I went back to the beach where I found all those silvers and wheat's and noticed someone had hammered my spot :roll: someone left iron targets all over the place... I still hunted it because I know not everything is found... I crawled there and pulled a couple more silvers and the small size 5 artcarved 14k ring... also pulled a couple of wheat's as well...


I met up with Mark and he was swinging his TDI PRO to start before switching over to his Excal... I don't know what he found...

That's a nice one!! You sure have Mastered that excalibur!!
 
Congrats on the gold! I was thinking of heading to 'the spot' today but continued with my yard work. The beach has been calling me but I have not been since running into Bruce earlier in the week.

Joe... that is why I got rid of my Dual Field and shortly my two GT's... I just prefer the Excal over the rest of what I was using at the beach... ;)

Thanks Zee.. that ring had been there a while.. its all scratched up and discolored.. I was saying to Joe this morning that I believe it was up on the upper slope and got pulled down as it was full of sand and not mud where I was digging.

You are still young Mark.. so yes you were correct and thanks :)
 
:dingding: Nice going on the newer gold Craig! ;) I think if I found one of those old bullets I'd be as happy as the gold. Just goes to show.

Thanks Felix... I don't think its all that new... Art Carved started their company in 1910... its stained from the mud and iron targets nearby and looks like it has been rolling around in the rocks and sand where I found it for a while..

Another nice hunt there,,, The gold just makes it so much better.

Thanks fdutra... trust me this beach I hunt has given up maybe 11 gold in the 11 years I have been hunting it... targets are extremely deep.. years ago I dug an 1892 wedding band there with my Dual Field... I don't bother hunting the flats with my Excal because I know most of the gold is way deeper than the Excal can reach.. I was happy to score gold there today... I expect silver there but I don't get my hopes up for yellow ;)
 
Sweet hunt Craig, Grats on the yellow. I just don't get it when guys leave their junk targets by the hole. Guess they like to come back and dig them AGAIN tomorrow.

How many times have we talked about how we like to clean out the iron so we can hear those deep faints. Whoever left all the junk doesn't believe in that theory.

Don't bother Charlie... in the water its a thick soup of silt anywhere from 5 to a foot deep of it and the slopes have had a lot of loose sand pushed up...

Interesting bullet--any idea of what it is?

Not sure but it looks like a 45 cal maybe a long colt? the beach has quite a bit of history going back to the 1700's.

Exactly... it amazes me that some are so lazy not to take it away... sooner or later they will dig up that same target... and thanks Frank :)
