Well headed out to a beautiful high 40's day at the beach in February..Couldn't really ask for a much nicer day, as no jacket or gloves were needed..
I was pretty optimistic that today would be the day that after hundreds of targets recovered that some yellow may appear in one of the many holes...

Well unfortunately I don't hunt the Golden shores of Conn, Morocco, Japan, So Cal, East & West Fla, Australia (did I leave any gold rich areas out ?)...

All I can do is keeping paying my dues and getting some hard core exercise..

The conditons by the water are pitiful right now, so once again I made the best of the high tide line and above...

I finally managed to find some jewelry if you want to call it that :(

Totals for the day:

$2.97 in Clad ..maybe one wheatie, but nothing else old

1- Jumbo Ornate Cross...very nice looking, but nothing of any great value

1- Bling Earring ...very nice looking, but more junkola

1- Broken piece of .925 Jewelry..of course the tiniest piece of the day

1- broken wing...I'll assume junk

1- Rem-UMC Headstamp

A pretty big pile of metallic human waste for the trash pile

I have to admit for the first time in quite awhile that I am a little disappointed that nothing of any real quality has appeared after all of these recoveries over the past week... All I can do is keep swinging and get back out there tomorrow...

I will continue on by gridding the next 3 block area tomorrow...Once I'm finished the stretch, I think I'll head south to the wealthier communities and try my luck there..

Good Luck to you all & Happy Hunting !! :icon_thumleft:

Yep, that looks about like 4 hours of hunting stuffs, to me! :laughing7:
You'll get da gold next time!

All them old and junk crosses you find, you can make a nice picture with them. I saw one for sell somewhere.
Take an open frame, chose a back color, and arrange the crosses all inside the frame, hanging. The differences and different sizes make a nice assymetrical affect. The one I sawed before was really nice.

Thanks guys !!

I guess I was just tired and cranky late yesterday when I posted my finds ..
In actuality it was a pretty darn good hunt considering what everybody else is currently digging in my area..
Today is a brand new day and I feel ready to go again ..

Great hunt, but I would double check that cross, looks silver from the photo's. It might turn out be a better hunt yet.

Cheers
