Default Cupajo inspired me...

I just took a peek at CJ's finds and figured what the heck I'll post mine


here in Connecticut we have had almost no storms like we do during the fall and winter to mix up the beaches... all our beaches and my personal spots are sanded in.. where I found all that gold last winter has at least 3 feet of sand on top of the spot filled with lightweight canslaw and ketchup packages.. I haven't hunted it all winter... where I found the gold last week is quiet now so I tried a different spot.. I hunted some spots where I saw some erosion but for the most part its still too soft to find the older deeper good stuff...


If there isn't gold in the finds is bleak.. silver doesn't do anything for me

Call me spoiled I don't care but I'm not after silver...

The bracelet is gold plated junk..

So these are my GT finds for yesterday...


I met Louct there and he pulled 12 cents with his DFX.

At least most of the pull tabs are the old style Now if some sand would move, you could to get to the old style rings.

Cupajo, an inspiration!?

I've been called a lot of things Craig, but this is a first!1

As I remember you once posted that we Hunters should show both sides of this hobby, the day to day kinds of results and the OMG, eye popping bling too.

This portrays a more accurate version of the hobby than only posting your Gold, Etc. so that inexperienced hunter get a good look at metal detecting.

You have quite a pile there my Friend and I salute you as one Hunter who really gets it done!!!

GL&HH My Friend,

CJ

Yup, beach hunting is not all wine and roses. Gone are the days that we would come home with a hand full of gold.......the price of gold and the economy has a lot to do with that. I have not beach hunted hardly at all this winter due to illness, but I am certainly looking forward to it when I am in FL this spring. My hubby has been dirt digging which has been more productive.

"silver doesn't do anything for me"
I understand what you mean Craig but I won't go quite that far. There's nothing like seeing a big gold ring in the scoop but a big beautiful silver ring or silver with a "Tiffany & Co." stamp is quite acceptable.
I do sometimes feel like what some former olympic athlete said: "You don't win silver, you lose gold." Call me spoiled I guess. HH!

My machine has been out of commission for the past month (turns out it was the headphones.. picking up a waterproof pair today.), but my last 10-15 hunts before it crapped out were all skunks... so I know how you feel.
