Hit the beach today. And before I go any further I will say I taught myself how to water hunt here. So I use my feet to feel the bottom and tell me what's going on. All I wear is the cheap OP Wallyworld water shoes. And I pull the bottom padding out as soon as I get them. Obviously you can't pull the liners out before you buy a pair. But put on a pair without your socks and step on your car keys. You'll get an idea of how you can feel what it is with your feet
Felt for some bottom I was looking for. Hit a target and felt it with my foot. It was a 17.8 gram Tungsten sitting on top of the sand
. Sinkers around were on top as well
Did lose one low tone in the strong current and big waves. If you look at my finds you can tell it wasn't a pulltab
Never know whether it was a nickel or a gold medallion. Tried to hit it again for 45 minutes and it was gone
Last target was a grill. Wave hit me so hard I had to limp to my vehicle. Looks like it may be Platinum? I know its a fitted set. Not those padded copper ones. Not buying a test kit until the end of the year as slow as its been. Plus ARA will let me know if I'm wrong
During the hunt, I stepped on either a big Flounder or a big stingray. Luckily when I was bracing for the pain, it never came. maybe a fishermen cut off it's barb? All I know is I'm glad I didn't get the business end
