Now I’m depressed. They have just closed all beaches in Florida to traffic and that includes Metal Detectorists. I was interviewed by the New York Times as I was finishing up a water hunt at Clearwater beach and asked, basically, why an old guy like me was among all the Millennials partying on the beach. Wasn’t I concerned about the Corona virus? Sure I am, but I’m a metal detectorist and this is what I do in the water away from the maddening crowds. Enough said.
I was able to go on a nice productive hunt yesterday before beach closing with my Equinox 800 and here are some of my recent dry sand finds;
This is my first really nice and heavy 10K 9” gold bracelet (15.77g) in a long while. Dry sand find a few days ago.
Yesterday also snagged this nice 10K gold ring with clear stone in the shape of a heart (shucks, stone doesn’t test as diamond).
Funny how these things come in pairs; also found this costume ring w center clear stone also shaped as a heart.
Also found a sterling 925 loop ear ring and junk child’s bracelet yesterday just before beach closing.
Hit the water the day before and had a nice time. Snagged two sterling 925 rings; a few hrs apart.
Always love to find gold and this 10K woman’s class ring (4.75g) sure wasn’t a disappointment. My second class ring for the season. Going to try to track down the owner — give me something to do while in quarantine.
Wife loves this sterling 925 ring (7.49g) from Isreal; unfortunately, it has a missing stone. We were looking for a replacement, locally, when the Covid-19 virus hit and have delayed any further action until
I don’t find watches very often and I’m always pleased to find one in the scoop. This Pulsar date watch isn’t much to look at but it was still ticking when I found it in 3 ft of water. I’ll designate it as my MDing watch.
At the beginning of the year, found this really nice white gold diamond ring (14K, 0.6 ctw); a wife keeper. Never had a chance to publish it.

Have a new story to tell when asked what I find on the beach. Found this 4” hook with a 12’ metal leader in 2 ft of water at CWB. Imagine the damage it would have caused if someone stepped on it! Saved by a Metal Detectorist, again. Happy Hunting.
