Morning out at Newport Beach

[kiana7]

Well Friends got a chance to get out to Newport Beach not much to show..the weather was very nice got a little suntan,decided to concentrate more on the wet sand than dry sand...

Next time I'll go knee to waist deep & practice since it was a little on the low tide..

Did get to meet another md'er Louie,,he approached me wanting to know about my PI,he was using a whites coin master..
We chatted a while,nice guy for his scoop he had one of those plastic rubbermaid juice container,which he made holes on the bottom of it,I thought that was kinda clever & inexpensive!!!!


So anyway I had one of those slight sounds & thinking this is it my GOLDI dug & dug & it got a little louder so I dug more,about 3 feet,got louder,,,gave up because someone told me if its loud its must be iron maybe I'll go back

Kiana7, I get those kinds of sounds, too...I dig, and dig, and keep diggin'....then I just give up after a couple of feet , deciding that my arms are more important than whatever it is that deep.

But you never know. One day I got out up in Santa Monica way near the pier and I found three deep ones that all turned out to be cell phones. One was actually a Blackberry. All were prety much toasted of course but still fun to find as the tourists watch when you pull up phone from a foot or two down. I have even found working watches but then of course their is plenty of rotting aluminum cans out there or huge chunks of boat parts to cotend with.

Frankly I think around the piers in Newport the area get's raked over pretty good by local mdr's these days.

When you have a pulse,you have to dig it all and somtimes when they get to deep,you have to let them go.

Hi Lorraine,I thought I was the only one digging forever,so right my arm is more important,,funny though b/c you think you might pass up a good thing & when its toooo DEEP its also too LOUD,,
One time I dug so deep I came across a Pipe LineDid I back off ever

Welcome to Newport. These beaches are so picked over I'm surprised you found that much. I live 5min away and go down every once in a while and I usually see at least 2 other old timers MDing. Best of luck to you.
