  1. Coins and a ring is not too shabby in my book. πŸ‘ The sea and the wind will have it's way with the sand....
  2. What a great discovery stupot ! Davey Jones' Locker ! Looks like the finds will keep on coming too ! WTG and keep at 'er..πŸ––
  3. Nice piece of treasarrrrrr ! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈπŸ₯Έ
  4. That'd be a great hunt in my world.πŸ₯Έ(62 cents all clad and a tire balance weight yesterday...) The silver "honker" ring has an interesting design. Maybe a story too ?
  5. Nice spot. Glad you posted pics . And , another WOW !πŸ₯Έ
  6. Some nice finds . Looks like a store display ! 🀯
  7. I bet you sure weren't expecting a gold nugget ! 😏 WTG okara !
  8. Rip canals ?😳 Probably less finds cuz people had to pawn their jewels to pay for the site ? Parking lots might well be the true pirates of the beaches these days.... You did pretty well though.πŸ‘ Maybe the beach knew it was your last visit and gave up a "thanks for coming on down for wifey's birthday" haul ? πŸ€”
  9. Well fought battle of the junk ! Seeing the pics it looks like you earned all of 'em the hard way. Your old friend knew where to swing a coil over without a doubt.
  10. Well , your nicer jewelry ratio just went up ! πŸ€— WTG .
  11. Update on dates after some cleaning...now I can tell which is which ! V - 1898 Buff Nic - ?still very iffy but for a second I thought I saw 1916 IHP - 1904 Wheatie - 1911. Checked the shore for the HPs , nope. Also just found out that the septic system that will be covering the whole patch is scheduled for spring of '25 arrrrgh. Today ?cleaning those coins and maybe going over to the track infield where I heard rumors of a seated dug not long ago......
  12. I really don't think I filled in a hole with it inside VL. πŸ€” But thx for pointing that out . 😎 I was so psyched from the old coins, I forgot I already found a dozen wheaties last year....a few days left before predicted rain though. Can't wait to clean them up (if possible?). We were on a pretty steep slope at times so still haven't gone all the way to the bottom on the shore , NOT a beach . Will check that later . Still have minimal hope but the backup (540) pair is nice and shiny , even the vinyl parts ! UPDATE: And they didn't work ! even with the charge cord in. They did work this april ...?? (DID work with the TRS cord though.) Update on the update: Old HPs NOT on the beach. Looks like time to be lookin' up those avantree taurus units.
  13. Old stock 800 HPs was a cheap price for those 1sts in one hunt ! I can grid the whole place There's even an old foundation under some of it.Much of it is kinda jungled out , will look at that closer in the spring but the plants +trees there are keepers . 😩 No regrets coyote.
  14. OOOOOOOIE ! So , there was a coin and stamp show in the exhibition hall uptah camp at spinach central . I called an old friend that collects whose dad owned a coin and stamp shop to see if he was going and yup yup he was. I geared up and went over early to detect while waiting . He shows up right on time and told me he was taking me to his house on a tidal lake it was an old parcel (1700s?)with an early local stage road running through it. 😳 So there I am with my detector. He mentions that his brother found a buffalo in the woods there once . Good enough for me ! Where ? and within an hour we dug a 1883 V nickel , a ???? buffalo , an ???? indian head and a 1941 wheatie . No zincs , no pulltabs and just one old canslaw . All firsts for me. Letting them dry before touching/cleaning . I couldn't tell they weren't modern but he could ID and even see some date #s invisible to me ! Born with "the gift" I guess....well he did work in the coin shop on saturdays for many years. I did manage to misplace my headphones , shut it off so he could hear the detector. We went back over our trail through the woods as well as we could but no luck. They were the ML stock ones over 3 years old and the vinyl was all peeling off so boo hoo.πŸ€— Have another BTLL pair anyhoo......and YES I'll be going back ! Might even ask neighbors permission. arrrrrrr ! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ I offered all coins to him but he wasn't hearing it. So I bought him a half pound of crab and a pound of haddock to take home and got another half pound of crab to make us each monster super sized 1/4 pounder crab rolls toasted in coconut oil for suppah chummy ! So wicked good yessuh. Dang nice day uptah camp . OH ayuh ! 😎 Sorry folks no pics yet . πŸ€₯ 87* all orb and winds<10 , but in the woods next to a "salt" lake was very nice.
  15. There ya go toad , gettin' froggy in the tubln' river . Not too shabby !πŸ‘
  16. Shrink tubing comes in a version with sealer inside . Might be all you need to seal it back up. Locktite makes a liquid vinyl in a squeeze tube that could work well under the shrink if not using the sealing type or even all by itself ! Good luck with the fix. Those coils aren't cheap ! 😎
  17. I'm a little late to this thread...the view from my porthole. Every ship has to scrape off the barnacles or they hold it back. πŸ₯Έ And to all not barnacles . May the finds be with you.πŸ––
  18. Even the junk looks pretty good.😎 Smooth water envy.πŸ––
  19. πŸ‘Nice looking baby 90403 ! (WAY more fun getting the hook back on those babies! πŸ₯Έ)
  20. I'd say you won the fishing derby reeling in booty that day no matter what he caught in the water Amw ! What did the younger say when he saw your dirt catches 🀯 ?
  21. DAVE Raking with a magnetic rake has been berry berry good to YOU ! πŸ€— She's workin' , keep it in the truck . Did ya get another permission from your visitors ?
  22. Oh, yuz guts perskeverensk eh? Makes ya a better dirt pirate , I'll tell you ! Sure paidskoff this timesk. Olivesk is me goil . Yuz means the Sea Hag no doubtsk. If she's around , watchk out for her goonsk on that spotsk! Some areas here are getting pretty hard too Dr.B . My elbows hate that stuff !πŸ™„
  23. I just read 14 pages . Garrett sure got their publicity money out of that model release statement ! Interest is building to tsunami levels and some are already on the buy list....πŸ‘ WTG ! I think the upgrade part is a great path. I look forward to reading the posts about the rest of it after it's in our dirty little hands. Don't judge a book by the cover. Let's see how she fights in the wild arrrrrrrrrr ! πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ
