I have 2 1/2 month's left before i claim that title , you will have your 1st snow storm, i will probably hunt till mid November , going tomorrow morning , don't post my find's on here anymore because you all only respect GOLD , ask OBN how many people found gold this year on the beaches i hunt , beside's a couple stray's it's bad news, i like the Equinox, it's lite, the little 6 is on the way, the 15 is no were to be found, went Friday in the WET, hoping to find 1 gold, but only 59 cent's, could have found more clad in the dry sand, but hunted the low tide down 25 blocks, high tide line back 25 , hunted in July and August prime time only to find more clad and 1 tungsten ring, if the gold was here, i would find it, OBN cleaned it out years ago , now everyone sports stainless, tungsten, a little silver, cheap plated jewelry , the pleasure for me now is taking the dog with me,i will get exercise , not what i find, i told you a long time ago, i could care less , what i find, i am at the beach now enjoying what life bring's , single , free, retired, happy stink mud hunting antique gold, at least you know it's their , Nothing here, Earl
