A Week In Pompano Beach

[tvr]

Had a nice week. Got to visit middle son; ate too much, got tanned and got some metal with the Excal. Four days of flat water, two of a little chop and one with chop that was tough to work. Did about half slope hunting and half in the water; left the dry to others. What a luxury to be able to clearly see the scoop when shoulder deep in the water!

Not much jewelry; three pieces of silver (ring, earring and charm) and two gold looking stainless steel. Lots of change 37 Quarters, 34 dimes, 19 nickles and 171 pennies; no foreign coins on this trip.

Next adventure is to find a spot on the local beach devoid of metal and start over with known targets to set up and learn the AQ.

Cheers,

Looks Good TVR! Nice saves on the Silver!!.....Winter tides are coming so hopefully we can get into some untouched areas..

    Your ratio of finds sounds about right for our area! The drops are not nearly what they used to be here, and are not being replenished! Even coins are disappearing due to cashless meters!

     There is good stuff still to be found, but alot of renurishment sand has to be moved out to get to it anymore! That used to be the exception, but now very common to have multiple renurishment's a year!!👍👍

I looked over about a three mile area for some cuts and did not find any good ones. Sand was soft and the way the slope come down from dry area just looked like replenishment stuff. Thank you for confirming that. I was surprised by how much change the beach held; a lot more than some other areas I've been.
