I Guess I‘m In.. Kind Of Logbook

[Chase Goldman]

Are you still only "kind of" in on the Equinox?  Lol.  

[Sinclair]

I‘m in, but it‘s kind of a log book ..

If you have a suggestion for an appropriate thread-title, let me know   

[Chase Goldman]

Just poking a bit of fun.   The title came across very tentative and non-committal (I guess I'm in... etc) initially.  Yet your log book posts would repeatedly show these killer finds (despite the bottle caps and trash, which is just an occupational hazard of beach detecting regardless of which detector you use) so I just thought the title became more ironic as time marched on and your finds accumulated and the posts bumped the thread up the page.  You are doing great.  Keep on killing it and enjoying your Equinox...I guess.  Lol.

Signed,

Jealous Chase

Turned out, it's 925 silver or at least silver plated?

Nice finds!  Not even close to an expert on jewelry, so my comment might be totally bogus.  I can't imagine any standards where '925' can be used for either solid or plated.  I'm voting for solid sterling.  Then again, I don't know what the 'PC' means, unless it's a politically correct ring size.  ?

That pc got me stumble, too. It is so thin, it doesn‘t really matter anyway 

Did a short hunt today at my nearest beach.. ~12€ and finally a wedding band in the scoop:

Figured it‘s just a pretty much worthless tungsten ring, nice find though

Thanks, Chase - I will do my very best

The trash significantly decreased on the beaches I regularly hunt. Probably because I dug plenty of it + got better in identifying it. Not seldom, that I've got more coins than trash in the pouch - yipee

Another 2h on 2 beaches yesterday..

Here's the trash I found including surface finds (at least 2-3 crown and 1 aluminium bottletops), which I always take with me:

Coins I've found:

Still no summer holidays over here.

So I bought a new scoop:

It's the 170mm sito.. compared to my old scoop (which I've never used on the dry, because it weights over 2,5kg):

Quickly added an ash handle with some shrink tubing:

 

Hm.. I have mixed feelings so far.. I think my selfmade cheapo hand-scoop is still superior on the dry sand. If the sand is a little wet, you have to give it a real good shake.. the handle is a little too thick for my taste (have to try a T-handle perhaps, but couldn't get one at home depot with the correct dimensions..). The holes are 10mm, I think 12mm would be better on the dry.. anyway.. coins found after 1,5h:

12,60€ .. that's ok - I think I've found ~ 225€ by now.

Selfmade hand-scoop with fence wire - the sand literally just falls through. My goto scoop for fresh coins:

I made my own shaft and handle using a hard plastic shaft from an old shovel...plus made a grab handle from a hospital crutch...lol.

Sounds mad...but works perfect.

I will add some pics shortly.
