Don`t know if it`s been told before so i would like to relate a lil story from long ago.
Been hunting the beach`s for awhile back then before the sweapers it was alot better, i might add. But one day i was being lazy and had the tv going and saw a weather report bout a fast approaching storm, coming from the south with 20-25 mph wind gust freak storm not much ran or weird hair designs(lightning strikes) just alot of wind that was running very fast from the south/south west. Well knowing the beach and that most people didn`t listen to weather reports i jumped up and headed out the door. Hit the loop and started at the rocks, rudie inlet, now this was mid of the summer nice hot muggy summer day and the beach was loaded. Slowly started working north in the main blanket area knew the wind was bout 30-45 mins away so just took my time.
Let me tell ya when that storm hit basically out of nowhere it was like alladin`s magic carpet ride just bout every blanket on the beach went flying, now i m not a fast hunter by nature but let me tell ya this that day i was. I turned on the afterburners and sweapt wide and fast just hitting the top layer, was still using my old standby whites at that time. LOL i know u all have seen the comic of the lil guy with the detector moving at the speed of sound well that was me. From the loop to the statue i just about ran, that was the best day humm should say hours i have ever had. Ended up finding enuf silver and gold to more then pay for a sovi and excal, yes i did say 2 top of the line detectors thats how much i found in that short amount of time.
Some that i def remember were:
7 watches mens and ladies(1 rolex)(returned for reward)
37 silver necklaces
21 gold necklaces
18 motel room keys(yeah remember those days when we actually used keys)
geezzzz gold and silver rings can`t remember how many but it was a bunch
""and most importantly 6 rewards from people that saw me out there hunting""
alot of items that "Could be id`d intails or such were returned for rewards" took severial mths.
Anyway lesson of this post is to always watch the weather, esp those freak summer storms that blow in from outa nowhere, cause they can be ur best friend.
I know this is my first post here, and ohh well this ain`t bout what i found thats old history now its bout passing on maybe one lil tidbit of info i have learned to others, as so many other`s have done here.
ps. only problem with a day like this is, it can easily ruin u for future beach hunting, but dang was it fun.
