Smudge reporting.
Well, took the new Sovereign out to Cocoa Beach at the crack of dawn for my first field operation. I'm still early in the learning curve, but I am loving this detector!
I stayed out until 11:30 when the heat, and soon after the rain, forced me to call it a day.
After four hours of swinging, I ended up with:
*11 pull tabs. Someone said the average is 100 pull tabs for every gold ring, so I figure I'm about 1/10 of the way there.
* A piece of an old Busch beer can.
* A corroded can lid.
*Something that looks like an aluminum bar that got twisted into a link. Still scratching my head on this one.
*Part of a hot pink zipper. I don't even want to know that back story on that one.
*A very nasty looking fishing lure. Better in my scoop than someone's foot!
*After pulling 13 specimens, it appears that Bud Lite has slightly edged out Corona as the beverage of choice for Central Florida beach goers.
* Four clad quarters, two of which were found together!
* Two clad dimes.
Hope you folks had better luck today than old Smudge, but I've go no complaints.
