Finally able to find some time to get out on sunday - waters are getting real cold
my wet suit set up kept my body warm but I dont like wearing a hood and was tough to
keep my face with mask in the water - had to stand up and let it thaw in the sun now and then
and when I went out to my limits - now and then I'd catch a swell that was over my head and it would
run down my back into my suit and give me a shock but i prevailed
Got into first spot about 1 1/2 hrs before low tide - was slow going - I had 3 old time bathing cap snap pieces
after the first 1/2 hr and a few pieces of junk ( those brass snaps are a good sign though)
finally I got a mercury dime and old spoon then a silver religious medal - caked
Close to low tide - I went out as far as I could - I got a nice signal in a sandy spot - scooped - looked down and all i could see in te bottom
of my scoop was a huge Quahog clam - I pulled it out and was surprised to see gold sitting under it
I gave it a quick look and placed it in my pouch - i got my one and was happy
finds were far and few between - i tried left - right - deep - shallow trying to find a spot with targets
-I did come up with a huge old junk signet - i was hpoing it was discolor 10k but no - brass
tide was coming in - Iwas getting slightly chilled so I headed in to waist deep where i could
get warmed up - I got a few signals near a huge rock - I thought they might be sinkers
I dug down and hit rocks - I fanned with my boot and tried clearing some of the larger ones
I scooped and came up with an old bathing suit buckle - rechecked and got another good signal - dug thru the rocks and came
up with another brass bathing suit buckle - (always a good sign ) - moved a little ways away - got another good signal
scooped and got yet another brass suit buckle . Started working around that spot better. i got a faint signal
I fanned down about a foot and rechecked - signal sounded real good ,but thought it might be a sinker - especially when
I tried scooping and hit a rock bed - i fanned and could see 3 good size rocks - i got my toe under one and lifted it out of the whole
then fanned some more - looked down and just saw rock after rock - tried to scoop but lip kept slipping off the rocks
I fanned again hard and blew some rocks and material out and moved one of the other big rocks - I just kept thinking
"I/m busting my butt for a sinker" - I was about 1 1/2 feet down - i gave it one more scoop but could only get a little bit of material into my scoop
I rechecked and to my surprise i had target in my scoop - was more surprised when I looked in and saw old gold signet in the bottom.
i worked around a little more - got old fork down just as deep and in deep rock bed too .
My girlfriend came out and waved to me - told to come and get me so i could drive to another spot before sunset .
didnt get a ton of targets - i believe there are more gold out in deep water and possibly more down deep in the shallows - I will return here.
first ring turned out to be a cool looking 1931 class ring
other old gold signet - really worn
I drove to the next spot to hit for a few hours before sunset - once again finds were slow
I headed out far - I was about 100 yrds from shore - i had gotten a few gold rings and some silver coins out there before
i moved to an area where i got gold seal ring in Oct. when i got sick in the water
I hit a few sinkers - good sign i had not gone over that spot
I got a faint signal and scooped down and got a crusty silver quarter - then nothing for a while
then I hit a spot that had some large encrusted iron objects - to big to carry in - then I got one I was able to pick up - was about the size of my hand
Close by I got another large signal - I checked it in ID mode expecting to get an iron tone but was surpised to get
a high tone which is good on the CZ21- scooped and was surprised to see large encrusted disc in my scoop - a silver half!
did not get much after that - sun was setting - hit a small blown out area that i got 4 wheat pennies in - thought I might
be in a hot spot - but nothing else was around it - I still think there is more goodies out there too - I will return
still a couple of gold early and some silver to end the day - i was happy
oh yea - found this huge crank out at 2nd spot too - way out - dont know if it to a sail boat or
down rigger or what - has LEWMAR stamped into it - was cover with shells and barnicles when I pulled it up
