I have to agree Craig, the Excalibur rules in the water. But it's not stock either so that is part of the secret.And look what detector he uses... he doesn't need the latest and greatest because what he has is the best. 1 machine not a entire room full.

Do you have # 108 for this year ? , you have the same set up as OBN , guys like me post a couple times a year, only to have , the beat down from the Ct stagnet gold crew, thanks bro., you & Swing are the best
Thanks DF! Makes for a great day.
Thanks Earl, It comes, it goes, but we will go when it does. Miss the crew up there...
Thanks Skippy, 56 is very good. I'm retired now and have the time, so it makes a world of difference when you can pick and choice the best conditions to hunt in...And I am Blessed to live near water, the Chesapeake Bay.
Thank You! What really made the difference was time, I retired. I may not hunt 8 hours a day and 5 days a week but now I can choice the best days to hunt. Makes all the difference in the world.Wow! That's truly amazing! I hope I can be at your level one day. But for now I gotta pay those bills. Congratulations on working hard and playing harder!
So true, I spend a lot of time just getting to know the spots I hunt, and kind of keeping a log in my head on the changes over the last 5 years.I know this Joe... I know all about the tinkering... a successful hunter has to put the time in and be serious about.. research, reading a beach knowing where to hunt and when... if they don't do that they should stick to the dry stuff with an ace 250 and pull some chump change.
Thanks Usa!Nice job.
OMG, I know that nasty smell, now I just crunch the silvers cookie off. I've got good at knowing which to do it to also, some like you said are less then paper thin..That bay must be loaded, if you're pulling 100+ a year. Wicked fun hobby you've got, OBN.
Btw, thanks again for the silver rings that were gunked up, that you sent to let me practice on with Electrolisis. I was astonished at how long some pieces took (and how stinky the kitchen got, LOL). Some of them barely had any metal left on the inside of all that black. It was a great lesson in chemistry.
Cheers!
Skippy
Many think the bay is loaded but I've yet to see anyone finding any quantity gold other then me. Most here have no clue on how to hunt the older beach's, but they sure can out hunt me on those fresh drop beach's. I love taking other hunters out and watching them, I have learned don't tell them you found gold till after the hunt. I did that a few times and next thing you know they were circling me. The closest hunter to me in gold this year that hunts the bay was my hunting partner, Mr Scott 20 gold for the year..
Thank You, You know I'm not sure what it is other then a red stone which red stones have always been my favorite.Congrats on numbers 106 and 107! The gemstone in the first is beautiful... can you identify it?
Thanks Frank, and yes we are buddy of the same blood.WTG Joe. A pirates pirate for sure.
Thanks Stavr! Keep up the great scoops!Congratulations to the pirate OBN with a large gold!
Thanks Craig, only got out twice this week, looking bleak until we have some kind of movement.Good job Joe... only 28 more to top last years totals
Thanks Slider! I'm amazed every end of year myself...the places are really slowing down, and I say that every year too.Really happy to see your killing it this year. It seems that every year is a deja Vu year. Congrats on a great year. I wish you many more to come and have a very Merry Christmas!
