Call Someone Who Cares - Memorial Day Beach Hunt

[F350Platinum]

Finally got a chance to meet up with Chase at a local beach, I was going to water hunt hoping for more rings, brought the Manticore with the M8. I wore waders to get out further in the water, low tide was soon after we got there.

It was 46 degrees when I got there, but 46 in the spring is not the same as 46 in the winter. 🤔 The water temperature is 68 now so it's just comfortable enough to go in and lose some jewelry!

Chase did a little better than me, the river was sanded back in from a replenishment, most of my old spot was heavily sanded over the rocks and pebbles. 🥲 Guess it's fresh drops for the summer.

Using the M8 coil was no treat, personally I really don't like it. It's too small and does not have the same water dynamic as the fabulous M9, it falses more easily on iron, and feels like I'm pushing a brick around in the water. As I recall I didn't like it very much at a trashy iron site either. I find the M15 much easier to work with! 

With sensitivity at 29, I was able to find very deep stuff, but always had difficulty locating it despite bringing my bigger and heavier Stainless scoop. 😵 Pinpointing is great on the M9 and M15, but the M8 seemed to have issues, probably because it was harder to find with the scoop in the murky water. 

Here's the trash, I don't take too many prisoners in the water, and threw out about 4 bottle caps: 

And now the finds: 

15 coins, $1.83, a possibly silver earring with stones in it, a small butterfly pendant, and a Samsung Galaxy S24 cell phone. 🤯 Waterlogged unfortunately, it will take some time to dry out.

No rings were found by me, but it was a good time other than all the people that showed up during the day, and the people with Jet Skis that created a constant wave action. 🤬

Not bad. Glad you got @Chase Goldman aired out some.  You need him to help keep you on your toes. That's hard to do in waders.
