Spent the week with the family at Emerald Isle and got in quite a bit of detecting .
This was my first try at beach detecting and I learned quite a bit . I used my Etrac and a modified feed scoop that I drilled holes in . My wish list now includes a long handled sand scoop and a water machine. My arm is still throbbing from digging with that scoop .

My son and I ended up finding $18 in change , 4 rings (two 10 K gold , one silver , one SS) , sunglasses, belly button ring and lots and lots of pull tabs and junk.
These were the first rings I ever found and I was pretty excited but not as excited as my 8 year old son who danced around and screamed gold and then in case no one understood him spelled out G O L D at the top of his lungs. Had to caution him to be a little more low key next time lol . No big money finds but I was very happy and had a great time . I told my wife next year I needed to schedule our vacation at the lowest part of low tide .

nice haul of loot! sounds like he has the happy dance down!
 

That was an excellent hunt! Nice rings!
 

Great finds!
 

Good to see your son get so excited he is the future.
 

I wish this was all from one day . This was the total from about 5 days of hunting .
Usually hunted late evening or tried to catch low tide.
