" The Cycle" ~ seein stars ...13 pic's and
Long story:
Woke up before sunrise.. the beach was calling out to me , I checked some charts online , grabbed some coffee, banana, snack bar and my old faithful eagle (rat) spectrum and headed straight to my favorite spot... happy to get out early for a change ...wondering what the ocean would reveal....... or not...
I started off just watching the tide roll out and sun come up and start heating things up....moving slowly along the beach where the waves wouldnt get my socks wet (which didnt matter after awhile anyhow).. finding a bunch of quarters, nickels..zinkons , dimes ,...then hit on a couple silver trinkets about 2 feet apart from 1 another.......one with a tiny gold link., alittle further down the line found some lead sinkers....then another signal ...down to 1 knee , digging in with my hand scoop...out of the hole comes a coin which after giving it a fresh ocean water bath....I could see some stars along the edge...and an eagle in the middle.... i thought 1800 s for sure.........it was not to be..........turned out its a sneakly old looking novelty coin .....oh well ....plenty more beach left........after that i sweep to the right and get 2 ....somewhat scattered id's but the signals ok....what the heck..lets see....first flip of sand the silver rings pops out and it's sporting a rather large pink stone.....Yahoo.... readable 925 inside the band....in the finds pouch it went... rescan and locate the other signal... flip another scoopfull out comes another ring...not sure what it made of but its light in weight so maybe aluminum? .. and in the good pouch it goes....then my batterys goes...low....and back to the beginning i go, the parking lot .
After a drink N snack back i go to where i left ...only now there are 2 gals taking off there cloths to go swimming....after watching them awhile I could tell they were a little drunk...Turns out they were alot drunk......and pretty entertaining between digs (loud even with my headphones on and more about them later) .... but the next solid target signal I get ....the "rat " says its a dollar..........Im at the beach so its gotta be a tin can.......wrong again...this time a blackend coin from the deep comes up ....I gave it a fresh sea bath and again the eagle and stars.... Im thinking another nov coin but this ones abit different....a date is visible.....1906 ..OMG not a dollar but a half dollar ....Im stunned and thought this cant be...Im at the beach ? and yes the tides coming back in and the beach is getting smaller an smaller ....what the heck im wet already the batterys good so i keep moving ...after some junker digs ,an coach tag... the next good signal I pull out a newer dollar coin...my first newby dollar... ...Im on a roll here and Geeezs .....whats next .... all this so far.....while keeping watch of the drunk girls swimming or doing something that sort of resembles swimming...(making sure they dont drown hehe).... keep swinging and I get another strong signal in between the pull tabs and bottlecaps that i dug outta the way first......what the ...out pops the IKE dollar ...I 'm thinking maybe I didnt wake up and this is all still a dream.......somebody slap me awake.......what could possible be next...... and On the way back to my car while staring at the ground i seeing this little sparkle thing that I pick up and it's a small diamond stud earing... Egadz ...... all this on a early MONDAY morning......the goodies gods are still smiling down on me (knocking on wood)..... If there's anything like running the cycle like in Baseball for detector finds...I think Ive just completed it....gold ,silver, diamonds...2 sweet rings (ok 1) ...plus the old and new coins from pennys to the half to the 2 dollar coins... Cant wait till i get back out.....might be awhile but what a day this has been....
almost forgot ....remember those drunk gals .....I had to help one of the girls back to a car (not to drive) , but just to sit down in, because she could hardly walk and couldnt swim.... from what i saw of her while in the waist deep water......anyways the " most work " of the day for me....swaying back and forth with her on 1 arm and my detector, digging tools and pouches on the other arm took darn near the last bit of energy i had...... she did manage to hand me a nice icey cold brewski........... which i drank while watching her pass out in the back seat............I was hoping to dig up a working video camera...cause they were sure fun to watch.....lol ..maybe next time...like this will happen again....... Like I said what a day....enjoy the photos....my camera isnt waterproof and
sorry no pics of gals...
or the beach....just the goodies on a parkside pinic table.
................some weird writings on the reverse side of these 2 ...any idears
star/eagle token coin wannabe
