Hit three different places today and was on my way to striking out for the day. It was mostly junk, a few coins and pull tabs, nothing real old. I saw Max, Denny and Low Tide Tim out there but they were in the same boat. Moved on to another location and figured this was it, if nothing here then it would be time to go home. I ended up staying for a few hours and ended up having a pretty good hunt, not say Mark Slinkman or OBN good but good enough for the conditions we are having right now.....Started off hot and taper off.....first tgt was Gold Ring #17, little 10K 1 gram ring with stones, tiny but cool looking. Class ring was next and it sounded good but looked like crap...it is...Marked "CE BAL" which I believe is the company Balfour and the metal ...Celestrium. I'll see about finding the owner but it's in rough shape, they may not want it. Last ring was a small junk toe ring that was once gold plated or painted. I also pulled out a complete Penn rod and reel! It is in great shape, looks like it's only been in there a day or two at worst. Reel alone is like $60 at Walmart. Hope you all are doing well wherever you are, been a bit of a grind here finding stuff.

I'll post a few picts at the end of some of the other recent hunts but only one had a good find, a Rev War pewter navy button. Cleaning it now to see which country it's from. I also had a heart breaker hunt with a nitro ring that I knew was too good to be true.....

That is a whole lot of targets. At least one gold found its way into your scoop. Congrats.

One small question, your heading says silver, I don't see it or see you mentioned it in your write up? Is it hiding?

You are right, I had some issues uploading photos so some got missed for some reason. Here are a couple I can try again:

There were more but the site only let me upload these two. Must have reached a limit.

Really nice finds congrats. The treasure coast is sanded in. I wish we had that many targets. We need some good waves to shake things up here.
