Happy New Year!
A few friends and I just received a gift from Mother Nature, a tiny beach in our area that bared some virgin ground. It was productive, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. This is my haul from 3 days, maybe 3 hours per hunt. Hopefully the others who were there will chime in with pics, one friend dug a 1/2 ounce 950 platinum band!

Wow! That is a great haul from the beach covering a good time span as well. Once in a while things come together like that. Got to love those days when the moon and the stars align! Congratulations!

Good lord what a great 3 days. Love the Hawaiian wedding band and "raw" gold band. This is definitely better than most peoples years find. Huge congrats!!!

Awesome!
Only a few detectorists will find that much in a lifetime much less 3 days.
That certainly paid for a few machines.

Fine...I see where I rate

I wasn't even invited (all expenses paid of course).

I feel so unloved

Congrats though....that's an AWESOME haul.

Beautiful! Better stay on it, these spots can disappear over night. had one just like, got so much it was like a dream. One storm..covered..gone.. I still go back about once a month.. Nada.

Aaron, thanx for turning me on to the tip. And thanx for letting my friend and I join you ! Although you kicked everyone's b*tt out there @ the 2 nights I was there with you. There's a nasty rumor going around that you planted those rings and only pretended to find them . 'FESS UP ! :laughing:

I won't even post my meager picture : 3 gold rings (of which 2 were wimpy light weight wire-rings, and the other a modern 14k band). Some silver rings, some coins (of which a few were toasted silver).

What was strange , is that the rest of us were getting fishing sinkers and coins in the same ratio as you. But you were red-hot and in the exact spots I guess (I refuse to admit it was skill ! It was only "sheer luck !" :mad:

)

But seriously now, we are all wiser to the phenomenon you discovered. And I aim to come out with both guns blazing on the next super low minus tide coming up in a few weeks. Be there or be square !! :cool3:

Actually, yes and no.

There hasn't been any erosion lately in CA (to speak of). So *ordinarily* the super high/low king tides, that just passed , would do no good. If there's no erosion, then the super minus tides do nothing more than reveal acres and acres more sterile beach with no targets. Doh !

But Aaron wised up to a certain new strategy. Perhaps he wants to expand on this ? Or perhaps it's proprietary ? I'll let him answer.
