 What a great hunt. When you have the power of the ocean   to  separate all the different metals by  density then finding that location  where it dropped   off the heavy one is what it is all about.Here location is everything.All my plus 4  gold days were always made in these spots. The gold  lying on the clay with only a couple of inches of clay are sometimes the easiest hits of all.I am talking about the power of the  Great Lakes in my situation and they  do a good job of  separating too but without your big tides.

I think this is only my second time getting four gold rings in one hunt. It feels good when you find a spot that’s classified properly.  I’ve come across a few beaches where heavier rings were mixed in with the light stuff. I guess that’s Mother Nature way of messing with us beach hunters.

Hallelujah !!!!  Great finds!!! I sure could use a beach right now, were getting 14'' of snow right now. No detecting for me anytime soon. Thanks for the pic's

I like the snow but can only endure a couple hours. I spent a year in Great Lakes Illinois and I don’t miss that place one bit. Stay safe.

Thats a good run, congrats.

Great hunting with some very nice finds for sure!

Keep up the good work and good luck on your next outing.

Nice job! what detector do you have?

Great job and thanks for the view of what is out there.  I had the feeling the waves had done some classification and I would have loved to have stayed longer on the beach on Friday.

Thanks also for the 'get a couple of towers away' thinking.  If I get out and see someone working my way then I'll either jump behind them or pickup and go to another beach.  I hate to be crowded.

I was using the Equinox for this hunt.

These finds weren’t from this storm but the one before.

I was there Friday and I saw a guy with a pulse induction gridding following the tide down. I went back up to the dry sand to pass him, I was planning to start at a specific place which was 4 towers away.  He saw me walking and he decided to follow me.  I got to where I wanted to start hunting and he passed me just far enough for his detector not to interfere with mine and started detecting there. This guy is quite a piece of work, he’s a veteran Detectorist who can’t fill he’s holes or even take his trash he digs, leaving it besides the holes. Sorry for the rant but this was quite annoying so I had to share.

Yes, there are some guys out who dig a hole and put their tent stake up like a prized kill and leave it for others to find again.  It is irritating and I wonder what they actually find but they don't get it all.  

A couple of years ago I had words with a guy who would dig with a short hand scoop.  He would leave a sharp edged hole and not leave much dirt around it so it was like a 'trap' he made.  We screamed at each other over a few months or avoided each other but he is not out any more when I am there.

I wonder if it’s the same guy.  I know of 3 people who use a short scoop and two of them hunt with a PI and the other with an Equinox.
