I got out for an early morning hunt on sunday with Craig and Bruce. The minus tide should have been better had it not been for the wind and rough surf. I didn't manage many targets at all, but I did get 2 nice, really deep ones to make the trip a success. The first keeper was only my 3rd gold this year with 1 each from the surf and turf going into the hunt. It was a nice 7.1g 10k oldie with what appears to be 2 naked ladies on either side. Craig got pretty excited when he saw that and I had to sit him down for a few mins and explain it wasn't a real naked lady to calm him down. 
In all seriousness, i got pretty excited at the naked lady ring, which i was about to give up on after 3 monster scoops without snagging it. Finally on the fourth scoop, I nabbed it. That was possibly the deepest target I've ever recovered with a detector. After that I scored the .57 cal. 3 ringer which totally made my day. I've only ever found 2 of those, both in the dirt and both had deflected off trees and were not very nice. This one was dropped and in perfect condition.
Then I saw it. I didn't think it was real, but then I saw it again. And again..and again. A fin sticking out of the water, darting back and forth about 30 yards over my shoulder in a trough. It was a shark, i'd guess 5-6ft long and it was gorging on bunker for a good hour. I threw some rocks at Bruce to get his attention and like a madman, he waded right towards the thing while I chickened out and moved closer to shore.
I could not concentrate at all after seeing that. It didn't help that craig found a chewed up bunker and threw it in the water next to me
I owe you for that one, buddy! I don't know how you guys down south and out west deal with the sharks. This wasn't even a big one and I was ready to make like Jesus and walk on water to get away from it. lol

Nice job on the gold and 3-ringer. Craig gets easily excited and possibly amused so don't mind him.
LMAO!
