Went out for a 5 hour water hunt yesterday even though the low tide was going to be late. Any non-optimal detecting is better than no detecting! I spent the majority of my time working off-shore and off the sand bars. I started off in a section of beach that I hadn’t done in a while but I migrated after a while to the more popular sections of the beach when the targets weren't coming. The hunt was enjoyable throughout even though the yellow eluded me. The titanium ring was a nice hit that I was hoping would be plat since I saw it was scratched up, but when I took a close look and was able to discern some laser etched writing I knew meant that it was one the junk metals. (With a magnifying glass at home I can read “Triton Titanium” on the inside). I thought a toe ring that I got near the end of the hunt had a chance at being gold but it isn’t. When going through the finds this morning I was pleasantly surprised at the ‘51D Wheatie. I guess I’ll be waiting for the yellow until the next hunt but at least I got my 1st titanium ring of 2017!
