Popular Post The Seeker Posted February 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 I was able to get out a few times for the recent SoCal storms. Although I came across a few cuts there wasn’t much gold to be found. This is my first hunt of the storm. I found enough targets to keep me busy. The 14k ring with diamonds was an eyeball find that was laying on top of some black sand and 90% of the ring was exposed. The teeth were found almost at the end of the hunt and they appear to be gold but haven’t tested yet. As you can see there was almost no jewelry in this hunt. This second hunt provided a lot more targets and jewelry but surprisingly only one gold. I found quite a bit of silver. The third hunt provided a decent amount of coins but only two pieces of jewelry. I thought they were both junk but the earring is marked 10k on the stem and has diamond chips. These are all my better finds for January. This has been my best month/year in my short time in the hobby. Thanks for looking and good luck out there. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very good.I found a heart ring like that but it was plated. Not sure what kind of stone if any was in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 That is quite a month. Well done. It looks like you averaged one gold ring for every 2 hours or so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 First thing I want to say is what great finds you are making this year. Second thing I want to say is Show Off, you keep killing us with the finds. Just kidding. Good luck on your next hunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being only 45 minutes from the beach helps but getting out is the hard part. I’m sure there’s lakes and rivers where you’re at with some beaches waiting for you to loot 👍🏼 15 hours ago, Hardtimehermit said: Great start to the year, may the good finds keep coming, and i'm with dogodog, where's the beach? 👍 Thanks. The beach is here in SoCal, come on down. I have to worn you though, it’s freezing, we just dipped into the 50’s 🥶😅 15 hours ago, Compass said: You had an amazing month seeker-congrats on all the treasure! Thanks Compass. Last year I missed so many good storms so I wanted to do better this year. Things are looking good and I would be happy to get one gold ring from here on out. 12 hours ago, mn90403 said: That is quite a month. Well done. It looks like you averaged one gold ring for every 2 hours or so! I think I did 10-12 hunts although I didn’t count them. I hunt 5hrs on average so looks about a ring per hunt, maybe less. I don’t think I’ll be getting out as much from now on but we shall see. 9 hours ago, Valens Legacy said: First thing I want to say is what great finds you are making this year.

I know I like to look at other peoples treasure post and that gets me fired up to get out there and get my share. Now get out there and swing your 800 and come back and share with the rest of us to keep the hobby alive 😎 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_in_CA Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Good to see a CA report action. I was passing through So. CAL (on my way to some land-hunting objectives), on 1/29. I hit Santa Monica and Manhattan beach. The storms/swells had *just* gone by the day or two before, and I was hoping that some residual action was maybe still there. But it was as you said: Rather disappointing. And other So. CA guys reported the same thing: Not as good as they'd have hoped. We had some action up in my part of CA (Monterey Bay beaches) during that event. But nothing earth-shattering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you pass by to do some dirt hunting let me know. I promise my rates aren’t as high as others since I only charge 29.99% of whatever you find for hunting in this part of CA 😎 I saw the reports you posted elsewhere and that silver dollar and gold chain were nice. It’s surprising that not a lot of gold was found in SoCal although quite a few beaches had 3+ foot cuts. I guess we need 5+ foot cuts to get to the older stuff. Hope the storm/waves next week are good enough for one or two golds. Good luck up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
