5 Days Of Beach Hunting During The Storms

[The Seeker]

I have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for the last week and it paid off.  I found one beach with some nice sand movement and I hunted there for five days.  I managed to dig 5 gold, a few silvers and $70.92 in clad. The diamond chips on the two rings are real and all rings are 14k. One of the 14k is plum gold and another is 14kpc (pc= platinum coated). Good luck out there and happy hunting.

That's incredible, what detector were you using? Some very nice rings there.

I'm going to give beach hunting another go, I've decided to order myself a proper sand scoop as doing it without one was a bit of a mission.

 

 

I swing an Equinox 800 and it has served me well for a year now. A scoop with a long Handle is best so you don’t bend down too often.  I bought a no name brand off eBay for $100 and it’s still going strong after 2+ years, even digging in rocky beaches.  Best time to hunt is during storms and  low tides.  Also hunting during summer for fresh drops at touristy beaches is good. Good luck and HH

Good job on the rings, you earned them!

Good work Seeker. Headed to Pismo mid June for 3 days...Tides not that great but hopefully something will turn up...  looks like you found some some erosion...Beaches can be hard to read if you dont live and detect around them often....I've had a few experienced beach hunters give me advice over the years...but I'm a slow learner.

Thanks, yes I've ordered a no name brand scoop with handle off ebay too, It was going to cost me so much money for a brand name one as nobody locally appears to sell them, even my Ebay one ended costing me over a hundred bucks.

I've got a Nox 800 so with that combination hopefully I can accomplish some finds like yours ?

 

 

You shouldn’t have any problems finding jewelry with this detector. Good luck out there.

I found a decent cut at this place and just hit it till I couldn’t anymore. I went to other beaches before this one and non had any good sand movement. This particular beach only had about 150 foot long cut and the rest of the 2 mile stretch was unaffected by the waves. I’m a fairly new to beach detecting but once I got my equinox last April I started going more often.  I don’t know if it’s the detector or what but since I got the EQ I have recovered 42 Gold rings (1 return). I’m sure if you take your time walking the beach, looking for heavy targets you’ll get something good.  Don’t forget those 1’s and 2’s can be chains, I have found two so far. Good luck

The oldest item from these finds is a Merc, although I can’t read the date due to the crust on it.  I was able to take some of the crust off it but not enough to see the date.
