I hit the flats at low tide hoping for gold I soon found a silver ring which was encouraging but struck out on gold. Hunted with a level of detail which was higher than the area deserved based on my prior hunts in the same spot. No shortage of fishing lead and other trash but probably only a dollar fifty on coin. I did manage a silver Roosevelt dime near the end of my hunt. I also got a large Hopkins jig. I think it's my 6th Hopkins this year.

At least you managed some silver for your efforts and you can probably recycle the lead sinkers at the end of the season for a bit of coffee money.
