    Keeping Your Finger On The Pulse...

    ...of the storm. This is a cool site. If you haven't seen it, explore it and play with it a little. There is a lot of good info here. You have the option of zooming, adding clouds, adding the radar loop, etc. And you can track the distance from the storm center to the city of your choice...

    A Little Different Kind of Gold RIng

    I just now got around to photographing this ring I pulled in the wee-hour low tide last Sunday. It's marked 14K with "Pall" under it, which means that the gold rings within the ring are 14K and the silver ones are Palladium...which is currently at $443/oz, so not as valuable as gold at...

    It's Slow Going, But There ARE a Few Targets Out There...

    We are still seeing the biggest turndown in VB history in "target density", targets-per-hour, or however you want to say it...being able to walk a couple of BLOCKS in the surflane...in MID-JULY...without hitting a thing! Then, a target or two here and there, but nothing on a normal scale for...

    The Surf Lane Gives Up A Little...

    I didn't post my finds from my earlier hunts since Memorial Day, but there was a nice chain and a 9.5 gram 14K band. Other than that and a few silver rings, it's been brutal out there except for a few lucky hunters that have snagged the few nice targets out there. This is THE SLOWEST 4th of...

    Time To Cash Out The 2008 Season Goodies.

    Hey everybody. Been gone a while, pretty much because I don't do beach hunting in the winter. It's just not worth it here, particularly when they are constantly pumping, moving and replenishing sand onto the beach. So I start hunting on Memorial Day Wwekend every year and usually post soon...

    Metal Prices On The Way Up!

    If you've been holding onto your summer loot like me, platinum just broke $900 and gold is up sharply as well and moving towards $900. When it hits $1000 I'm ready to sell. :) I had a modest haul this year, but that would give me about $1700 and that works for me. [attachment 113902...

    Precious Metals Prices...

    Amazing, the decline of spot prices. Just 6 months ago gold was at $1000 an ounce, platinum at $2050 and silver at $18. Right now: [attachment 111390 Wow.jpg] I have faith that it will go up though. I'm certainly not sending mine in until it does! :nono:

    First Land Find WIth SEF 10 x12

    No detecting today for me...had an all day group motorcylce ride that was planned for a while. So I wanted to get out yesterday and try a quick land hunt with the GT and the SEF 10 x 12. The weather called for rain but I had a brief window of opportunity, so I went out to an old house site...

    Not A Bad Hunt Last Night...Only ONE Other Hunter Out There That I Saw...

    ...Mr. Anthony out there testing his brand new E-TRAC, spending a little too much time in the water if you ask me. ;) Watch out you don't end up with a $1400 paperweight! I wound up with gold, silver, trash, and many coins. My back is sore this morning! Please see post over at the BS forum...

    First Outing With The SEF Coil On My GT...WOOT!

    Got my new SEF 10x12 coil yesterday from KellyCo...thanks JW! Took it out to the beach last night to try it out, not expecting much due to recent conditions. Got there at 10:15 for the 11:15 low tide, hunted for about 3 hours or so. The beach has been heavily sanded in for a while now, since...

    Another Trip To The Lane and Gold was In The Cards AGAIN!

    Gold and ICE, I might add. We hit the "wet spot" at 4:30 this morning for a 6:30 low tide. The "clad count" was down from the last 3 low tides, but the "quality count" was high. WE wound up swinging for SIX HOURS (!!!) and I feel like I just did 15 rounds with Mike Tyson...except my EAR is...

    The Ocean Taketh Away and The Ocean Giveth Back! :)

    Hit the lane for low tide today and it was VERY rough, windy, strong incoming surf, and LOTS of uncovered black sand. Oh, and TARGETS GALORE! I dug an insane amount of clad...total of 35 quarters, 39 nickels, 48 dimes, and about 60 pennies. It was almost all green and crusty...been down...

    Hotties From Main, Revisited...The Pictures Came! :super:

    Note: OK, if you missed the story of the 3 girls from Maine who approached me a few weekends ago and begged me to find their lost Toyota Celica key (in the crashing surf!!!), then read the story below...I copied it from the original post. If you DID already see it, fast-forward to the pictures...

    Well, My "Dry Spell" Is Broken!

    Snagged a couple of "keepers" today...been without gold now for like 3 hunts! Today me and my buddy Karl hit the lane for about 4+ hours from like 5AM to about 9 or 10. Not many targets, but did manage a few bucks in clad and I got a nice FAT (14.5 grams) 14K class ring and another 10K...

    A Belated Story, But Certainly Worthy Of Telling...

    Something happened the week before last that I was going to post here but was waiting for some pictures to go with it. The pictures bever materialized, so here is the story. I was hunting the beach the weekend before last with my buddy Karl, AKA "Meander" from the forum. "JT in Virginia" was...

    Thanks For The Memories...

    Or should I say "The MEMORY". Let me explain... I have found two nice looking cell phones recently...both in a foot or two of water, and both buried at least 6 inches or more in the sand. One was a nice text-messaging friendly Samsung and the other a Blackberry. Both had cameras. Both had...

    Working On The Chain Gang...

    Well, I got SKUNKED last night. But buddy Karl hit it big, with (despite the overall lack of targets) FIVE RINGS! Hopefully he will post those for us later. Me, I have to go back to Saturday morning to post something worthy. I hit two nice silver chains...one of them a basic silver chain of...

    Bertha DID Produce SOME Movement Here...

    ...not as much as I would have liked, but just enough! I took a chance and headed for the surf lane last night and arrived at about 11. Low tide was at 1:20, but having to get up at 6:30 this morning, I would have to leave no later than that to come back. And yes, I AM tired, but I got 4...

    What Good Is A PIRATE Without Pirate SOFTWARE???

    And I don't mean PIRATED software...I mean software for PIRATES! :lol: Let me explain. I was talking to my friend (and boss) Dave at work and telling him about gold finds, Midwest Refinery, melt value...stuff like that. I was saying how I figured up what I have so far this season to be...
