Hooked up with a forum friend that Ive known for yrs and hunted with last year.
Trip was already arranged before Florence was on her way - so I had to take
what I could get - water was way to rough to get in at most of the beaches - I
did manage to get in at one spot that was sheltered but small and trashy and
a ocean spot where at low tide a sand bar cut the waves down enough that I could
bare getting in without getting slammed to much. I'm a water guy - and not
fond of wet sand hunting much and definitely not into dry sand hunting but
I had to do what I had to do. I got some junk jewelry in the surf - one silver
earing in the water - got a gold in the wet sand and right before coming home
I was heading to my GF after hitting the wet sand at one spot and just swinging
wildly over the dry sand getting ready to leave when I got a good hit and scooped
up a quarter that looked like it had been there a little while - so I swung around that area
and got a few more coins - gal was like 20 yrds away and I told her I was getting coins
so I was going to play around a little more. I was getting a fair amount of coins - lot
of dimes and some were discolored so I figured it had been a little while since
others probably hit there. I then got a nice solid positive reading - sounded better than a quarter
- I swept at the spot with my dive boot and saw what looked like a silver ring - gave it
a scoop and was surprised when I saw a class ring. Was hoping for white gold but its 925...
doesn't matter cause I try and return them whatever they are made of ... but everyone is
more impressed with the gold. I called my GF over and said "Guess what I just found"
and placed it in her hand - the day before I told her I thought I would find a class ring.
She then walked with me for awhile more - I got a huge blast and told her "this is either
a can buried down or a large kids toy" I swept with my foot a few times and then gave a
scoop. I hit something and gave a again swept with my boot. I saw powder blue and
told her - "I think its a car" - she pulled it out (the car that is
) - its was large VW bug.
I filled the hole and then said "I wonder if there is more?" I went over again and got a
few more deeper signals and ended up pulling out 4 more cars. Little while later
- even though I was still getting coins - we had to pack it in - had a 5 hr drive back home.
Before we left - she hit the ladies room and I just looked out over the beach. There was
a woman on a blanket knitting while her 3 yr old played on a slide near by. I looked over at him
and he smiled at me so I waved and he waved back. He walked over to his mother and
then told her I guess that I waved at him - he waved again and I returned one. My gal
came out of the restroom and I told her I was gonna give him the cars I had found
she wanted the VW ..don't ask me why - so I gave him the other 4. There was a beach
shower right there and I rinsed them off and asked his mother if it was okay and told
her I had just found them down the beach - he was excited to get them.
The day I got the gold ring - shortly after
a father with his 3 yr old son were playing near the surf - the boy started to fuss and
father said "i guess youre all done" Just then I had scooped up a Thomas the steam engine
toy - it was like new. I asked the father if I could give it to him and the father said
"Hey - look what he's got for you" and I handed it to his son - he smiled ear to ear
and then turned and ran towards his mom waving it in the air. Now all I have to
do is return the class ring for a trifecta
