A Little Beach Gold To Start The Winter Season

[Compass]

Perhaps the El Nino impact is starting to be felt at our local beaches. The recent storms moved a little bit of sand around and it sure was therapeutic to dig a few targets from the wet sand again. The 3 gram scorpion pendant tests at 14K, the ring is silver and, I believe, the chain may be a lower karat gold.                   The watch is a vintage Seiko dive watch that looks relatively dry inside the case but I don't know if it can be or is worth restoring.         The beaches seem primed for some good hunting next week with favorable tides and good swells in the forecast. A little more treasure would be a great way to end the year!

Nice going on all those targets.....what was the detector used?

That watch may fetch you some money if listed on ebay.  Years ago when my dad died, I found his old seiko watch from the late 60s or early 70s.  It was an early battery operated electric watch.  A guy on ebay bought it off me. He restored old seiko watches.

Thanks Sinclair, Certainly more than the past few beach hunts and more than expected.

Thank you CPT, Even sweeter because I never saw another hunter all day.

Thanks Rick, Always nice to find something different. Kind of odd to not have any markings though.

Thanks Tony, I was using my TDI BeachHunter. Was tempted to use my new Manticore but I knew the TDIBH would handle the black sand better.

I appreciate the tip NCtoad.
