Since I had to drive over to Bradenton to have the appraisal done, of course I had to hit the beach while there... Started off with my Excal, but after 2 hours and only 1 target found (very shallow dime), I was starting to think that the repair wasnt good... So I hit the dry sand and found a few bottle caps in short order.. None real deep, but deep enough to tell me the Excal was at least working... So then I figured that although the sand was hard-packed, maybe the targets were too deep... I went back to the truck and grabbed my PI Dual... Started finding targets right away, and they were all pretty deep... Dime at a foot, penny at 10 inches, etc... Got a good solid tone, and dug down a good 15" or so, and came up with a medallion of some sort, I cant figure out what it is supposed to be, on a cheap ball chain... It may be silver, I have yet to look at it under a loop... Another 30 min passed and hit another solid tone.. Really weird ring, possibly silver also.. Never seen a ring like that before... Spent another couple hours with very few targets, a couple more dimes and pennies, fishing weights, etc...
So I ran down to another beach a short distance from this one... Same thing, pretty sanded in, but within probably an hour tops, hit this baby.... Stamped 14k and has what looks like an Emerald surrounded by diamond chips... It is really nice, I think it will clean up well too.... It was a good foot down also.. Very faint signal for the first 2 scoops, then loud... Man, they sure look nice in the scoop...
Great day, conditions really couldnt have been better.... Even had a huge Manatee swim right by me like I wasnt even there... They are sure strange looking critters...
HH all, and have a safe weekend!
