short 3 hour hunt

[wwwtimmcp]

I am visiting my brother in mississippi and we drove to the coast near long beach in gulfport. they trucked in sand but I did manage to get .81 cents in clad and a very nice ka-bar international folding knife. lots of deep pop cans and trash but it was nice getting on the wetsuit and digging targets. sorry no photo's but I could not carry the camera in the water. maybe when I get home.

happy hunting to all.

Sounds like a decent hunt Knife sounds nice. Everytime you get out whether you find something or not, it's all good.

What part of Mississippi is you brother calling home. I was raised up between Tylertown, and Columbia Mississippi. Met my wife in Pascagoula, and moved to Texas in 1970. I go back when we get a chance, and I go to Biloxi beach to detect with him. The last time I found 24 quarters, five nickles, and several dimes in six foot area. Looked like someone dropped the bag. The coins were sticking out of the sand. Good luck on your hunts, and HH.

Its ironic that us detectors would call a 3 hour hunt short....

I'm sure that my wife would say that she would rather have her head lit on fire and put out what a wooden mallet than spend 3 hours digging in the dirt...

But I'm with you! Any day 'tecting and playing in the dirt is a great day!

old river, my brother is living in hattiesburgh but they love driving to the coast on weekends. new orleans/gulfport/biloxi.

fooserpaul. hell 9 hours swinging my jw.fishers pulse 8x is a long day. 3 hours is just a warm up period.

after leaving ohio in 20 degree weather anything above freezing is a blessing. I cant wait to get back in lake erie.

happy hunting to all.

Hattisburg is my old stomping grounds. Everytime we go home we end up in Hattisburg. Hope you enjoyed your trip, and visit. Have a safe trip back home. Happy Hunting.

I used to live in that area.....those beaches should produce some casino coins!

wildcatman, hurricane katrina did some major damage to the area, our last hunt was a bust. we went yesterday farther west of long beach but found nothing of value. not one modern coin either. we spent 3 hours digging up junk. I did manage to find a large iron box 12"x24"x over 2.5 feet long. not sure what it was maybe a storm drain uprooted and washed out to the beach. iron was over 2" thick. no way was I going to be able to dig it out let alone remove it.

happy hunting to all

Just try to imagine what could have been in that box. Did it have a lid, and hinges with a lock. Lots of things got washed out of houses, and buisinesses during Katrina. Some have been recovered, and some "NOT". Good luck Hunting, and enjoy.

old river, we dug about an hour against a rising tide but found no tace of hinges or a latch of any kind. we did manage to check the entire upper portion though inside and out just to be sure. I did make up for it today though, check out my other post. "booking"
