Back from the Beach

[Confetrit]

My wife, our daughter and myself made it back today from Tybee Island beach. This was our first actual beach hunt. While we didn't find a lot, we had a great time. My wife and her Garrett Ace 350 about out did me and the Minelab Safari. She found 2 pair of sunglasses, 1 pair was what looked to be a recently new pair of Ray ban Aviator sunglasses in excellent shape. I couldn't believe they weren't damaged. My wife said that they were buried about 6 inches down in the sand. I found a nice ladies pinky ring that matched a bracelet that my wife has. Guess where this ring is now. I found a piece that I have not yet identified. The piece almost looks like a coin inset in some sort of setting. I have this piece soaking now. It was found about 8 inches down in the sand. We found a lot of coins, (none old), a lot of tent stakes, and a couple of pieces of costume jewelry. We both enjoyed beach hunting. It is a lot different from relic hunting in heavy brush and woods, and digging in our lovely red clay here in Georgia.

Raybans are neat finds and work some coin. Found a brand new pair on a park bench. Love them. Yeah, love our red clay, rocks, roots, snakes, mosquitos, poison ivy and other such stuff when relic hunting. Atlanta.

A good time with the family is worth all the gold in the beach.

It certainly was. We had a great time.

Glad you had a great time. For us landlubbers, beach hunting for a few days is a nice change of pace. My clay over on this end of the state isn't red, but is now dry as a bone. HH jim tn

Our red clay here in Georgia is red and hard like concrete during our summer months. Beach hunting was a very nice change and break. No hills, no briars and tanglefoot, no ticks and no shoulders, and very easy digging. This was so nice on the hands and shoulders. My wife is now wanting a beach detector.
