Diamonds For Days !


Recommended Posts

Finally had some fun hunts. 3 straight days , 5 hours each hunt. Winds/surf/tides were in full effect. Hit it while it's occurring guys , not a day or 2 after. Ride the high tide out. Timing is critical as it started to fill in each passing day. The wind was howling so much that I had to turn my ear sideways into the wind to be able to hear. Targets were bleeding/washing out the 1st day , then I had to dig deeper. Oddities : quarters were up high , dimes down low. Jewelry was all low. Nothing in the flats , all on the slope. Over 3 days I only dug 2 pulltabs and NO bottlecaps ! A 1st for me. There was an ungodly amount of tent stakes and iron.

About 10 rings. 4 pieces have real diamonds. The David Yurman 925 diamond initial pendant goes for $300-350 new. Small silver diamond ring has a TC stamp , don't know if that's for Tiffany. Nice tungsten diamond ring and 10k diamond ring and 18k band. It was nonstop digging. Nice to not walk for miles on end. About $16 in clad. Most of the trash I tossed. GL & HH...

Nice work there Kob! Congrats on the gold & other goodies๐Ÿ˜..I hit a spot for a few days during the recent high wind/high surf event, ended up with 4 gold and some silver. Loads of targets, the clad was driving me nuts so switched over to tone mode to weed out the clad and just target the gold signals, was very fun indeed!

You mentioned having to turn your head so you could hear due to the wind, does your head phones have weep holes? If so you might want to put some tape over the holes If you haven't already.. My AQ headphones have weep holes, I put tape over them and it helped keep the noise out during high winds..

During the winter I will wear a full hood that covers head phones then down to my neck. My friend Mike Guard came up with that. Something else I did a few years ago and it worked was I ordered a fur like covering for the (HP) shells, similar to what they use for microphones in windy weather. Lasted a few months but looked rather crazy.

Great beach hunts. Nice going. Always a pleasure when the good items are closer together than walking long distances to get them. But you dig a lot more holes when targets are plentiful. Love seeing the gold and silver everyone pulls out.

Love the Gold with Diamonds! One of my favorite wedding band design.ย 

You find a lot of sun glasses?ย 

Those literally washed up while I was digging a target. Summertime I find quite a few. I'm paying more attention to them over the last couple of years as some that look like junk are actually name brand high ticket items.
