At The Beach 2 - Some "sorta" Gold


Recommended Posts

Another morning at the beach. Weather is stellar here, the Camping Gods are with me. 84 and pretty dry, onshore wind. The tides are with me too - when I go out early it is low tide. Lotta beach to cover. It gets eaten up by 10 but I've already hit it.20210716_063808.thumb.jpg.191b6f6261b191533365dee839802eb4.jpg

I get out at sunrise, no one on the beach. I was on the towel and tent line today, covered about a mile. Saw a kid with an AT-like detector, his girlfriend had his shovel. Watched him for a bit and he was golfing, so I knew he wouldn't find much.

But I did 😁 not great but standard for this place so it seems. Trash was minimal, the bottle caps weren't an issue for me since I cranked IB to F2=3. All bottle caps were picked up from the surface. Pull tabs were a different story tho. Got me some stainless hardware. 😀 There are lots of tent stakes here too but they always show at -5 to -8, so I don't pull many. With IB at the mentioned setting a bottle cap is going to be 12/13 or 14/15, but you also get a -5 to -8 on the back swing. Easy.20210716_102928.thumb.jpg.a84f369b405fbc5cc6ca1c64ae8cfb09.jpg

Every day I seem to get one of every coin, don't know why but I'm fine with it. All modern.20210716_103633.thumb.jpg.e45d86d4422aef2751fe343fac7d546a.jpg

Favorite find of the day is this rose gold Pandora "Mom" charm. It's 14k plated 925 sterling, with CZ (cubic zirconia) stones. It was a weak 7.20210716_103712.thumb.jpg.376fdfd9689ae7c4d913a568b4ce1017.jpg

As usual it went right to my wife. 😀 They sell for around $50. I hunted around for the rest of the charm bracelet, someone probably dug it but missed this one.

One thing I haven't mentioned. During this trip I am using Recovery Speed 2. Finding stuff routinely at 10" to over 12" is telling me I'm doing right?

Another good day for you, with some nice finds.

I am sure that your wife gets most of your finds that she can wear, so get back out there and get something really good for her. (she told me to say that)

Good luck and happy hunting!

The wives always seem to pluck the good stuff from us 😄 Nice small piece of gold!!!! Sound like you had a good time hunting. Beach hunting is extremely relaxing for me. Keep posting them beach hunts.
