Surfgod brings me Gold & Silver!

Hit the beach a couple hrs before low tide this a.m. Water was clear and it looked like I wouldn't have long to hunt. I could see a huge storm coming in from the ocean. After about 1 1/2 hrs I could start to hear thunder and saw some lightning.

I dug up quite a few pull tabs and some clad, then as the storm was moving in hit an area where there seemed to be some sand movement with some rocks exposed so I decided to hit it hard. About 15 min. into this area I got the nice gold tone on the Excal and pulled up a 18k wedding band. :D Inside was engraved 30-06-06, so it must have been a fresh drop. To bad the person only had it less than a month. 5 min. later I pulled up a heavy silver ring. .925 stamped inside and it's gotta weigh about an ounce. ;D

By that time the lifeguards had cleared the water and people were running to their cars. Lightning was getting really close and I didn't want to leave. I hit another signal, again the nice gold tone and was moving some rock and one of the lifeguards told me I
HAD to get outta the water. BUMMER!! >:( :( Definitly gonna try to get back again tomorrow or Sunday.

Thanks for looking!

LOL!! This is true! I'm petrified of lightning too. Saw a person get fried when I was a kid surfing. Still embedded in my mind.
