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

I didn’t buy from a big box store and I still didn’t get my Vet discount 🥴 I hope production gets cranked up a bit so everyone gets an MC. HH

The craftsmanship is quite nice. I updated the pics. 😅 It’s hard work trying to find a new beach to keep a nice flow of gold going to your pouch. There’s way too much competition even if you get to a place at the right time. This months gold count has dropped by quite a bit, but if we give up it will always stay at zero. May there be gold under your coil on the next swing 👍

Went out for another stroll at the beach. One of my first good targets was the broken piece of a class ring (I have quite a few from different beaches this year). The next two hours were just the usual clad and finally I dug my first silver coin for the day. A couple minutes later I dug my second silver. I spotted this low spot with lots of rocks and decided to hit it. I got a nice sound on the equinox and after a few scoops the leaf was laying there in two pieces. Picked it up to examine it and noticed it’s stamped 18k. There’s some hard to read letters on the back and I think it says Tiffany. The leaf tip the scale at 8 grams. Thanks for reading and good luck out there.

My guess is somebody may have found it already but let’s hope not. I don’t visit this beach often but I just might have to now, at least during storms. HH

Went for a little stroll at the beach and this is one of the finds for the day. I tried searching for the rest but came up empty. HH

Congrats on your first gold. Persistence pays of. Keep learning your detector, beaches, and don’t forget to also check the weather forecast for conditions in your area. Good luck.

Thanks. Ships ahoy my boys. Takes me back to my days in the Navy. There’s a high probability since I didn’t go to my usual place this time. An ounce of natural gold is by far more beautiful and takes a lot more skill to find. Wish good luck out there. The first thing that came to my mind was, it has to be fake. I have come across a few already. After I got home and inspected it I was ready to do backflips but decided on just doing the gold dance 🕺 It does seem like I find it every hunt but that’s not the case. I do get lucky on occasion and get a two, three day streak. Nobody gets everything and I am no exception. HH You are doing way better than me when I started the hobby. Keep up the great work. Now when you put it that way, it seems a whole lot. Most of my gold rings I have found are a gram or smaller. HH

I got out for 3 more hunts but unfortunately I missed the big waves this week. I did get gold every time I got out so that’s a plus. My first hint of the 3 netted a wheatie and a broken grad ring. The next hunt I lucked out and pull a small 14k with a diamond chip. The last hunt was today and it didn’t disappoint. I was debating if I should go out, and to where. The diamond on the ring tested good and the chain weighs 33.73g. HH

That’s one beautiful coin, and hope you find the other half. Congrats on the great hunting.

Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am on that 1.5h hunt. Congrats on the gold and silva.
