Went out last weekend to deliver a SeaHunter to a friend who is interested in getting into the hobby. Plans were made to meet up Sat. morning and lend it to him. Anyways decided to meet at an area that I have tried in the past with no luck other that a couple of coins and pulltabs. After getting down to the beach and noticing 6-8ft of sand missing to the right, a big depression about 250ft. by 75ft. so down we went. There were targets every 18" or so I was stoked . My wife and I realized we were digging consecutively for about 4hrs before we took a break.

Totals were over $13 in coins 3 buffalo nickels, 4 wheat pennies, 3 coins of unknown origin (researching) 3 pairs of sunglasses, 2 zippo lighters, about 7-8 pounds of fishing weights.

Good stuff
4 rings 3 are 14k gold 24g total and a tungsten that was broken, 1 10k gold earing, 1 silver .925 earing, 1 silver .925 bracelet @ 56g.


This is the LARGEST haul we have ever had at on time UNBELIEVEABLE !!! I had to go back to the truck to empty my pockets because they were full and the weight kept pulling my suit down. May everyone find a hole like this one day, it strengthens the belief in Hunting .

I needed a good hit like this it brings the hunting spirit back, I was getting discouraged lately. I haven't found anything good since last December and the wife has gotten 7 rings a bracelet so on , just wiping the floor with me lately. Two of the man gold rings were me and all the silver I WON on this outing with 75% of the finds.

News reported last Tuesday from Vilano to south PonteVedra is in an emergency status that the beach front homes all have a 12ft drop in their back yards 10-12ft from their homes.

State: South Ponte Vedra Beach is 'critically eroded'

I'm sorry!! But you gotta be nuts to think you can win against Ma ocean. There should never have been any building beachside of the highways in the state.

They keep "replenishing" the beaches here, this time of year.
I'm hoping that the "fill" is from a gold bearing region somewhere! :laughing7:
That would only be fair!:goldpan: or perhaps from the oceans depths :treasurechest:

Hope all the swimmers at the river reseed the swim park this Memorial Day for me. I need some gold and silver jewelry.
