Three Excalibur Gold, Rd #82, #83, #84

[Joe Beechnut OBN]

Had a real nice Low Monday, Neg .9 ..........the hardest thing. Deciding which beach to hit. Narrowed down to 3, the one I chose is not "AQ" friendly, and at this point I still don't feel safe walking into this spot with a PI...For many reasons.

Excalibur was perfect, hunting in PP, using the push button to check targets in Disc, Very fast and efficient. I've been using the "AQ' most of Oct, doing a lot of different testing and forgot how much I love the Excalibur also. Seems I had started feeling if I took the Excalibur I was missing targets. But after Mondays blowout I see it's still a very important part of the team. 

Walking out at this spot........ water was very low .........I went as deep as I could then started listening for targets and feeling/checking the bottom....... for the good stuff lies in a blackish/grey sandy shelly bottom, ......I started hitting some iron/nulls so slowly worked my way thru each and everyone..3 hours and 19 minutes I had three gold rings..then I went exploring...something I do that kind of helps plans out the next trip. Ended up about 4 hours total, never really found anymore openings...but things are moving. Onto another spot Weds...maybe the "AQ"..⚡

End totals 3 gold and 3 silver dimes...silver badly eaten by the bays nasty water. 

Stay Safe and Healthy..Joe

Short video of the first gold ring found, shows how the wind is whipping .........blowing off shore...water was nasty facing into...

I think 4 hours is a long hunt for you Joe. Why not bring both detectors ? To much to trek in ? Also , how often do you hit more than 2 beaches in 1 day ? I would think some areas are more wind protected than others , maybe a timing thing.

Once again another great hunt, way to go and keep up the good work.

Thanks Mike! I seen you got a whooper cigar band !! Nice save it that! 

I ended up taking my hat off and strapping it to a tree stump that was exposed from the lowtide. And I did not forget to go get it as I was leaving.

Thanks RR, been researching the Masonic ring. Took it to a old guy (91) who is a mason today. He did not recognize the lodge or any other clues. But I knew I was in trouble when he did not grab a set of glasses. But he did well considering.
