Took a little swisheroo today around the local Redneck Riviera. Good Lordy, but I love a pocket beach! Hal didnāt find much, so he was irked. He hit it big yesterday (and I mean bigā¦ a 14K mans band - about a size 15! It was huge!). But "the Sheriff" (his partner yesterday) wore old Hal out and he wasnt up to his usual treasure scoopin' self today - he got nut and was in a frenzy, passing to and fro hoping to snag something good. He did find a stainless steel "tribal" motif ring, though, which I thought was pretty cool
UNUSUAL DETECTOR:
My Tiger Shark is on the fritz and is going back to Tesoro, so I hadda improvise with my Golden. Not a water machine at all, I had to stay in the shallows with it and be careful. I double bagged it, wrapped all cables with tape and sealed the whole thing with the Tesoro dust cover. If it had a longer cable I would have hung it in a neck pouch. But man alive, how I wish they made that thing in a waterproof case! All the good features of a Tesoro, PLUS tone ID. I gotta get cooking on a waterproof AquaGolden. We were only there about 2.5 hours.
This is the stuff worth keeping.
Up top are three rings, two junk and the uppermost a little 10K with diamond and opal sporting the words āLOVEā across the center. A bunch of dangly, spangly earrings and hoops, which I dote on, and the usual assorted coinage rounded out the gleanings.
And of course, no detecting adventure would be complete without a pic of the junk to add that oh, so, important touch of realism.
That porcupine-looking thing in back is the catch magnet, which fell out of my scoop. It collected all the ferrous crap in my pocket and became encrusted with it. From now on I am going to keep one handy in my pouch for this reason. I hot-glued the magnet back in my scoop and Iām good to go again. Bobby pins, sinkers, bottle tops, foil bitsies, someones dental retainer - all the typical crapola was found.
Thanks for looking and Treasure To You.
