After Friday’s boring and relatively targetless hunt (at least for my standards), I decided I would hit “Penny Beach” at dawn for the 8:30 am low tide. It was a hunt just like I like them with lots of targets! Although I’ve had modest success with some gold there it’s not a beach that many detectorists go to because they’d rather hit sexy South Beach. The excitement came when about half way through my 5 hour hunt when I picked up the cross which I thought might be gold. After some rubbing with some sand to remove some tarnish which happens to gold on this beach, it was evident that my month long slump would continue. 
At the end of my hunt, I was very surprised that I ran into another detectorist on this beach. Rarely have I seen this beach detected by others. We chatted for a bit and he hadn’t picked up any gold either. What was really funny is that he told me he went to that beach because he said he counted 16 other pirates on South Beach yesterday. 
I thought I would hit 100 coins for my totals, but I was actually surprised that I passed that with just pennies. (Craig as you can see they’re almost all in good shape so don’t be a bully! 
) No gold today but I had a very enjoyable morning with a decent haul of clad.
