What a heavy hunt today... Bruce, Swinglow, Robert and myself went back to the beach we hit yesterday.. off in the distance I saw Angel (Boxing63)

When I got back to my truck I noticed a piece of paper under my wiper :lol:

Lots of lead and copper a few wheats and nickels from the 40's to the 70's and not much else today... 3 hour water hunt with the Excal... I think Bruce found a silver dime that was a sliver...

My pouch was pulling my waders down :yes:

I used to add them to my pouch during a water hunt to use like dive weights. Now I'm down to one sinker a hunt. Funny I started talking about listing sinkers on CL and my supply went dry:?:
 
Careful, don't let it have too much contact with your skin you don't want lead poisoning! :roll:;)
 
Looking at your finds Craig, if there was any gold there you would have found it.....that blue Excal is doing what it 's supposed to. Nice hunt

I failed to mention I was hunting in front of a house... the lady of the house came to the waters edge while I was in thigh deep water and proceeded to seed right in front of me :roll: brand new shiny pennies... I moved in for the kill and picked up 3 thanking her for her donation :lol: she didn't laugh...

If someone were to seed my spots, I could only pray it was pennies...

You should have looked at one for a good 10 seconds and then say in amazement: "Holy cr@p! Did you know about the double stamp mistake on this one? That's a $250 coin. THANK YOU!!!! Is it okay if I give you a hug?".

:p

:shock:OMG Craig I didn't know things were so bad for you that you resorted to picking up pennies!;).

BTW - in my hunt today, I knew I was picking up a lot of pennies, and thinking of the smart aleck comments you would make actually kept me from probably picking up more! :laughing:
 
Nice hunt

If gold was their , you would have found it, happy hunting Craig, Shogun is cat napping in front of the AC vent, crashes after a meal, Earl

Shiny pennies Felix... not those worthless eaten up things you post :laughing: those zincs go right in the trash if I find them...
 
Hey Craig nice finds.

Last winter I was making a killing on finding those suckers. Kept a few for my kids tackle box as we were running low. Other people must like them as well as the ones I left on a rock were gone the next time I was down there.

Sounds like you were hunting down along the gold coast, the lady was a bit too full of herself.
 
That is a lot of sinkers, I wonder if there is a way to date sinkers to when they were made by there shapes.

:shock: Sounds like when people used to call the cops on me for fishing behind their house in the river. I know someone who was on a jet ski and some people on a dock started throwing lead sinkers. He spun around his jet ski and blew their barbeque grill off the dock. Imagine getting hit with a sinker going 50 MPH.

You could maybe date the mold they came from but in most cases most of the molds ever made are still being used by folks..

I have a bunch of those molds, some date back into the 1920s and 30s...
