A good week at the beach

[waseeker]

First of all, thanks to everyone for the tips and guidance on beach hunting.

I got to spend a few days on Padre Island last week. Two of the days were bright sunshine and there were at least 10 folks out there with MD's, but most days were a bit cloudy and wet so I had quite a bit of beach to search without much competition.

Total count was:
1 Men's 10K gold Ring (My first gold)
$13.48 in Clad
about 100 coins I can't identify until I get the marine gunk off of them
a couple of small silver rings
a silver button/medallion
a few nice relics
lot's of trash than went straight to the waste can
a few lumps that I cannot ID at this time.

Thanks again to everyone for their advice which helped make the beach hunt a good one.

Wow,it doesn't look like that beach has been detected in a while.Good going! Lots of good stuff there! On second thought,maybe I need a new detector for the beach. Mine acts up alot near saltwater.Nice finds.H.H.

But I was just there in July and cleaned up all the treasure. Surely I hunted out the area.

We stayed at Coral Cay Condos just south of Nueces County Park and Caldwell Pier. Had a great time, but I wish I knew then what I know now. It was my second week with the Ace 250. 6 months of experience can sure change ya. Maybe in 6 years I'll know what I am doing.

Nice finds!

Cheers.
