You have to admit that with all those silver coins you've been finding, you've been lapping up the gravy. Now you've got to pay the piper and settle for the potatoes.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the fairgrounds treating you? I miss digging in the dirt! 11 hours ago, GB_Amateur said: Hey, come on.

But silver was like a new found girlfriend, very attentive from the start. Why did she have to just up and dump me like that? 😭 I like gravy..... but I guess mashed potatoes are fine every once in a while. Seriously though, It was a longer and well appreciated silver run. It also makes the next hunt more relaxing knowing I can't do worse. 😏 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Pickins I got a couple rings of bling this week + some green crusted wheaties , a fist full of clad , and pull tabs , lots of pull tabs since I found out a 1/10th oz coin of AU is the same ID # LOL ,,,,some day , when I least expect it , I guess. There sure are a lot of them here so the ratio is building fast . I l start skipping them by quitting time. Speaking for myself and my elbows we miss the beach ( being a son of the) and I managed to miss the week+ of negative low tides , in the day time even for some of them . However it looks like I'll be going to one of the biggest ones saturday , the 11am tide will be -.3 , not the -1.7 it was a couple days ago though. Gotta wake my scoop up from hibernation.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm a musician so I have an airtight excuse.... I just realized I posted my beach hunt in your beach thread. 🙄 No charge.

That way it seems I would just have to find a couple of pull tabs and some zinc pennies to beat you 😄 Now I have to actually find something good on my next hunt. 🙄 Spoiler alert, I did. ☺️ I hope you do well if you did get out to the beach today. 🤞 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoolofhardNox Posted March 22 Author Share Posted March 22 Beach hunt # 28 was back at my favorite beach. This is the beach that produced a lot of silver and a ton of clad. The goal was to hopefully get 1 or 2 silver coins, but also to just relax after last week’s hunt. I got there late at around 10:30 and headed to the area I did well at, hoping I missed some silver. When I got there I noticed the area adjacent to my spot seemed to lose some sand. This was an area that was too sanded in to hunt. So, I opted to start there instead of going over ground I already did. It immediately started to produce coins and lots of iron. I spent about 6 hours there and was very happy to have a way better day than I expected. It actually turned into a battle of the spoons vs tent stakes. 🙄 How can people lose so many spoons? I did have to deal with a lot of big iron, which unfortunately did not fit into my pouch, so I left it high above the water line. My car was simply too far away to bring it there. What I did find was a lot of clad including 3 bicentennial quarters, one Liberty V and two Buffalo nickels. But the silver stole the show. 9 silver coins including the Walking Liberty half, and the US minted 10 Centavos coin from the Philippines. Digging was rough as this area is packed with rocks. I usually don’t scratch coins when I dig, but this time I scratched 3 of them using the spade or screwdriver. Just unavoidable unfortunately. A much better hunt than I was expecting and very happy to find that many coins. I’ll probably try and be back there again next week, and maybe give the AQ a shot there. Or just a smaller coil to navigate the big iron better with the GPX. A nice, fun, and relaxing day at the beach 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Man, back in stride! You sure needed this after the last hunt. I like the Philippines coin, not necessarily rare but not one you see often, I didn't know it existed 😅 Guess you should hit this beach until you can't 🏆 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpopeye Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 And you worried you couldn't beat my hemostats ? 🤣 Just the spoons beat that thing , on usefulness alone.. Every time you start to hunt , the beach finds get nervous 🥸 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
