Yesterday, I attempted a 3rd go -round at locating the quarter vortex at a place the regulars have nicknamed "Penny Beach."
I did mange to get a dozen quarters but they were spread out instead of being located in a single concentration.
I did enter the water at low tide but it wasn't "Dead Low." You can't go in the water until the lifeguards come on duty and that doesn't happen until 10 A.M.
There was already water movement as far as the tide goes. I know that the larger and better targets are deeper and the only way to get to them is at dead low.
I was hoping to relocate the Quarter Vortex I have been picking away at during my 2 previous water hunts this year.
Working the water north to south and back again I spent about 5 hours in the water. I did make a few "Wish Scoops." That is when you scoop out a target, knowing that it is an iron signal. You are actually "Wishing" that the iron is masking some gold.
At the end of the hunt, I had recovered 49 coins. Thirty Five of them were pennies. That's why we call it "Penny Beach"
The picture of the beach at low tide is a shot I took in May of 2013.
