Four More Gold Rings For The AQ Impulse..

[Joe Beechnut OBN]

I'm getting so old.......I was messing around Saturday thinking the tide was at 5 o'clock. I go to check the tides at 1:30 and seen low tides were at 3 pm and I had a long drive...OUCH..Late

Ended up getting in the water at 2:40 pm..walked out ..first target of the day..Gold Signet. I put myself in the area for the last few times out with the excalibur I have got a few non silver coins from the general area. 

I ended up working about a 100 foot strip and maybe 20 feet wide..over and over..One thing I have always noticed with the Excalibur, you can get a target from one direction and then spin around 

And try it from another and it is not there..same goes with the AQ...so I was doing "X" and "O"'s most of the afternoon. And it paid off... I got 9 silvers, several nickels, one a Buff...and 4 gold rings. Something I did notice of late is fresh drops at this spot have increased due to some boundary changes of the community  And they are shallow so any target at this beach I have to dig all. Something some may not believe but I never dug one piece of trash this hunt.....other then a bathing suit clip..and a lead bullet.. 

Also this trip out was to get a final hour count on the battery system I worked up...Total runtime with the tube battery was 8 hours and 31 minutes...(end voltage was 13.1) Not bad at all, I had calculated 7 hours and 46 minutes..glad it turned out better then expected.....(And special thinks to Carolina for tell me how good these batteries are with his MDT's) Seems they will do the trick so I ordered 4 more..

Good Luck to everyone out there ..HH and Be Safe..Joe

Joe... I don't think you're getting old but are aging like a fine wine. Congrats on the 4 gold hunt, but more so on your accomplished battery improvement.

Two things come to mind!!!

Joe you are killing it!

I do not have a spot to hunt remotely close to what yours looks like! 

Congrats!

I'd be annoyed if you live near me

LOL ... he is near me. He has put a lot of research into old swim spots and it pays off. I hunt newer community beaches and that pays off too. He hunts more hours than I do, and gives so much back to us all that there is no way I'd ever be annoyed. I don't know how he stays in that dry suit in the heat. I have a couple cuts that I need to heal before I get back into the murky bacteria filled waters here. When it is cooler, I do waders and during winter add the trapper gauntlets and stay dry. There is just so much shore line here that no one really covers all the places people swim and loose stuff.

Great hunt OBN! Can hardly wait 'til I get to hunt with an AQ.

Great hunt and nice job on your skills to locate those items.

Wish there was a place around here for someone like me to find things like that.

Happy hunting and good luck.

PS. Should a place like that exist around here please stay away.

That is metal detecting perfection!

- Lots of gold- check

- Old gold- check

- Lots of silver- check

- No trash- check

- New mod exceeds expectations- check (looks great too!)

I   don't  now what your grand total is in gold but when you hit 500 you are home is  officially considered a jewelry store.I think they should name the next AQ after you.

WTG Joe congratulations on the 4 Gold day.

I like the "I feel some crunchies".   Great to hear the better than 8 hr run time with the battery pack. After watching your video I should have no problem transitioning over to the AQ.

Ok, enough!  Now you're just showing off.  Heck, I count bullets as finds, not trash.  Bathing suit clip?  Well, I guess it depends on what it's attached to....  🤔

I'm glad you joined here.  Always good to be reminded it's still out there if you do things right.
