I hadn’t been out in 3 weeks as I have been going through some personal issues in addition to putting up a section of wooden fencing that Irma brought down. Well I finally finished putting up the fencing this week and felt I could go out and play a bit. Yesterday, low tide was at 3:30 and I asked the boss to leave an hour early. I went to “Penny Beach” since I hadn’t been there in a while and I suspected that Irma may not have affected it like the other beaches that I frequent. I was hunting at 2pm and hunted for a very busy 3½ hours. Early in the hunt came what I thought would be a junk ring that was in between some large boulders that I maneuvered my coil through but when I got home and cleaned it seems to be silver - the “kissing my sister” metal. There was no yellow to be had for me but I did get quite the work out at 191 coins and just over $7 in clad for that time. I was correct in my assumption about that beach but I did notice that many of the coins had a brown hue to them that I found unusual from my prior hunts there. Yesterday’s hunt was the 1st time that I think I’ve ever had that I wasn’t excited about getting out for a hunt. However, once I got in the water it was nice to detach and just focus on the beeps. Looking forward to getting out a bit more!
