Lots of Greenies and a Little Silver

Nice hunt Jeff! That silver turtle is a sweet find. I guess the poor tides didn't allow for much beach erosion? HH!

Jeff, you did well; I like the .925....very nice...

Cool little turtle... there are so many in the hobby now they have turned us into scavengers

thanx for the So. CA report. Yes the high tides were wimpy. And this was also not southerly direction to get in past the channel islands. HOWEVER: The height of the swells (albeit W- NW) were BIG. So if I were you guys, I'd continue to scout the beaches in the coming days. Because the "subtle effect" (of multiple back to back W/NW) starts to subtly erode.

And also for the days where the surf seems to have simply washed back up into the dry dunes (bringing down fluffy slop): Sometimes in the days that follow, mother nature robs the inter-tidal zone sand to fill in off-shore voids that you don't see. The tides starting Tuesday are higher, and a few more "bumps" to occur on the swells. So there may be some action still.

Up here @ Monterey bay, I found 2 beaches "going off". 1 had super black sand. So despite awesome looking cuts, my explorer II couldn't hack the black. If a guy had had a pulse here, he'd have scored. Because in what limited penetration I had (1 to 2"), I was getting coins. If anyone reading this in Monterey Bay, who has a pulse, PM me and I'll give you the name of this beach. I've worked it for years, and never seen erosion in the zones I saw yesterday.

Then went on to scout some other beaches, and found another going off. 2 guys were already there harvesting. All of us got coins, including silvers Gonna be back to that one today

Very cool turtle and a very nice amount of clad!

Great hunting congrats!
