From my last gold find of 6-15-13 I hunted 36 hours without a hint of gold in my sifter.
I hunted 8-27-13 for the last time until today as workload, family commitments, and life in general got in the way of my desire to water hunt.
Since I live near my hunting grounds I have been monitoring the shifting sands watching for a chance to hunt when exposed areas would allow for a greater possibility of success.
44 degrees F. with water temps in the mid-40s, thermal undies, 7Mil neoprene waders and a nylon wind breaker with a hood would keep me comfy in the misty rain so I decided to gear up and go water hunting.
At noon today Diablo, Mr. Dual Field and I wadded into Long Island Sound and started recovering deep targets from the sandy bottom where the sand had been too deep to find much of anything the last time I hunted there.
3.5 hours later I had recovered 9-copper cents, 2-clad dimes, 5-clad quarters, 1-nickle, 3-bullets, the end of a silver spoon handle, a Merc., a Standing Liberty quarter, a silver ring, a junk ear stud, and a 27.7Gram, 10K universty ring from 1960.
39 targets recovered for a total.
It feels good to be able to share this with you Friends,
