Folks, I mentioned early I had a beach out planned on 12/12. Me and my friend Bryan went for about 12 hunt on the beach. We moved to three different beaches close by hoping to do better. Actually, the last beach gave Bryan the best find on the day within the last 20 mins of the hunt.
I found a junk Stainless steel ring in the wet sand, the rush was real and I knew it was a ring when I found it. Had people close by and did not want to draw any attention. Gracefully placed it in my porch while my back was to them. Had to wait at least 5 mins before I could get to place to view. After a brief view, I still had hope it might be a precious metal. Rats!
Found a bright shinning, heavy earring at the high tide line. I also thought this would have a KT on it. Rats! Junk.
Rest of my finds were clad, sinkers, etc.
Bryan found a earring (92.5), and aluminium ring junk early in the day. Last 20 mins he found a cute little ring (92.5) and a gold ring with writing on it. Surely thought this was gold. It was dark and we could not see any marking. After getting home, he found out it was not gold, maybe plated. It is Stainless Steel.
The funny thing about this find, is where he found it. He was walking out and it was beside the trash can. There is so much trash alum around the cans I stopped checking them. Maybe I should check them going forward.
Bryan was using a Excal in a backpack and I was using my Sovereign in a backpack.
The backpacks make it so much lighter. I also tried out my 15" WOT it worked well. But after about 4 hours I had to put on the 10" coil because my arm was starting to hurt. What's weird, is it does not weight much more than the 10" maybe a pound more at the most. Guess I need to toughen up.
