rvpopeye Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 SOTB I snuck away before mom called today. ( Uhhhh, yesterday. I woke up in my chair !) Made it to my beach an hour after opening ,,,BUT 2 hours before LOW TIDE ! And I decided to repay Karma for that "most of" silver dime last trip with some cleanup , but who knows what that 13-15 ID will bring ????? Beach 1 recovery 3 , sens 19-20 , F2-0 , no disc. low and slow............ A couple of pop tops were 1st out. And then another that ID'd 13 , but 14 after 1st scoop and 18 after a couple more ! In DEEP too , the scoops kept comin' outta the swamped hole and I hit something solid @ ~12" ! Changed angle of attack and hit the solid again ?? Hmmmm no hardpack here ??? GOT IT ! a square foot of trap wire mesh arrrrrgh That woulda ruined someone's day if it made it to the surface in the surf. Time was almost up so switched recovery to 6 and moved a little faster towards the car. Checked around the bigger pieces of driftwood where people sit and over the ledge area where the dime was. No more targets , rinsed off and headed back to mom's place and just made it in time to do arts and crafts with her (OK I did the work while she watched ) I also tied a piece of yarn to her hearing aid with the other end tied to a safety pin to clip to her sweater . No more lost hearing aids ! (doubling the good karma from the beach cleanup........maybe enough for a RING next trip ???) 🖖 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 SOTB NOPE ! Didn't forget the boots either ! This time , I caught low tide and the surf was actually kinda tame yesterday too. Did a factory reset and went stock beach 1 , no adjustments. NOT A THING at the water's edge. Moved up on the towel line and managed a pull tab and a tent stake on the way back to the car... Had a nice talk with a conservation ranger in the lot, New head ranger in town and office closed without an appointment. (covid)...no answer on the phone . Maybe get my new pass next time ????? Oh BTW , I was cleaning up that dime and some crust came off the edge .....it was CLAD after all. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGH ! Skuh kuh kuh kuh kuh kuh , that's life for a Son Of The Beach ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something odd about having a detector and not using it! Glad you're not complaining, that makes you legit. 👍 Better luck next hunt! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
