Years of research, months of exploring several miles of beach so I'd know exactly what to expect at each of my targeted areas, the winds and ocean conditions dictating these hunts. In the meantime as I prepared for those favorable winter currents I remained busy setting myself with the most versatile hunting machine I could manage, a pull behind cart and even a small backpack ready to be employed when circumstances required it. These hunts were all that I have been waiting for, all winter I have waited for them, and yet winter has simply let me down this year, those steady winds and currents never arriving long enough to get the job done. BUMMER! BUMMER! BUMMER! :BangHead:

BS: A plan only prepares you for a situation, it does not control it.
While an unaimed arrow never misses its target!

You would be much better off going with the flow
Mo betta "Chill Out and Hang Loose".

If the gold is lost and isn't found, then the hunt will be that much more exciting after the next big blows...... Happy Hunting whenever you get the chance to hunt. Beach papa

I dear hunt......"un-aimed arrows always miss their mark." :laughing7: "Going with the flow" is great,....as long as it's flowing the right direction. :laughing7:
Been "chilling out and hanging loose" all winter......relaxing and carefree for sure, but not very inspiring or productive. :BangHead:

I feel you pain, things aren't exactly the way we wanted this Winter either. I hit three different beaches today and all were sanded in.

I was out this past weekend. A lot of sand moved but all I found was a modern penny and a bright shiny nickel another MD'er apparently had just lost lying next to an unfilled dig hole. Fill the holes! No good stuff anywhere on the beach.
