Been out a few times this week, Sunday and today (Weds). Had a good time Sunday with Scott, Ice was everywhere and tuff to work around but both of us did well. Was able to hit a rocky area about chest deep that held many good targets and came home with a couple gold. Water testing Dews little 8oo it was Hot! .. Water is still cold at 32 but air temps are up around 50 so it's not to bad.

Then Todays Hunt with MikeG, Had a real good time. Had to water test DocBevs Machine, Bam she scored me a 10k ring. Interesting day, Mike dug a big coin spill, I pushed around large chunks of ice trying to hit the rocky area, and I tried out Yoopers suggestion of using one as a sifter platform...Took a spill after stepping into one of my own holes, and then flopping around like a fish. 3 plus hours, cramps in both my legs..But both of us got Gold...

Sweet! That's a nice assortment there! Gold, gold, gold! :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Excellent job OBN! Glad she's still sniffing out the gold and I really appreciate you taking the time to give her a check up! Now send her home so I can get some too! Maybe she's ready to hit a streak! I need it! No yellow yet this year :(

Very well done OBN. Congrats on all of the nice finds.
 

Sweet finds, Joe! You are making us drool here! Hey do you have a video or a link of how to make those sifter rafts?
 

I enjoy the photo's of goodies Joe.:notworthy:
 

Many Thanks Guys, here is a short video of one of the targets and my Floundering fall. Near the end of the hunt did not help, fairly beat....then cramps in the calf's did not help

Nice finds OBN, congrats on the gold, I'm still looking for a nice gold with the channel set ice way to go:thumbsup:
 

Thanks TD NY Good Luck!! And I fully understand..I was out at another beach today for 20 minutes, just to much ice to be safe. None were to big but were deep big
