GOLDEN SUNRISE AND GOLD AT THE BEACH

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Wanted to try North Ave. beach in Chicago again.
Not big on driving into Chicago at any time, but
the weather has been very warm here and the beach
got a lot of use over the weekend.

Up at 3:30 am out to the beach by 4:55am.
About a 30 mile trip one way into Chicago, but
at that hour no traffic. Also your allowed free
parking, at the beach, until about 8:00am,
which in Chicago is very expensive. Home by 9:00am.

Bottle caps, bobby pins, cans, (them machines
sure don’t pick them all up), lots of foil, $2.54 in
clean clad and, (BINGO), a very nice 14K ladies ring.
Stone has a very faint blue to it, have to have it
checked out at the jeweler

Was very pleased with the ring find, but just being
out there at sunrise made the day for me; just
a special feeling.

(Photos: Sunrise; Sand Machine; Folks detecting in the water; ring.)

all have a good un.

Lake Michigan, east, this morning.
Sunrise not sunset

all have a good un..............

Duh what was I thinking? You did say this morning. IF it were a sunset you would be in Indiana or Michigan.
Still a beautiful photo.

DeKalb,

I was there this morning working the dry
sand; Ron was there this morning working
out in the water; Keith say he was there
this morning.

I got a ring; Keith says he got a ring; sure there
was a ring waiting for you

Where was you? :P :P

have a good un.......................

Golden,

the only reason I hit it so early is parking.

If I go early I can park next to the beach from
sunrise, (about 5:00), until about 7:30 am, for
free.

If I'm there after 8:00 and spend a few hours detecting,
it's going to cost me $8 - $10 to park in the same
location. Thats a lot of clad to dig just to try covering
parking.

have a good un................
