When I went out this morning I headed south. The weather was a little chilly but then it was still dark when I got there. I figure when the sun came up it would warm up. There were 4 other hunters there when I got there and it was still dark! They were all hunting the dry sand. I spoke to a couple of them for a short time. One said he had over 3 bucks but nothing else. The other said he only had junk. I wished them both good luck and headed for the water. I hunted for a couple of hours and then met up with KCbull10. Nice guy! Boy what a scoop that man has! Scoopzilla is the perfect name for it! I wished him well and then hunted for about a half hour more and then I had to warm up. I got nothing much there. A large sinker a couple of coins and some wire. Back to the car and some hot tea for me!

After I had warmed up some I decided to try further down the beach so off I went. Another hour of nothing I decided to have a talk with the surf gods..... I said please let me find a ring. I know you have lots of them out here and although I'd rather have gold at the moment - I'd take anything. Just give me a ring and I'll go home happy. Then.... I got a nice hit. It turned out to be a small ring. I was sure it was silver even though it was pretty black. The surf god had answered. He didn't see fit to share any more with me but I got a couple more coins and then nothing at all. I guess the surf god went back to his coffee break. ah well..... he did give me one so I'm happy. (till tomorrow) :wink:

Hi Mumszie,

Enjoyed meeting you, thanks for the info you brought for me. After you left well I didn't get out until 2 pm and my right arm was dragging. I found 2 identical challenge coins about 30 feet apart except one says 16 the other 18. The side with the # says Unity Service Recovery. One day at a time. Front says God Grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I think these are AA coins, don't know if it means 16 / 18 months or years! As you can see found a bunch of pull tabs and bottle caps, and a spark plug. This was my second hunt of the year. Sorry the pics are blurry trying a new flip camera

I've never found any of those coins but they hold wisdom and it even fits with what we do. It was great meeting up with you too. I hope to do it again some day but I don't go south very often. Who knows though.... I've been wrong before! :wink:
