Not sure how beach hunting is where you hunt but at Cocoa Beach it has been the slowest this yerar I have ever seen. Conditions have been great but no one I talk to has been finding much at all. Well yesterday in chest deep water with pounding seas I dug this about 15 inches down. It took me 15 minutes to get it up. That little something inside was telling me this is a good one plus the tone on my cz21 was right on. At any rate my first gold in quite a while. 5.6 grams 10k with 24 really small chips. Bones aked so much today dicided to stay home and try again tomorrow...
