Central Jersey the slope up here is tremendous. In 50 ft it raises 18ft half way down it and you can't see land. This is good and bad items get jammed in on the slope but get buried quickly. Right place right time deal. As the wind shifts it will peal the sand off exsposing targets. The trought is holding items of many weights. Matt and I could no longer dig in the water as we were beat tired! All our jewlery came from the water and trought area! Three days ago I had 24 clad smae beach same huntime same low tide. It holds true you should have been here yesterday.
Lookingdown fun but 23 hrs up and digging is getting tougher at 53.
Hot zone I'll get a close up for you.

Nice ring! Congrats!

Here in California beach access is limited to after sunrise until 10 PM. I've never tried calling them on it but I'm surprised you have no problems on the East coast..or do you?

The ocean is open to the American people free of charge 15ft and below the hight water mark evrywheres. It has been ruled on by the United States Supreme Court many times. There must be an access location every so many miles. (this changes every so often by the courts) What has remained the problem is how you access the ocean. If you tresspass on Public or privatly own lands to get to the high water mark then its quite simply tresspassing. You can and will be arrested. But Selective inforcement can't be tolerated, I can't be stopped and the family playing ball can be allowed to tresspass. Even in the middle of a busy summer season our paid beaches can't stop people from tranversing the ocean from below that high tide mark, so long as they have a legal access(paid for entry at one beach provides this) Do they try yes are they sucessfull yes. It has become such a fight here in NJ that the police who are called have become well versed in what is right and wrong.We have and will continue to have debates over who's right and who's wrong. I used to have to carry a court document to show when detained. I no longer have too. Many other vistors of the beach have long carried this battle though the courts for years. We as detectorist have just tagged along the shirt tails so to speak. I have been involved in this since 1974 and have had many removals from public waters over the years. They have become very coy in the attempt to stop the use of lands and waters through the use of the DEP and Parks systems. These are just a few groups that have been giving an undisclosed amount of monies to help fight for our rights.

That's a lot of digging/scooping and I don't just mean the finds. Knowing your local laws/rights is so very important. That is an unusual claddagh. Nice find!
