3d Time Is A Charm! Water Hunt 3

[F350Platinum]

Thanks Colonel,

Had to change tactics, I'm learning about winds and tides. I was hoping the NW wind would flatten the river with the tide going out, but like the last time it was blowing like that, I was confined to shore. This time I thought of the other beach, it was an hour trip to get there and I didn't want to waste it. ?

The whole point of these forays is to get in the water. It's not worth hunting the beach at all.

Well I'm glad to see the sun came out for you, F350! ?

Well done again and congrats on the silver!

Another hunt with some nice finds again, but you still haven't recovered a car yet.

Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there.

Nice one 350 !

But MANNNN that first pic looked BRUTAL !?

Extra points for getting out of the car !

I don't think you really need more advice......?

Thanks Cap'n,

It came out for good just before my coil died. ? Got a chance to warm up some getting all those dimes. 89 after 89. ?

Noticed that copper memorials ID higher than clad dimes now.

I guess with all those jellyfish the kiddies don't drive 'em into the surf ?

Thanks VL, it was a tough day but I'm better for it. Glad I can still do this stuff.

Thanks RVP,

I tried to make it look worse but the wind was ripping through where I took the pic. ? Hadn't put the warm stuff on, so that photo is zoomed from the parking lot. ?

3 foot waves aren't much for the intrepid, but add 42 degrees, a current, and 20mph winds and you think twice.

I've tried getting to the trough on warm days on Atlantic beaches with 3-5 foot waves, but it's like getting mugged. Don't know how the water hunters do it. ?

 Yeah ,  Bobbing for Dollars !  

But look at what is out there ! JoeOBN  bobbed a little too much that one time but he's still doing it . Remember that Jethro cereal bowl of rings pic ?

Worth doing it IMO . I have some "black neoprene seal costume "  but that dry suit is the BALLS !  GO JOE !

Calm water is a major plus without a doubt.  Not to mention the warm wash those southern beaches have.  Neither of which are seen much uptah camp.

I remember the first time I wore my 18" rubber boots beach detecting and a small wave broke about 25' from me so only wash hit me , maybe only 4-5 inches worth.No problemo , right?  Wellll , It went right up the side of that 18" in a flash like spiderman  and cooled my feet down really good ! It was March ..?

Had wool socks on though so kept swingin' yup yup. ? OOOie !

I was strictly a dirt guy until I started pulling gold and silver jewelry from around the watering holes, I'm hooked lol.   I used to only chase copper and silver coins, now........... I'm digging every piece of junk known to mankind ?

NOW I'm digging every piece of junk known to mankind .........That is Funny!!

Same happened to me as far as water n dirt..hunted the land for a year, got a excalibur ..took me 3 month to find gold but after that I wanted nothing to do with hunting the dirt.
