A little over 2 hours this PM I waded the shallow water at low tide and Dual Field/Diablo hunted the deep sand on the sand bar I hunted yesterday.
My Friend Frank stayed with the area he got a workout in yesterday for a couple of hours too.
Of the 29 targets recovered only two were junk finds, unless the 5 Zincolns count as junk.
I managed to recover a nice silver ring from Thailand, a Merc and an ear-ring of very shiny, but unknown metal, as it has no hallmark. (It's pretty hefty for an ear-ring too.)
I consider the rest to be keepers, even the bullets as they do have value.
That strip of sand keeps on producing targets and I live in hope that soon one will be gold.

The water/weather combo has been wrong for a couple of days for hunting the way I prefer to hunt.
Low wind, calm seas and quiet conditions allow listening for those tiny bobbles in the threshold that mean deep targets.
Many of the targets I have recovered over the past year have been what almost seemed to be "figments of my imagination" but proved to be keepers.
These local beaches have been hunted heavily over the years and I have done my share of that, but using the Dual Field has allowed me to hunt as if I have found an un-hunted beach when conditions are "right".
Most, if not all of these targets have been there right along, but have been missed somehow, which shouldn't surprise me, because it only has to be missed by an inch after all!
I'm looking forward to the next good days hunt!

Todays hunt = more of the same.
1-silver ring, 8 quarters, 1- junk bracelet, the usual bullets and sinkers, so maybe I should call it my 31/2 hour "ditto" hunt.

Your kind replies mean a lot to this Old Hunter!
Many Thanks!!
When I read posts from Fellow Hunters who have to drive hours to the water for a hunt, I realize how lucky I am to be only minutes away from my primary hunting grounds and not too far from other popular areas.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to share these hunts with you all.
