4th Beach Hunt Gets The Gold And More

[F350Platinum]

Made a 4th trip to the beach today, the tide was supposed to be the lowest for a while, and a pretty strong southwest wind. It was 63 when I got there, got cloudy and rained a little, but the sun came out and it went up to 77, so it was a perfect day. 

I spent most of my time in "the spot", the small area of this beach I've got so much from. Today I started with the 9" coil, and right away dug a Buffalo nickel. After about an hour of using the 9" which I had intended to go in the water with, I realized it was falsing way too much on iron, so I switched to the 11x13" coil and turned up Reactivity. 

The 9" is great in the water but not so much above the waterline. The 11x13 has unbelievable separation capability, and it did not disappoint.

It found this Barber dime in this iron accretion:

And this 1893 Barber quarter under this massive ball of iron rust.

In both cases I heard the iron and the high tone as it should have been. Wow. I guess I have this detector dialed in! 

Here's the haul today:

Barber quarter, dime, a bunch of small targets that were jewelry, 4 buffalo nickels, one V nickel and 4 wheats. I had to break the iron and mineral ball the dime was in to get it out, I did it very carefully but still have some crud on the front and can't see the date. If anyone knows how to remove the iron crud I would be happy. 🤔

After about 4 hours of searching this spot, I decided to walk the beach at the level of the ring I found which I'll show ya in a bit. I found some modern coins and a few bits of jewelry, but it was a long walk. When I was back near the truck I got my "thank you for coming" prize, just at the waterline:

A nice silver ring.

The trash was pretty heavy today: 

One huge antique sinker and bits of all kinds of metal.

Got some modern coins:

But the best thing all day came from the higher beach near the top of the sluice in the first photo, I got a 47 and dug this:

 

A sadly broken but really old signet ring in 10k.

It has to be somewhere around 100 years old. I was thrilled. 

Never got in the water, didn't need to!

What a Beauty!! Nothing like seeing that color in the scoop!! Wow!! 

Just a guess I would say your close on the date, 20's to the late 30's, the fineness stamp fits that period along with the style. 

By the way Super Lowtide Saturday in the Bay.. Negative

Wow! Great hunt. Looking forward to seeing day 5 results!

Another fine hunt in the books for you, now you need to spread out 10 more feet around that area and get the rest.

good luck and stay safe out there.

Nice job!!! But I'm really liking the petrified corn with dime. You should have poured resin over it and made a paper weight. 🤣That silver ring looks pretty old too. Good luck when you head back out in another day.

Thanks Joe D,

Odd that because relics are hard to dig right now, I'm finding them and old coins on the beach. 🤣 

You were only off in your prediction by 1 day!

Sure beats always finding modern coins, but they do add up.

Problem is I don't have a trailer large enough for a payloader, if anything is beyond the ~12" reach of the Deus 2 it can stay there a bit 😬
