After having found those 2 gold rings a few days ago, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to be found out at Araha beach. And since Jim and I hunted it on Sunday night, that meant that whatever got lost over Memorial Day probably hasn't been found. But there ARE other detectorists that pound this beach, so I didn't have my hopes up too high when I loaded the Excal in the car and took off at 9:30pm tonight.
I arrived at the beach and was in the sand promptly at 10pm. Having watched the tide charts, I knew that the cut that was made in the beach from the typhoon on Saturday should still be there, and I was right. However... they were stomped down over Memorial Day in some areas.
I find a few bottle caps right away, and found myself hunting the same high tide line that I hunted just a couple of days ago. It didn't take long to find my first good target... and it was right on top of the ground.
Surprisingly, it was complete and unbroken and on closer inspection, it's stamped 925. Too bad that HUGE diamond isn't real
I move back into the swimming area and start to work the stomped down cut... hoping to find some kid's soda money or something worthwhile. It didn't take too long either, because as I was nearing one end of the swimming area, I got a good solid tone right near the jelly fish net.
I was shocked at how clean the swimming area was, having only found a few game tokens pretty deep... and no clad. If it wasn't for that gold ring hiding real well, I doubt I would have come away with anything valuable. I honestly think that someone else hit that swimming area that night. But at least they left me something golden
So here's the take for a 2 hour hunt
722 Yen (about $9 US) and .40 cents.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my goodies. I hope your hunt goes just as well as mine has. I hope that everyone finds gold in their scoop
