So we had some really big surf roll through here these past couple of days which finally died out. Being aware of it, I made plans to hit the low tide this afternoon here locally. As many of you know, I'm new to this hobby and have only had my detector for 5 days now. I got a backpack together with snacks and drinks for my kids, loaded them and the green machine into the truck, and arrived on site 1 hour before dead low. Fired her up, gave the kids the rules, and started the walk down from the parking lot. As we came over the winter berm I could see a vast expanse of freshly water-free sand and I knew I had timed it right. That is until I saw holes scattered about for 200 yards down the beach. Nearly out of sight I could see a real pro with a fully waterproofed rig coming in and out of the surf, up and down, zig-zag, and every other which way all over the path I had hoped to take. My little girl says, "Daddy, I think that man beat us to all the treasures."
Hoping that with as fast as he was moving he had missed some targets, I trudged my way down the beach. He didn't. All I got was a few bits of foil, a pull-tab or two, and a bobby-pin. I wonder what he managed to score?
I was really hoping to make a good find today but it was not to be. I did however enjoy a wonderful afternoon with my children which is reward enough.
