If it wasn't for new clearing at one place my finds would have been pretty lean. 😀 Thanks! Thanks!! I hope you can get some place to dig. Sometimes the most unlikely places produce some good finds. River banks are one such place. A buddy of mine and his friend are doing a river down state from me and they stumbled on to a swimming area. barber, seated and walking liberty haves have surfaced along with over 35 other silvers, Indians etc. Any field will do if you can get permission. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun was full bore but had some clouds roll in from time to time. I figured I’d spend a good chunk of the day getting to re-learn the CTX. I forgot most of the tricks for depth on a beach and finally remembered how the menu and buttons work. 🙄 No silver or gold goodies today but did manage one decent target – a 1926 (or 5) Buffalo Nickel. I used the CTX for about 5 hours just to try and get silver, but the clad layer was dominating. The GPX was used in the wet sand for about 3 hours and scored the deep Buffalo nickel. Lot of digging, a lot of coins but no shiny today. If I get out, Maybe taking the EQ in the water and fight them waves a bit. 🏊♂️ Wow you really are putting in some time on this beach! What are you using for a scoop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got no other places to go 😄 No scoop on these hunts. They are all dry sand and wet slope hunts. I use a short handle spade for most of my hunting. For the rare water hunts I have an Xtreme scoop. Very durable scoop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hunts show me all I'm missing 😏 I really admire your organization of finds and persistence, and very often you dig things I can only dream of finding! Any Hallmark on that knife? 🤣 Seriously, if it's made in the USA it could be worth something, or not... 🤔 Honestly I'm glad anyone else on the forum is posting hunts and stories. I love new detectors but it always devolves. 🙄 I miss @dogodog@NCtoad, @ROCKINGCM, and many others. I'm wondering if the usual summer beach/relic hunters are not finding much? Like me? 😅 I’m still around and still detecting but not finding much to post about. I’ve gotten a few silver coins over the past few weeks but nothing special just mercs and a war nickel. It’s been so hot that getting out is more of a chore than fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah, went out yesterday in the morning and all I got was 5 and 3/4 cents and half a 1920s silver ring. 🤣 I'm pretty much living vicariously by this gentleman 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
