Weekly Wrap Up Sep 16th - 19th

[Skull diver]

Amphibious week is the theme of this latest Friday update that I have been publishing for some time...

With a really uncertain weather picture and some pretty impressive waves, I've been trying to take advantage of the first hints of erosion where I could dare.I'm starting to not remember where and under what conditions I've intercepted gold, but I'm keeping a particular focus on continually varying spots.

I think I have given a massive cleanup in at least 4 places where in the past two months I seemed to be the only one still finding pieces.

Finding a single ring in hundreds of square feet covered on the bottom I am beginning to perceive it as an event of luck rather than skill.

So this is a new chapter of wetsand work and diving, alternating according to the will of the sea.

Have a great weekend You all 🙏🏼

Not to bad of a week, and I know that it will be picking up soon before the weather changes.

Look towards next week when things will get better.

Good luck and stay safe out there.

Nice haul.....The pendant in the last pic looks 18k or 22k. I'd like to see what the front of the stud earring looks like in the pic above it. Interesting design. Glad to know you respect the sea enough to only dive when it's safe. Sometimes the wet sand finds will surprise you.

You're right...18K pendant and 14K bracelet.

In the first picture there's a 9K wedding band among coins.

Downhere there's the stud  18K earring front.

Actually....I don't know if in another place on the earth, diamonds can be valued better...Here In Europe I can have a complete collection of them but if You don't bring a 1K piece, they don't even look at You🤬.

By the way I think it isn't real ice there🤣

What is the deep where you detect? How much od weights you use? I always find the most things at a depth of 1-1.5 meters than at greater depths. I assume that most people are at that depth or that they start swimming at that depth and then their rings fall off. What are your experiences with the detected findings, at which depths are there the most?

All that euro coins look like fresh drops.  It seems to me that those areas where there are no older and more rusty coins are less generous in detection findings. However, that didn't bother you to detect and find many beautiful things

Superb! I think it's a case of disclipline and dedication.

Great write-up as usual 😎

Actually, every beach with a different seabed and history makes for a specific approach to the depth.

Generally the first meters after the low tide line are more crowded and so plentiful of stuff.

On the other hand, some heavier things remains where once lost in deeper waters.

In the middle of winter it is not unusual to dive at 5 or 6 meters deep due to excessive sand amount in the summer, that force people to swim farther from shore and  when the erosion hits, easily the holes are deeper than usual.
