Finally broke out of my water hunting slump with 3 gold & 3 silvers!!

[Bill D. (VA)]

I've really been putting in the time this summer hoping to put a lot of gold in my scoop, but for the most part it's been tough going. But things took a turn for the better this morning, finally. My buddy Reid and I were at the beach for the 6:00 sunrise and were quickly in the water. Things started out slowly yet again, and as I made my way to a new area I noticed another hunter slipped in just as I got there. So I decided to hit an adjacent spot and quickly scored a nice little silver ring. It wasn't long before the other guy moved on, and I decided to move into the area he had just vacated. It wasn't long before I heard one of those sweet mid-tones, and I was not disappointed as the first scoop resulted in a nice 14kt wedding band gleaming among the shell fragments. Then over the next 15 minutes I proceeded to pull out a silver pendant, a really nice 18" silver chain (with broken clasp), and finally another gold ring with a few misc stones. Later, another part of the beach produced a wide wedding band that did a disappearing act for a bit before I finally coaxed it from the depths. Other than those 6 pieces of silver and gold, I dug 47 coins and a few other junk jewelry targets. I hope this is a good sign that the final few weeks of the season will be productive, and maybe that really special find will finally reveal itself.

Very nice haul of jewelry. Three gold rings is just spectacular. I am so used to seeing you get the colonial stuff, glad to see that you get the new stuff too. Well done!

Thanks Tom. Unfortunately, this time of year I can't get access to the colonial fields so I do what I can to keep from getting too bored. A hunt like this will definitely do the trick. Hope all is well down your way.

That is certainly a great bunch of slump breakers! Congrats awesome silver and gold sores!
Nice finds for sure! Bet the water felt nice too!

The 15 pendant is not gold?

Excellent way to break a slump. Be glad when I can get back in the water or on land. The silver necklace looks like a recent drop. HH.

[Patriot Relics]

Way to go Bill- all that gold should pay for another trip up to Vino's backyard to dig the good stuff. Congrats on a great haul

That's not breaking out of a slump that's smashing the slump in the face with a baseball bat . Nice going

Way To go Bill, that should hold you off for a minute.
