Early AM Bay hunt, but it was worth it! Gold Ring #7 for the year.

Had to stay up late for some overseas work and calls that needed to be made, and I ALMOST had myself talked out of hitting the beach but I figured what the hell, I'm still gonna be awake for a while, might as well get some exercise! It didn't start out so good and I wasn't finding a whole lot. On the return leg is when I hit that nice low sound. Initially it was great but after the first scoop it sounded worse but as I wasn't finding much, I was digging everything (and yeah, everything includes numerous 5 foot metal "dune fence" poles which are all over the Bay beaches here). Next scoop got it and that's when I realized it was near one of those &*^%$@! poles. First 14K for the year (all previous 6 were 10K) and it's pretty heavy for a smaller ring at 5.5 grams. There was a name but its so worn down it's unreadable,the "1693" is the date of the college (William and Mary) and has an "11" on one side.

Nice Olde Doc Bev! Get it while you can, I heard beach replenishment is coming to your Bay...?

Yeah, at some point this year they will be dumping sand on some spots in the Bay, already did some last year and the year before. Guess they think with all that plus the summer accretion still just isn't enough and we need to spend more $$ to add to it. They are predicting a lighter hurricane season but accu-joke has gotten THAT one wrong before! One good hit and it's all gone.
