6-30 Debby leaves me a goodie :)

Well Debby sure put a hurtin on some of our Gulf coast beaches. The few that I visited yesterday and this morning had anywhere from 1 to 4 feet of sand removed. It has also brought out all those fly by night detectorists who leave the big gaping holes open everywhere on the beach! Beaches that I have never seen anyone detecting on are full of scoop drag marks and potholes all over. It is really sad that some people can not take 2 seconds to cover their hole. I am embarrassed to be out there while the joggers pass me and give me dirty looks even though I cover all my holes and others holes as well

OK, sorry but I had to vent. Back to the hunt. Snuck out yesterday after work and hunted a fairly low tide from 5-8pm. lots of greenies and also managed 4 rings! 2 silver and 2 junk. Got back out early this morning and followed up with 2 rings, one little baby pink toe ring and one 14K with a diamond chip!
All in all not bad for 5hrs total hunting in the wet sand. Hope everyone else fares well this weekend!

Good ring count and gold too, nice digging. I know what you mean about the get rich quick detectorist. I was at a beach where you seldom see anyone detecting and it looked lke a swarm of bees in the wet sand. They were digging with everything from garden trowels to snow shovels. Im not kidding one guy had a snow shovel. I got in the water so I wouldnt get run over.
