You are doing great.  Keep on killing it and enjoying your Equinox...I guess.  Lol.

Thanks, Chase - I will do my very best

The trash significantly decreased on the beaches I regularly hunt. Probably because I dug plenty of it + got better in identifying it. Not seldom, that I've got more coins than trash in the pouch - yipee

Another 2h on 2 beaches yesterday..

Here's the trash I found including surface finds (at least 2-3 crown and 1 aluminium bottletops), which I always take with me:

Coins I've found:

Still no summer holidays over here.

So I bought a new scoop:

It's the 170mm sito.. compared to my old scoop (which I've never used on the dry, because it weights over 2,5kg):

Quickly added an ash handle with some shrink tubing:

 

Hm.. I have mixed feelings so far.. I think my selfmade cheapo hand-scoop is still superior on the dry sand. If the sand is a little wet, you have to give it a real good shake.. the handle is a little too thick for my taste (have to try a T-handle perhaps, but couldn't get one at home depot with the correct dimensions..). The holes are 10mm, I think 12mm would be better on the dry.. anyway.. coins found after 1,5h:

12,60€ .. that's ok - I think I've found ~ 225€ by now.

Selfmade hand-scoop with fence wire - the sand literally just falls through. My goto scoop for fresh coins:

I made my own shaft and handle using a hard plastic shaft from an old shovel...plus made a grab handle from a hospital crutch...lol.

Sounds mad...but works perfect.

I will add some pics shortly.

Matt.

I have a pair of crutches lie in the cellar for future projects..

The sito scoop needs a somewhat odd handle diameter.. 36-37mm + the weld came through the shaft some.. I'll probably keep it though.

Not a great amount of cash on my last hunt:

But three old 1924 coins, a nice navi button and at least the earring turned out to be sterling silver

No one on the beach.. + it was super windy, I literally got sandblastet. The sand got shifted 20-40cm on some spots

 

Everyone is hanging out at the "Kieler Week" - the world's biggest regatta and sailing event .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiel_Week

One Week full of events and party in our city

1,5h on the beach today. Weather was good in the afternoon, so I found some clad:

 

And finally after all those hours !!! :

 

585 / 14k wedding band - yeeeesss! Oh boy, still can't belive it. I never thought I would find one on the dry sand. It weights about 11g.

Without being big-headed - that were my exact first thoughts After hundrets and hundrets of hours on our small beaches it really was about time
