Sanded in week on the Gulf of America

[tvr]

Was in Panama City Beach for a week. First day there they were dragging beach lounge chairs onto the beach stacked in piles with several rows of piled lounge chairs. They are preparing for a bigger crowd come spring break. Next day the chairs started to get buried in sand. By the end of the week there was six to ten inches of sand accumulated about half burying the bottom chair of each stack. Was windy enough the entire time that the waves the wind was whipping up were very prohibitive for this old guy to get in the water. Saw three kids in the water for a little while. Did not see anyone else detecting the entire week. Turned up just under $2 in clad and one plated ring (18k HGE) ... can see the plating flaking in some parts. Got some exercise and the sunset on the last day we were there was spectacular. Was using the Fisher Impulse AQ and it ran well, got hit with a bit of interference in front of one of the resort buildings; enough that I had to turn sensitivity down to 2 to quiet it.
Here are the junk ring and the sunset:

Hopefully your enjoying the trip anyway.
Maybe you could find the area the sand is being blown from.

we had a great trip. Had a cousin and her husband with us. They have been with us on the Gulf before but had never been to New Orleans so we did a three day trip to NOLA. We had a full week in Panama City Beach; not a lot of targets, and over about a two mile stretch of beach did not find much in the way of cuts, but a lot of soft deep new sand. Not seeing any other people metal detecting should have told me something too.

Sorry the detecting didn't play out.
Happy y'all had a great time.
Because of work demands I haven't had a pleasure vacation in many decades.

I'd Love to see you and anyone else post there fishing adventures.

I've never set foot in the ocean.
Let alone fish there.

Ever hook a big tuna ?
I've read they can be quite a handful.

Love to see crabbing and lobster catches.
