On the Forum at 4, on the beach at 4:30...F70 set up 1disc, 75 sens, -3 thresh, DP tones...The F70 is one super fast sand rail! Comfortable, accurate.
Big lightening storm coming across the Lake, the detector flashes a ping to the beat of the lightening, it sounds like a Q, which slows a guy down somewhat, but at least serves as an 'early warning system' of sorts...the proportional audio the F70 has also works for lightening.. A guy can tell if its time to go if those pings get louder!
Anyway, somebody swept the place clean late last evening...main area devoid of even a pulltab...got off to the side and started hitting coins and stuff, a guy can tell when he's in some paydirt by the amount of foil signals left......hit this big ring in the darkness, right where one should be at the towel line! It sounded right on tones, and made a big noise clanking around as I shook the scoop. Felt its weight, Heavy! Due to the weight, definitely not Stainless, Titanium or Cobalt, due to the tone, definitely not Silver, Copper or Chrome!
My hopes were high for a big Gold or Plat! For I am certainly WAY overdue this year....I dont hunt with any light, so I scraped my finger nail around in the inside to feel for a hallmark, and there was one! Big Ring, and it fit! I put it on and kept swinging....
I covered a lot of sand, cutting a 12' swath down and back a few times...scarfed up 4 empty cans along the way.. ...The storm seemed to be heading straight North, lightening pings fading...not coming onshore yet...I was worn out and sweating heavily so I left when it got a bit light out.. home by 6am, .."Tungsten China" is what the hallmark read!..
..I wonder what the guy paid for it?....Now the Storm is hitting! Raining to be danged..so I got my hunt in at least..
Mud
