Hunted like 7 different beaches in 2 - 1/2 days (arrival day and departure day) and 3 full days -all in water
first 2 days were a bust and I thought trip was going in the toilet. Beaches were hit recently - almost no keepers
Got no new drops - coin or other wise. Finally hit an older spot where I got caked coins down over a foot but not much else.
On 3rd day we traveled to another beach and got a Platinum and 2 golds = white gold with diamonds and small 10k
...place also had been hit recently I got no other keepers. There was a lot of trash thrown back
at a few spots. I could see older deep holes that had filled a little - not much sand movement - so they fill back slowly
had sea grass and trash sitting in them. Most spots were totally cleaned from chest to shallows and
trash was thrown into deeper waters. I asked lifeguards and beach attendants if other detectorists had been there recently and they said yes.
I traveled to a couple of other small beaches on 4th day - Not a single keeper just more trash and more recent holes with trash in them or next to them.
I think some guys figure they are not going to be back so they don't care.
Moved on to a local beach and was getting a bunch of coins down deep again best was mother heart pendant 10k- less trash.
Day I had to leave - walked a mile to another beach and
came away with nice white and gold band - 14k...recent loss - dated 2018...so ended trip on a high.
Couldve done better - could been worse :thumbsup:

You got a lot more gold on your short trip than I got on my two long trips which was none!! Great saves and having fun is all that really counts. Good work Casper

When I ran a beach in St. Thomas we warned newly weds about wearing their new rings while swimming, snorkeling and sailing. New ring and salt water don't miss. On our lunch hour we'd go out on the reefs and look for a windbreaker a guest had lost with cash and a brandnew Omega in the pocket. Slipped off a Sail Fish. We never did find it.

Good luck to all,

The Old Bookaroo

I guess the other detectorists figured they didn't need to carry their trash away as they had you to do it! :laughing7:

I always enjoy your posts, Casper...I know you dig everything and are usually rewarded by your persistence. Take the good and leave the rest...you did good! It totally blows that you had to pack all that trash out from those lazy hunters, I'm sure most of us here, myself included, has had to fill holes, pack trash and repair plugs that wasn't ours. Thx for sharing your vacation trip with us..Ddf.
