After working out and running 7 miles first thing this morning, I summoned some additional energy and motivation and hooked up with my friend Reid to give it a shot at a new, out-of-town swimming area. Things started out on the right track with 2 very thin rings showing up in my first scoop. Then after digging a quarter, my next 4 hits were all rings. That was a pretty amazing streak and definitely a first for me. Recovered 7 rings in all including a couple gold, a couple silver, and one of those heavy tungsten carbide wedding bands. Wrapped it up with a nice bangle plus a shark’s tooth necklace. So in spite of the heat and humidity it turned out to be quite an entertaining day.

If all that was entertaining...I don't want to know what you call "work"!
I wouldn't have been detecting in the water, I would have been trying to sleep!
Boy, the energizer Bunny doesn't have anything on you! You must be impervious to heat!

Nice bunch of rings and finds! ....now I need a nap!

Early morning is the only time to pound the pavement. That coastal heat and humidity are just insane during the rest of the day. Congrats on the rewarding water hunt--it looks like you had a blast.

Thanks George. Of course I'd rather be digging colonial coins, but guess this will have to do for now. How's your sifter coming?

Multiple anything in one scoop is good but multiple rings is dang impressive. Don't let the streak end, get back out there! Be careful of flesh eating bacteria though....
