Wow Casper, you hit a honey hole or what?!
Yes I did - the spot was north of Miami - it was in front of some older hotels in an area where the
nearest public parking was a mile in both directions - so locals would not park and walk that far (usually) to get to an area
that is where being a tourist some times has its advantage - I was staying just a couple hundred yards north at
another hotel - I jumped in and headed south and right off the bat got a silver ring and thought i was gonna kill it.
For the next hour I got almost nothing. Then I came upon a cut in the beach caused by 2 small storms that had gone thru
right before I got down there. Tide was almost out and i was in like waist deep water working in a straight line to the south
trying to find a spot that was holding a fair amount of finds so I could stop and grid. I hit a spot near this cut in the
shore where it was like being in a bowl. The storms had scooped out a lot of sand and the hard bottom with rocks, shells
and coral only had a few inches of sand covering it where in areas out side of this spot there was like 2 feet+ of sand
covering the hard bottom. Started to pull up green coins...every swing I was getting more than one target and 9 out of 10
were coins that had been lost years ago - I did not get any silver ones but my guess that most of the brown and green coins were
most likely from the 70's on up. Well at this point all i was getting was coins and i continued on thru this spot and continued
for another couple hundred yards with not much to show for it. The tide was turning and i turned and worked my way north
back to the area I was getting the older stuff. As soon as I entered "the bowl"...I got a nice signal and scooped up a heavy
mans 14k wedding band - Bingo. I started to grid the spot and was getting coins and jewelry left and right. Here are pics of what I got
for each day I hit there - this was my best travel trip ever and still to date.
Day #1 - 6 pieces of gold - 3 pieces of silver
Day #2 - 10 pieces of gold (2 rings lower left were 10k and did clean up)
Day #3 - 7 pieces of gold (bracelet was 10k - green cleaned off) 9 silver rings
Day #4 - water was really rough - i cant find pick for that day - I did not get much cause storm came in and there were big waves
I know I got a gold lazereth pendant and at least one gold ring - I could not stay in that long.
Here is pic of total haul - I got over $70 in change (ive had years when i was younger when I didnt even get that in a year)
