I found #14 for my hoop earring collection. This is another HUGE one! It looks like a basketball hoop! I thought when I first saw it that it was the mate to the one I found a while back. Same type of catch but no when I put them side by side one is just a tad smaller but not by much! It isn't gold either just a cheapo. So far none of the earrings I've found have been gold.

Well, all was not lost I found 2 quarters in the dry sand before I got into the water along with 3 of the bottle caps. The other 4 quarters I found all together in one little area IN the water and the rest of the stuff was found IN the water.

It was not the pretty day out that it has been the last few times out. It even sprinkled a little while I was in the water but I didn't see any lightening or hear any thunder. I figured I was wet anyway so what was a little rain?

I met Jpotter while I was there and a little later met up with Cavedweller. Both were just starting to hunt. I hope they did better than I did. All in all I actually found targets so I figure it was a very good day. I still missed 3 but I'm getting better! I'll take the $1.54 in clad and the hoop for my collection! :wink: Tomorrow is a new day!

Also I have a question: I was about waist deep but with the waves coming in I was sometimes up to my neck. I was constantly being knocked away from the target. How do you guys manage to stay in one place while digging a target or do you? Weight belts? I am not a little girl but I had a heck of a time trying to stay in one place. ???

Nah, didn't make it out there yesterday. I figured I relax and let the other guys find all the good stuff. ::) Not that I'm finding that much! But there is always tomorrow!
 

Mumszie, My prediction of you finding gold by the 4th is starting to work you're getting closer good so be patient ::)

Mumszie it was nice to finally meet you. It was too rough out there this morning. It even caused me complete exhaustion. My machine started to give me problems because one of the wing nuts came off the shaft. I couldn't swing the detector anymore. I had pieces of it in both hands. I wanted to talk with one fellow detectorist that was out about waist deep, but I felt embarrased holding my detector in so many pieces. It was my fault, I just got the shaft in the mail and was excited to get the Excalibur out there with it. I didn't put the wing nut on tight enough. Live and learn, carry spare pieces in the car.

On the way out, I ran into the guy that manufactures Nuttel diamond scoops.

I'd trade my day for your day Mumszie. I was down near the beach but I was working. :'(
