That's about all I get most times when I hunt a very small beach nearby, but paying attention to the tides and going when they are the lowest possible can turn some stuff up. Of course my beach is on a big sandy river, and the only rocks I encounter are the imported rip rap they use to keep the parking lot from being swept away. π€ Forgive me for kidding ya, but congrats on the gravity-defying photo and the sidelight to bring out the detail. At least you won't wonder where the hemostat is now. π 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Β I decided to leave the hemosΒ in my pouch for things stuck in rock crevices.Β Getting pics with the chromebook selfie cam is a supreme challenge .Β More so without sunlight.Β I figured at least it looked like what it was this time.π Β The 4" of frozen crust left from Saturday is getting a steady rain at 45* so all ground should be bare again when it stops. I probably could have dug through it but zero chance of disappearing diggings if I did . Shoveling the white crust trashed my elbows anyway so I needed the break .Β Β Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Back in the groove today with a couple of hours of snow free digging. π In 40* and 40kt gusts. Needed to layer up and only lasted 2 hours (probably would have only made it to 3 hours if it was warm and calm.anyway.π) 5 clad dimes , 3 zincolns , 1 key and a ring . Relax , it was bling , adjustable and almost nothing but rust. But it IS a RING !Β Β 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvpopeye Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Two layers of wool and fleece lined pants with a rain coat wind breaker was the key .Β Just happened to have it all laying around.. (Might get slammed on the 3rd+4th so not time for the cargo shorts just yet. Summah is still a long way off uptah camp.) Did it again yesterday 2 clad dimes and 3 zincs.Β Β The dimes were "thanks for hunting" on my way back to the rig walking through a parking area with 3 stinkin' zincs and junk in the pouch.Β Β Β Β There's a pretty hefty pile of fair junk for only 4 hours too.Β Β Β Β Β I think I'll save any curiosity items from the pre season hunts for a pic in case someone recognizes any of it.Β (Great bennie of hanging out here on D/P !
