Default 1st hunt of the year Odaiba beach Tokyo, happy happy dance and a 1st

Hello,

Been hiding indoors its not really cold here but just enough to say hmmm , brrrr at least in the mornings, today was a balmy 52 degrees according to the dashboard in the car. I decided last night I was going out today. Forcast was possible rain, I got sprinkled on just a little bit. Well the hunt was rather slow for the first 2 hours of a 3 hour hunt. Wasn't finding much of anything. Guess I'm keeping that beach pretty clean. Also the water level was lower than I have ever seen it. Down low is where I found all the keys. I walked higher up the shoreline on the way back, alot more targets. So, didn't break any clad records that's for sure. I did manage my first piece of 18K jewelry, 2 platinum rings one with a diamond and I believe an aquamarine stone the other is a wedding band that's engraved but not enough info to find a owner, and 2 silver rings. Its kinda funny but all of the platinum I have found at this beach has been in the same general area of a 10ft square. Not to mention that these two rings damn near came out of the same hole. Got a signal scooped it up, looked down and saw another band in the sand. Scooped that one up, too. I wait till I get back to the car to examine the finds, then call the wife to tell her if it was a good trip or not. Today was a good trip
Thanks for looking and for those that are snowed in Spring is coming

You can catch up, just find a place with sand and water. Not grass So, much easier to recover targets.

About 2 hours away. Which is common here, everything seems to be 2 hours away. I was just informed of a beach right next to Yokosuka, its called Miura Kaigan Beach, I might be heading there this weekend.
