The Seeker

I ordered mine yesterday and can’t wait to receive it and take it out for a spin. Oscar

I should throw some back, but not too deep so someone else gets the rush of finding them. I’ll post it up and see if I get any interest for them. A few bucks for gas wouldn’t hurt. HH

At least that’s what I thought for a few seconds before reality hit. I didn’t get out much during the summer months and when I get a chance all I found was this junk/plated stuff. I got out for the recent storm and all the spots I hit were a bust. I had great 2023 and I was hoping to go out with a bang but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Thanks for looking and good luck to all in 2024. Happy new year to my fellow pirates 🥳

It was coated with something resembling silver. Makes you sort of wonder if all the wear on it is from the tumbling on beach or the crappy craftsmanship 🤔🙃

Not the kind you want to find. Nowadays you can find anything and everything at the beach. I’m glad I wear gloves during my hunts. Stay safe and protected out there. HH

Thank you and good luck out there.

I was surprised too since I usually spend hours looking. Good luck out there to you too. It’s a nice and simple design that looks good. HH

Went out for a two hour beach hunt today. There was nothing in the wet sand or the slope so I decided to hunt the washes. I found the silver ring in one wash and the 375 (9k) gold ring in another. It’s my first 9k ring and now I need a 24k. Thanks for looking and HH.

In the past I have counted it as broken ring not an actual one. I just wanted to see what others counted them as. There’s a lot of people that count even silver and other non precious metals as part of their ring count for the year. I was just wondering on this forum what pieces of gold rings were counted as. I personally, only count gold rings. As far as silver coins, if it’s as a whole even if thin I count them. If it’s broken/cut in half I don’t count them. When it comes to Spanish silver, I don’t have to worry about it since I will probably never find any as a beach hunter 😔

The socal storm came and went but I still decided to go out today. I went out just hoping for wheat back and that was all. The hunt started very slow but I wasn’t surprised since the beach was sanded in. I hunted one spot for about an hour and then call it quits since I wasn’t finding much. I walked south a couple hundred feet and so a few rocks barely exposed so decided to do a little gridding. My second target was the broken class ring. After that I found aluminum and few pennie’s I kept going since I had already found more than I was expecting. Later I stayed finding fishing weights. I got this high VDI (in the 90’s) signal on the manticore and dug a pyramid fishing weight. I checked the hole again and found another fishing weight, a long one this time. I rechecked the hole once more and found a buffalo nickel. I kept gridding this particular area but couldn’t find anything else besides fishing weights and more pennies. I wasn’t feeling anymore here so I decided to go North. I went further north than where I started. This particular spot didn’t have anything special about it but I decided to grid it. I started finding a few coins, some pennies mixed with quarters and nickels. Around an hour later I hit the small 14k ring with 12 diamond chips. As this point a was ecstatic so the rest of the hunt didn’t really matter but just kept going. I spent another 30 minutes there and found two silver dimes (I think one is a barber). After this place I decided to go check out this one spot further north. I walked for a long time doing a zig zag but didn’t find anything. I even stopped at another place showing a few rocks but nothing showed up besides aluminum. At this point I was done so I turned around. I looked where I came from and picked a straight line to detect on my way back. I walked for a while and got this loud signal with a 94 VDI. I shoved my scoop about 4-6” down and pulled it out. Checked the hole and the target was in the scoop. I tossed it and this silver disk popped out. It was a Franklin half and I just couldn’t believe it. I checked the area around it and there were no other heavy targets so I turned off the detector and called it a day. Thanks for looking and good luck out there. I believe this year is the year of the broken rings, I think I have around 7 of them already. Would you counted as a ring or just a piece of gold?

Nice looking finds. I like using a black light when there’s a cluster of tiny diamonds. If one of them glows they are probably real. HH

Un/fortunately the chain and two bracelets I have found with the manticore have been a little bigger than this earring. I have found a few with the equinox so I knew that Manicure should be better. Looking forward to see the chains and other gold finds you snag with the Manticore. HH Aluminum seems to hit harder than gold unfortunately. The tiny can slaw drives me nuts since they sound so nice. HH

Holy mackerel, I mean trout 😎 Those are some beautiful fish. I also enjoy fishing but mostly for large mouth bass. Here in CA we don’t have nice rivers or lakes like other states unfortunately so other hobbies take priority. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your next trip.

Well, I think it just might. Found this little guy at the beach today. It was hard to recover due to the black sand, night time and no pin pointer. It’s marked 14k Turkey and weighs a whopping .37 grams. HH

The discoloration is where the mounting pin for the brooch was at. It is also the place where it broke in two pieces. I search the webs and I couldn’t find one like it so I have no idea if it’s a genuine Tiff. But it’s gold, and that’s good enough for me 👍 HH
