Hit the beach early this morning. A lot of wave action when we arrived but we did manage to detect in deeper water without being knocked around and found some coins.. After about an hour the wave sizes started increasing to between 3 to 5 ft. Guess we were gluttons for punishment and stayed 4 hrs. I found a nice 3.1gr. 18kt. gold initial ring and had almost given up on digging it.

You deserve that one Les...I was looking at some of the west coast web cams and said it was too rough to hunt.
