Far, Far Away From Shore

[Skull diver]

In the common imagination, beach hunting is based on the first few feet of shoreline, sometimes at the top, sometimes at the edge of an eroded step, sometimes in flooded pools after a decent tide.

All of this in my area is out of the question and being forced to enter the water and totally submerge, today, after three sessions I summarize what I am observing.

On the first day, in a spot I hadn't been to in over 10 years, I pulled out a triple ring and amazingly not far from where I found a twin 10 years earlier.

Finally, the first piece of 2024🤔.

On the second day, a really thin ring, different spot, and really unusual water depth.

It all ends today, with the third session in the same spot as yesterday, but this time even deeper at about 5 meters and very far from the shore.

A man's wedding ring, after a century of other much thinner and lighter finds.

The outer sandbar may remain the final frontier.

Rarely, pits can open at such depths, and if they do, it is generally because of a play of currents with which one should not mess around.

I am considering a floating platform of the bodyboard kind, to be kept on the surface as a safety device for a return to shore or at least to have something to cling to effortlessly and return to shore with the help of the board and fins.

By the way, finally some shines.

Very nice hunt and some nice gold for your hard work.

Glad to see you get something for your effort this time around.

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

Nicely done.  Safety first!!!  It the triple ring a Trinity Ring?  It appears from the photo that one ring is slightly rose, another is slightly white and the other to be yellow gold.  It could just be the lighting also.

You're right.

Nice finds!

Nice series of gold rings. Sometimes it pays to think outside of the box. Treasure is where you find it and not always where we think it should be.

Got me thinking about hunting new ground.    I remember watching film of snorkelers/ scuba divers using a ( vacuum) to uncover finds.  This could be of big help right here where I'm sitting.  ( A heavily sanded in beach) like many.    We have nice holes to slip into between shore and the first sandbar.  Unfortunately once out there, we are walking on loose sand. Makes one wonder " What lays below".   Wouldn't surprise me if a mobile unit with a video screen isn't already out there.     Huh

Well done.  Thank you for the report and I do think you are on the final frontier unless you find a ship wreck.

These days I'm afraid the main goal is to strive for immediate overburden removal, because tons of new sand have literally buried 90 percent of the nearest spots.

It begins that time when the real treasure is to intercept a pit where you have some opportunity to listen for signals.

After all, it is always like that, more than a moment....
