I'm back...big gold...big silver
low tide was at 635pm - got in at 500pm
wind had picked up - good size swells - didn't think it would be worth it to get in
boy was I wrong - told my gal - viz is gonna be bad and probably not gonna get as low as
its supposed to be with the rough water - I got in and went right out to chest deep and turned machine on...
right off the bat I got a loud blast - stuck my face in and was surprised the viz was not bad = 8 on scale of 10
I could see a brass lure sticking out and scooped it up - went about 5 feet ...nother blast ...scooped up
a pyramid sinker. Another 5 feet away ..got a faint signal = scooped down over a foot and came up with another lure.
few feet away...another faint reading. Took a deep scoop...still down there - another full scoop and I got it.
Looked in as sand is filtering thru - sun is low in the sky so little dark in my scoop...I see a dark object and think I
got some sort of sinker. Sand filters thru its holes and I think I have a huge silver ring...I was wrong... Huge 10k
signet - happy camper! Was only in maybe 10 mins. Blood is pumping now. I headed out farther. I found a few more
sinkers and then it got quiet - so I turned and headed back where I started. ..got a good signal - sounded like another sinker
and was surprised when I see large disc in my scoop and at first I thought it was some sort of tag or token because
it was not blackened or caked - but as I pulled it out I could see Liberty bell on it - My 11th half this year!
Got excited again. About 6 feet away I get a coin size signal and thinking maybe silver dime - heart sank when I saw in was
a penny - then perked up when I saw head on it had feathers - 1893 IH penny. Worked around and only got a few nickels more.
Then as sun was getting real low and my light was fading - I made for deeper water as low tide was approaching - didn't get anything
for a while and then got a signal that barely fluctuated my background hum. It sounded like a ghost. Fanned spot with boot
and finally got a faint signal. Fanned some more and rechecked in ID mode and got high pitch = which is good on the CZ. -
took 3 scoops to get it and was shocked to see huge caked silver ring - couldn't believe it. Checked all around the area...
real slow, but got nothing else there so with the sun just above the horizon - I turned and headed back whence I came.
I got into an area where I was getting all kinds of old lead. Then I got in spot where I was getting these lead seals
-lead rings down deep and they go off like silver coins do. They are around 6 inches to a foot down. I get another reading
in the area and think I got another - as I look in scoop I see glint of gold and at first I thought it was a shell, but
then saw class ring sitting in bottom of my scoop - Oh Yeah!
I also got 2 Washington silver quarters and a silver dime. Not bad for 1 1/2 hrs in - boy I wish I had a few more hours of
sunlight. Hopefully there's more out there for another day
