Primary Interest:
Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
Overcast / showery conditions emptied one of my favourite water hunts today. It is a river beach and sees lots of traffic / tourists. All finds were from knee to chest deep. The water was clear for an hour or so then visibility dropped on the bottom of the run out tide, so I was getting heaps of "blind" practice with the scoop and that Cane handle is still going strong. I have cherry picked alot of the top layer of big blasty / strong signals over my 5 or so hunts there, so I knew I would have to be listening for weak ones and digging down - was retrieving targets on 2nd and 3rd scoop (average) - the strategy paid off today with what is quite a nice haul for me, the old can pulls and green coins give me encouragement that there is way more there .....+ these weak signals are literally everywhere:
Pics of todays booty:
-the trash
- pointy body piercing thingy + two junk rings
- my first cross - no hallmark - looks a bit cheap to me :dontknow:
- the coins - $12-80 (our gold $1 and $2 coins go really black in the saltwater and are tough to clean)
- the hallmarked silver, "925 ITALY" earing, hangy 925 hippee earing thingy, solid band, and small ladies with ice or CZ stone- will test one day
- the gold - breaking a drought since January 31st - a nice 8mm 9ct band - happy here as it is good and weighty and also got her deep - she has obviously been soaking awhile.
- finally a silver from last Tuesday at the same beach (hunt when it finally clicked that I could rescue deeper stuff)
So HH hunting to you all.

Congratulations on the finds especially on the gold band.
 

:icon_thumleft:When you get gold, its great finds. Happy hunting. :icon_thumright:
 

Excellent looting! :headbang:
 

Keep it up - nice finds :icon_thumright:
 

You just know that it feels good to finally get some gold after a short
drought. Congrats on the gold band and the rest of your keepers. A
good hunt. Gold Nuggets :hello:
 

Nice scooping.... The cross may look cheap because the detail is worn off. However, gold is soft and worn off easily. I would not discount it without testing first. HH. Ralph

thanks mate - it truly was the ability to go deeper in the water - on sand as y' all (I just love that USA saying - it sounds like "yaul" - I think it is from the South?) know you can dig to China. I'll check the cross - I need a decent set of scales, diamond tester and acid kit - fun to need these :icon_thumleft:

Thanks to all replies - yaul keep safe and horrowshow hunting to you!
Ps - Has anyone heard from Lorrain?
