Wet Sand Hunt...SAMSUNG GALAXY 5

Wet Sand Hunt...SAMSUNG GALAXY 5...UPDATE..1923 CANADIAN NICKEL.

Got in a four hour wet sand hunt on the negative low. Enough targets to keep me busy, with the best find being a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. It was down a good 14 inches and when I got it out the screen was cracked where I hit it with the scoop. It had water in it and wont power on but was in mint condition before I cracked it...would have sold on E bay for $100 water damaged...looks like I might get $50 to $70 with it water damaged and cracked. On my last water hunt I got an I Phone 6. So after water hunting four years without a quality phone find, I get one on two hunts in a row...strange coincidences happen metal detecting....good luck to everyone. UPDATE...Just discovered one of the coins is a 1923 Canadian nickel...nice little surprise.

Seems like they come all at once, I had never dug a grill in 7 years of water hunting until this winter..now I have three.

I'm hoping the phones will pick up also once I start my fresh drops beach's in July...

Cell phones sound like a electrical explosion on my excal when I come across them. The first one I dug up was a 4s apple iphone ,did the same thing cracked the glass. So now when I get that sound I run my hands in the sand to feel for it. They are very shallow in the sand . Most the time a fresh drop. The ones found in the water are toast. I have found 3 iphone 4s, 1 iphone 5s and my latest is a iphone 6 plus. All working. And many damaged and off brand phones. I have my best luck with phones early Sunday morning, Hitting the beach party spots from Saturday night drinking partys. Good luck Joe

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot I found those...without my reading glasses I lined em up with the nickels....I knew one was a game room token and I thought the other was a Canadian nickel...they are still on the table where I took the pics so I just went and took a good look...It is a Canadian nickel...a 1923 CANADIAN NICKEL!!!...its a new drop but still cool...I love this hobby.

Nice hunt for conditions lately but that quote hits home.... heck even with a magnifying lens hanging around my neck, until I get back to the car OR get something confirmed by some younger eyes.....I never know what I have half the time!

Keep swinging

Awesome finds! I just bought a cz20, so hopefully I will have a "beach finds" post before too long!

Nice finds! Good days hunting! They say things come in threes, so keep hunting.


I found a phone that had been run over, screen cracked and it still worked! Returned it.
While I was having all kinds of trouble with my brand new one! Irony at work!
