I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

The Corpus Christi club held their monthly hunt Sat. at Packary Channel, the few brave souls that ventured into the bitting wind found the beach to be clean except for a little clad. Although I am not a member of the CC Club, my brother is and I tagged along on this hunt. Dressed in jeans and a long sleeve shirt then a warm up set over it and a jacket with my face completely covered(still got wind burned and need to carry chapstick with me), I wandered the beach front hoping that the recent reopening of the channel, dredging and activity would be promising. The beach being isolated except for us poor souls gave me an image of what life probably once was like along this desert looking land. The metal detecting gods did not smile down on us that day and I believe them to be especially peeved at me for some unknown reason. At the end of the day after being at packary channel, and the bayfront in CC, my grand total was 22cents all pennies a 45cal casing, some type of lead balance strip, and a thin small metal star. Its days like these that I remind myself why I enjoy relic hunting so much, at least you will find something interesting, even if you don't know what it is.


Note for imafishingnut:::: No pics attached its just too painful(another reason we don't always post pics. I personally don't want to ever see those 22 salt encrusted pennies again myself)

And I thought I was the only one! At least you got to spend some time hanging out with your brother.

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

Atleast you still went out. That shows that you have detecting fortitude. Nicely done!

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

I know what you meant imafishing but I couldn't resist adding that to the post.
Glad you still read it.

Yeah the good news was I got to get out, which I really haven't had a chance to do not for any length of time and spending time with my brother is always a blast. Especially with him laughing at me penny after penny.

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

Keep kickin it TX girl! The finds will come. It's simply location, location, location. Actually it's unhunted location, unhunted location, unhunted location.

Happy Hunting

Awww, that's better than 22 pulltabs. At least you can find the pennies your detector tells you are there.

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

I left that part out...my luck was penny pull tab, penny, pull tab, penny, screw tab, penny, pulltab and I think I left out the part that this was a 6hr hunt

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

Temps must have been nice though. You wanna talk cold, try -4 w/-28 degree windchill.
Hang on though and I wish you better luck.

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

Too bad the hunt wasn't more productive for you, but at least you got out. I hate the cold too, especially when I'm not finding much. Good luck next time.

I seen that on the news...shiver shiver chatter chatter. I don't know how you folks up north do it. It was 60 degrees (which was nice but the wind it felt like 30) And only a couple of us ventured out, I can not imagine living in a place where it gets as cold as yours and being able to function, go to work, shop, anything. You folks are hearty and a bit crazy I do believe.

At least you can hunt, lady, and good job on getting out there and doing so.

Up here in Meeshigan it's colder'n penguin poop on the tundra..

Re: I didn't even find enough to pay for my chap stick

I heard its colder up there than the temps in Alaska have been. Don't want to rub it in but today its wonderful...its 74 degrees and sunny. Too dang bad I am stuck at work. Some one want to call my boss and tell him I need to leave work immediately that I am highly contag. and that it will last for the next couple of days. The fever is a very rare but severe one(metald detecting fever)

I promise who ever calls in for me I will split my pennies with them 50/50 oh alright you can have all of them!

Hang in there persistance is the key to your success. That is what my fortune cookie said. Thought I would share.
