear to be attached to a pole/handle with some sort of device suspended between it's arms. The 10"+ spread of the arms might allow a scoop of some sort to be attached. [attachment 326465 DSCF4935.JPG] Wire brushed the...

    :usaflag:Second gold for 2016 :detecting:

    Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter had an interesting 2 hours "out there" today! I barely got my boots wet in the 40F water when the ground swells started outa the south east. Had to hunt with one eye on the incoming watching for anything that could knock me off my feet. I was lifted a...

    :usaflag:First water hunt of 2016=very little silver and a little more gold!!

    Yesterday I chatted with my Friend Frank and he assured me that a small spot (where he was hunting at the time we spoke) has cleared away enough sand to offer at least some hunting for a change. This AM as I enjoyed my usual morning coffee down by the water I checked the spot from a distance...

    :usaflag:Lousy weather hunt(inside outa the wind and rain!!):detecting:

    When I recover targets I take them home, count the total and enter the number in my diary. Then a quick look to determine which are keepers usually saving the "final inspection" for lousy weather. The accumulation was about a 5 gallon pail full of odds and ends of metal that were all jumbled...

    :usaflag: Late afternoon hunt=4 interesting finds :detecting:

    It was getting late in the day when Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I waded out for a 1.5 hour hunt beginning at 3PM and ending as the light faded after sundown. This big ring was recovered in waist deep water after I chased it down from about a foot depth to over two feet down between some very...

    :usaflag: Reached milestone # 50 :detecting:

    Yesterday AM I managed a two hour water hunt at a small local beach community and recovered as my second target a 9.49 Gram platinum wedding band about 15' from the edge of the water. I must say I was considering keeping the $331.00 worth of precious metal, but I was sure the person who lost...

    :usaflag: Boxing Day Gold:detecting:

    As Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I eased into the early morning, cold waters of Long Island Sound this AM I wasn't very sure that the deeper sand might give way to thinner areas, but I wanted to scout the spot a bit just in case. Five minutes in I recovered a small bit of rusty metal only 1/2...

    :usaflag:Old Gold, but I'll take it!!:detecting:

    Caught a little slack in my schedule and decided to have a go at a local beach so close to the train tracks that it is a challenge to use a PI there. Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter managed to do OK for 2.5 hours when the incoming tide started to threaten my waders telling me to go...

    :usaflag: Another Gold First For This Old Hunter!!!:detecting:

    About an hour before dead low tide Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and I headed out into Long Island Sound at a local beach. The water was calm, the wind out of the west/south west, was a gentle breeze. I told my Pal Frank how the waves had been breaking closer to the water's edge recently and how I had...

    :usaflag: Tiny Surprise!!:detecting:

    Using a floating sifter enables careful inspection of the material Diablo scoops into it. I didn't have my camera with me so you'll just have to imagine what I saw among the stones/sand along with the piece of copper tubing I dug up. A tiny bracelet/anklet? of .3 Gr. of Italian 14K worth about...

    :usaflag:3rd gold, first 14K for this year:detecting:

    11/2 hours into a 4 hour hunt and the south west wind was creating some annoying wave action. At a little less than one hour I had this 11.2 Gram, 14K bracelet in my pouch and was excited about the possibilities awaiting Mr. Dual Field, Diablo and this Old Hunter among the stones I was walking...

    Ace 250, 5 Minutes, Lost wedding ring found!!!

    Clearing up some "Honey Do's" this AM I saw a fellow headed toward me from the front drive and asked him if I could help him. He asked if I was Lew, the guy with a metal detector. In the following conversation I learned his son-in-law had lost his wedding band in his side yard and could I help...

    :usaflag: Surprises just keep coming!!:detecting:

    Yesterday I managed a 3 hour hunt that didn't produce any amazing finds, but did cause me to wonder how some things just fall into place. 47 Targets recovered in 3 hours is not a bad average in the spot where I was hunting and the finds were about average too. [attachment 290760...
