I Had A Feeling...

[F350Platinum]

... That despite some of my fields opening up, I really needed to get to the local large beach to get another hunt in. I generally respect and follow those feelings, a long time ago I had a feeling I should stop at a particular store to buy a lottery ticket, didn't, and someone won a million from that store that very day. ? Since then I act ?

Got there around 8AM this morning, it was windy and 42 degrees, but there were no clouds and I was dressed "warm enough", I put a Columbia fishing t-shirt under my long sleeve T, and had other warm stuff on.

The waves were pretty high, I thought the tides were pretty low, lower than usual anyway, so off I went. Today I just hunted the cuts and the "surf", this is a river.

Got a few coins, all really deep, some as deep as a foot. Had the D2 with my beach program, and the 13". I wasn't planning to go in the water. It was all clad at first but I got a few surprises later, we've had a lot of storms and wind lately.

First interesting thing I dug was way down the beach, I was talking to a nice lady and got a 64, a pull tab signal on the Deus. I've been reading @Compass's excellent post: "How Many Pull Tabs?"

I decided to dig them all today. That and foil, Zincolns, everything.

Dumped out my scoop and got this nice gold plated silver earring:

I'm going to have to check the large sparkly stone but I'm pretty sure it's a CZ. Still, first silver of the day ?

Hacked around for quite a while longer, just finding coins here and there, and finally got to the section of beach I started at, I noticed the tide was much lower than it was when I went along the water, swinging the coil out over the waves which had become slack.

I haven't seen the tide this low in a long time, it's probably a fall thing. Went right to the end and got a 93, thought I had another quarter. ?

Instead I got this nice .925 Quinceañera ring, sadly two stones are missing but the rest are in good shape.

Went back the way I came hunting the new cut, and reversed for one last pass on the other side of the building.

I got a 47 in the water and thought, "That's way too clear for foil", got my shoes and socks wet digging this little beauty out:

14K gold ring with a pink/red stone. I'm going to have it tested by my local jeweler who is always interested in what I find to see if it is man made, a garnet, or a ruby. Whatever it is it fits my wife's pinky and she is one happy woman. ?

Not that big a deal but it's the first gold ring I've found this season, I guess another visit with waders and the 9" coil is in order!

Now the coins, got the usual one of everything and 3 wheats, the oldest was 1921:

Here's the trash, guess you have to dig to get. ?

Follow your hunches, y'all... ?

Thanks NC,

Really didn't have any expectations today, beach season is over, and there's not much going on. There were no fresh coins, everything was deep or in the water. Going to have to go out further to see if anything else is there. ? lots of beach erosion brought out the wheats.

Thanks!

It was all tracking GB and the right amount of Audio Response that did it for me today. ?

I did get the earring in the pull tab zone, but the silver ring and gold ring were polar opposites. I just kept on digging the tabs. It was an 8 hour hunt, I was determined!

Thanks RVP,

Gotta buy dinner because I got the metals today ?. Was too tired tonight but will take my wife out tomorrow, hoping to do a field hunt and another beach hunt this week, favorable weather. ?

Cannot stress more how important it is to earn those Detecting Points™ ?

True and thanks!

Funny you should mention that, DanNM and I both got a 47 on the D2 today... ?
