Friday's Digs

Took the Jolly Roger out for a spin, pretty much the same as yesterday. Loads of coins and few token pieces of silver, but no gold. However, I did score on a nice diamond setting that I have to get to the jeweler sometime.

The beach is a very strange lady right now. I think part of the problem is that we had so much sand over here to begin with before Sandy. It appears we lost some sand but we had so much over burden to begin with on the lower half of the beach Sandy just moved "some of it". This, to me anyway, explains why most of the targets are confined to the upper half of the beach, because there was less additional summer over burden there so what sand got removed provided a significant enough change. Not the same effect on the lower half due to so much additional sand already being there. What got removed from the upper beach just got relocated to the lower beach which explains why there's so so few targets down below. Makes sense to me anyway.

Your explanation makes sense to me, my buddy and I did NSB yesterday afternoon, lots of clad up high and very few targets down low at low tide. One junker earring and a few bucks in change.

It's the same thing all along the beach, from the inlet to 3 miles south of 27th. However, the further south you go the more sand you'll encounter up on the higher beach....."very soft beach" down that way.

A little over 300 coins in about 15 hours hunting time, so no lack of targets for sure. But only 12 pieces of jewelry and only 5 of those are silver, no gold at all. Coins are mostly crusted, red & green or black. Very strange so little jewelry. Maybe only a half dozen pull tabs and just a few bottle caps, yet very few lead weights. "I'm so confused!" Sandy is messing with my head.

Nice dig but the gold give the nice flavor. Dont worry my friend, the gold come back for you soon. I sure.

Let's hope Sandy piled all those heavy gold rings in one long smooth line for you to find later!

You always hear this word for me: Any beach is anywhere much gold.

Thanks for sharing . Looks like you were busy. Gold should be close by. Good luck.
