It was soooooo hot out there this afternoon..went under the pier for shade...& silver

Hi,:hello:

Wow! These past few days have been challenging for beach hunting...low to mid 90's.

Yesterday hunted the wet and dry sand..too late of low tide.
.
Today , at late afternoon low tide it was still very sunny and hot so I left the "muddy flats" where I was finding very little ,and headed to the pier for some shade.

Started finding sinkers and coins..then picked out a small, pretty silver ring directly under the end of the pier...that saved the day.

Here's some pics

Thanks for looking

Looks like it was worth braving the heat. I would have gladly traded you. A balmy 66-degs today, mostly rain, with a low tonight of 47-deg. However, tomorrow is suppose to resemble summer and be in the mid-70's, so you can bet 0700 and I'll be at the park:icon_thumleft:

I like it! Congrats! :hello2::hello2::hello2:

For me...just getting out and detecting Saves The Day ... but of course the occasional silver or gold doesn't hurt!

Nice silver ring, I beat the heat by getting in the water up to my neck, then hunt. That is where all the swimmers are lately.

I wish I was more comfortable in deeper water, Les...then I'd be out there, too.

But I am afraid of water past my waist ( can't swim well ) ...and so I stay mostly toward shore line.
