Two Lake Erie Beach - water hunts

[Mirage]

I bought a used Excalibur 1000 back in the spring and have just recently put a little time in with it.

I went out to Mentor Headlands SP Beach.

The Lake was too rough to really hunt the water – it’s a steep drop off and there was a strong current. So I had to stick to the beach. Finds for the hour I put in were pretty sad:

I did meet another treasure hunter (Fred) and we had some good conversations. He did tell me that I would probably do better in the water.

The next hunt at Lake Erie I made sure there was a south wind. This time I was able to hunt anywhere in the water I wanted. I went to Huntington Beach which is close to me. More sorry results:

Only thing that somewhat encouraged me is this cheap braclet.

The third place I hunted at least I found some clad. It was a private campground/swimming hole. I found 3 Quarters, 5 dimes and about a dozen pennies.

Right now I’m not to encouraged with the water hunting thing….. At least now I can usually get the target in the first scoop.

Bob...

You sure do look like a Pro ...

Stick with it ... Looks like Fun ...

Besides ... It will leave more on the land for us landlubbers ...

Have fun my friend ~ Nick

Thanks Nick. I am a pro. But that doesn't guarantee results. It is peaceful and something different. I'll keep at it...at least for another month.

You will soon find the gold since you are finding pull tabs. Keep at it & Good Luck............

With that kind of trash coming up I have to believe you will be pulling up some good stuff soon. Keep us informed of what your are finding and how you are doing learning the excal. Best to you, Mike.

Keep it up, there is gold in those waters.......

The man in the armor suit is a nice find...............He will make a good prop for hanging the first gold ring you find there.....

Good luck and good hunting......

Looks like my water hunts, I manage a few more coins though, LOL. I have about 20 hours in the water and a long way to go before the detecting gear is paid for. It is a nice detecting change and great on those hot days. HH and good luck, Mike

Bob,
Is that Spandex you are wearing? Looking good Buddy.
Keep at it, you'll score some nice bling soon enough. Congrats on getting a water machine. I've always wanted to try that.
The bonus is you can watch the girls on the beach while you ACT like you're detecting. Yeah Baby!!!
See ya this winter.

You're getting out there, it's a start. Give it time. I'm sure there are old goodies (and some new ones) just waiting for you.
