I really started hunting in mid-October. So I am pretty pleased with the results for the year. A HUGE part of my success is due to the awesome knowledge sharing from the members here and in other forums. Thank you and happy hunting in 2017.

18 Gold rings, 8 Silver rings and 3 other silver items. A total of 3,615 targets dug in 164 hours of hunting with the CZ-21.

Photo of the items below as well as what it looks like in front of my apt. and has since mid-December. It looks like this about 18 hours a day right now so it is almost impossible to hunt. This isn't even the busiest part of the beach.

In about a week 90% of them will be gone and I'll be looking for the stuff they left. There is only really one maybe two others that hunt seriously here. 2017 should be a good year.

Cheers.

Great haul, Top; especially for such a short time. How crowded are the areas you are searching while you are searching, just out of curiosity?

Thanks.



Thanks Casper.

That's just sick... I just finished posting my year end finds, and I had 19 gold rings... I expect I dug in excess of 20,000 targets this year, probably closer to 30,000 with my rough calculations of finds per hour... Wow, I wish my gold percentages were like you folks on the beaches!

Looking forward to seeing what you post and find next year!

Woot!

Thanks Skippy. Wow, 20,000 targets. Ouch my arm aches thinking about it.

Wow!....what a great view, both the rings and the bench.... good luck in 2017!

Yeah, the view on Brazilian beaches is pretty awesome.

Well done Top. :notworthy: You've done alright for beginning in October. I wish you a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2017.

Thanks Terry.


Great haul, Top; especially for such a short time. How crowded are the areas you are searching while you are searching, just out of curiosity?

Well, I hunted during the lowest season more or less. There were a couple of holidays in there where things got a little crowded. Most of the days I had a fairly open beach up until about 11:00am. Most of the time I only have to watch out for runners/walkers. Brazilians seem to have a personal space and depth perception issue.

During this period of holidays as you can see it is impossible to swing a coil. Pretty from 6am to well after dark it is like this.

Wow! Can I come visit? :P

Sure, anytime. Here is a link to the map https://goo.gl/wE6iwY
