Most of my hunting is older beach's, many long gone and now private. About the only way to get to them is by water. Making it a challenge each trip out. They have been very good to me the last few months, one gave up 37 gold rings in July.

Yesterdays gold came with several silver coins, stained by the brackish salty waters.

Even the gold ring was tarnished bad...but cleaned up nice

And as normal a little trash..

Hey Joe, love your beast of a machine!

Is that a watch on the end of the tube?

The good I am retired and can pick the best conditions to hunt, my average hunt is 3 to 4 hours, and maybe 3 to 4 days a week. The hunt above was only 2 hours...So the trick for me is find a good spot then wait till the water is flat and calm so I can hear the faint signals.

Yes, a cheap watch that just keeps me intune to when to get out...rush hour here is from 4 to 6pm...so it keeps me out of that mess.

Here is a video of gold ring Number 97 the other day...As you can tell it was a big surprise, I called it a penny until I got it in sight.

Glad to see you been out. I thought you were having health issues earlier this year. Nice pile of gold. How about that bracelet? Looks solid and heavy.

Like others, its hard to know what to say, except congratulations. Thank you for taking the time and effort to include the photos and video. As someone who is still trying to master a new Excalibur, I really appreciated the video showing you in action. One can see that it is hard work, especially working in chest deep water. Clearly, you deserve all that has come to you.
