The socal storm came and went but I still decided to go out today. I went out just hoping for wheat back and that was all. The hunt started very slow but I wasn’t surprised since the beach was sanded in. I hunted one spot for about an hour and then call it quits since I wasn’t finding much. I walked south a couple hundred feet and so a few rocks barely exposed so decided to do a little gridding. My second target was the broken class ring. After that I found aluminum and few pennie’s I kept going since I had already found more than I was expecting. Later I stayed finding fishing weights. I got this high VDI (in the 90’s) signal on the manticore and dug a pyramid fishing weight. I checked the hole again and found another fishing weight, a long one this time. I rechecked the hole once more and found a buffalo nickel. I kept gridding this particular area but couldn’t find anything else besides fishing weights and more pennies.
I wasn’t feeling anymore here so I decided to go North. I went further north than where I started. This particular spot didn’t have anything special about it but I decided to grid it. I started finding a few coins, some pennies mixed with quarters and nickels. Around an hour later I hit the small 14k ring with 12 diamond chips. As this point a was ecstatic so the rest of the hunt didn’t really matter but just kept going. I spent another 30 minutes there and found two silver dimes (I think one is a barber).
After this place I decided to go check out this one spot further north. I walked for a long time doing a zig zag but didn’t find anything. I even stopped at another place showing a few rocks but nothing showed up besides aluminum. At this point I was done so I turned around. I looked where I came from and picked a straight line to detect on my way back. I walked for a while and got this loud signal with a 94 VDI. I shoved my scoop about 4-6” down and pulled it out. Checked the hole and the target was in the scoop. I tossed it and this silver disk popped out. It was a Franklin half and I just couldn’t believe it. I checked the area around it and there were no other heavy targets so I turned off the detector and called it a day. Thanks for looking and good luck out there.
I believe this year is the year of the broken rings, I think I have around 7 of them already. Would you counted as a ring or just a piece of gold?
