On a hot streak

18kRonin · Jan 21, 2016

The Church, Under the Milky Way

Three hours hunting the same area as last time told me nothing was home. Did find some big bling that got my full attention till I realized it was glass on a silver earring.

Had a quick coffee break to thaw out a bit and revised my plan then went into prospecting mode. Stumbled onto a lone target that changed to hunt big time!!! A nice sized Plat with bling, after a few choice words :lol:

kept at it.

Wasn't expecting anything more, would have been real happy to end the hunt right then and there but thought I'd give it just a bit longer, 20mins or so later saw yellow in the scoop talk about thunderstruck was looking at my favorite design of ring. A plan Jane but old with a classic look and a thick band not like the hollow new age stuff.

Had to go into overtime after that one :lol:

lasted for a total of 5.5 hours in the water till the signs of hypothermia got very loud and clear :cold:

took me hours to warm up :lol:

Know where I'll be going next hunt :yes:

Finds from the hunt:
Pt900 5.57g
18K 4.07g
3 silver

Thanks for viewing

Persistance always pays off, hypothermia, that word brings back memories, back in the days there was this friend of mine we called him flipper we used to surf up and down the baja coast, when the waves were big and gnarly usually in winter he always for some reason said hipothermia was starting to set in but made the best of it and at the end of the seassion had some memorable rides to share and talk about may he R I P. GL and HH.

Thanks Procali, did the odd bit of surfing myself. Surfing with penguins at the bottom of New Zealand in winter with a 7mm wetsuit. Man you've got to be fit to surf with a 7mm I wasn't :lol:

Got brain freeze every time my head went under :lol:

Thanks Joe, I've got a drysuit just don't like using it totally submerged when upright, up to chest deep is great in a drysuit. The water has been a lot colder this year. But nothing like what you were hunting in, man that's nuts :lol:

As long as I've got targets to dig I don't mind the cold that much when hunting. It's when I get out that I feel it :yes:
