Boom! Boom! Two more Gold for the AQ! With Eric Foster 10 inch coil

[OBN]

AQ is Hot at this spot! I've got most of my gold this year from this beach.............Three hour hunt, two Gold and one Silver Mercury. Both pieces are 10k, the red stone gold is small, so small I had a hard time picking it up, size 4. Both golds were with in 10 feet in a clam shell bottom, I hate digging in that stuff, almost as bad as rocks. Here normally there are layers, about 12 inches of sand then a layer of shells, and it repeats for things are constantly moving. Sand, layer of shells and more sand and shells in the layers below....there will be lite targets with the shells.. So far all have been light targets except I did find a sandy area .. only, ...... with a few sinkers. The sandy area seem to hold the big gold rings but all must be to deep for very few signals in that area since spring.

My 3 hours tracked with the golds fairly close to each other. Lime green is this hunt and the blue is my last hunt with gold, from Oct 24th..

And Many Thanks too my friend in VB, Thomas McCormick. He was kind enough to give me a second EF coil to add to my collection. Guess I'm getting like Earl, liken to have a couple extra coils for my PI's..

I never realized how much work it takes to water hunt like you do. Wow, just wow. Here's a quick question and you don't have to answer.....how much do you have wrapped up in gear and is it paid off?

Either way, way to fight for the gold, great job.

Nice, finding more in the goldfish bowl, I need to give credits to KOB as he has said your area and mine goldfish bowls lol.... that ring looks a bit undersized, maybe you should have thrown it back and let it grow a bit


The Difference between you and .... is you go out and hunt...

Thanks Mark, many here do the same.. like Craig.. Most of the research n log work takes only a few minutes . And really the work part is the foot work, getting out and looking for that one spot.

I'm very Blessed I got into the hobby for it keeps me physical and mentally moving and it has paid for itself many times over.

I may have 30 grand into the hobby ? (over the last 17 years), everything from wear gear, detectors, boat, jet ski, gas, and ramp fees and every bit is paid in full... + I would say close to 8 times over. The good thing is I do all of my own repairs on all (boat, jetski, drysuits, detectors..etc.. which I do enjoy for I'm a fix it person) , except my two AQ's. Those I will try when the day comes.

Thanks Craig... Yes, size 4.. small but it still weighs in at almost two grams, at one time two grams was a throw back, but now days its a keeper at 100 bucks.

Nice Joe!! More AQ AU is always great to see.

Question: I've always wondered how such great finds are made so far out from land. Since you're hitting older, back in the day swim areas, do you think people waded out that far to swim? OR, over time, could the land have eroded/receded further and further back, which would push normal/typical swim areas farther out?

----- Were is your gold for 24-25 I have a legit excuse on why I am not hunting , you have none , no gold , skunked on one time you did get out , Sand Hunter did better than you did , you want to talk the talk , you better walk the walk Nice hunt Joe , push ----- out & beyond 4 Gold , bottle caps , pull tabs , junk in stink mud doesn't count on getting out 1 time in two years Suggestion sell your detector's , go back to weaving blankets PS Don't worry OBN & I will come visit you in the Old Folks Home Ill bring Storm to cheer you up !

----- Were is your gold for 24-25 I have a legit excuse on why I am not hunting , you have none , no gold , skunked on one time you did get out ,

Surf Dreamer, love ya buddy but man, you really seem to like stirring up . What exactly is a legitimate excuse? Are you bedridden, sick, ill? Do your legs & arms work? Can you walk? Can you drive a few minutes it would take you to get to the beach? If I can drive 3 hours to get down to the beaches in your area to hunt, and 3 hours back, why can't you drive just a few minutes to get to the beaches in your backyard?

Sand Hunter did better than you did , you want to talk the talk , you better walk the walk

That's a 2-way street, I see you talking, but I don't see YOU walking.

Nice hunt Joe , push ----- out & beyond 4 Gold , bottle caps , pull tabs , junk in stink mud doesn't count on getting out 1 time in two years

Might not count in the minds of Armchair Quarterbacks, but getting out and trying DOES count for those of us who actually do go out and try. Based on your logic, your recent hunt at Coin Beach doesn't count, so you're back to 0.

3 days , no gold , get your buddy OBN to seed the Delaware beaches next time 3 days , I figured your new screen name out Skunk Master PS Rent his lemon out , so you can find Gold PS Your skin is to thin- for hanging up here , your big boy pants are falling down ! When your ready put your CASH were your s are , we can have the Beach Detector Shoot out

 

[Sand Hunter]

I can't comment on a solution to your situation because I don't know your situation. All I know is that you keep saying that you have an excuse or have this situation that prevents you from hunting, but I have no idea what that situation is.

Felix is the Big Cat around here now, I'm just a old goat that gets lucky once and awhile. Now if I were younger

 

[Sand Hunter]

3 days , no gold , get your buddy OBN to seed the Delaware beaches next time 3 days ,

2 days, not 3. Spent 3 nights but 2 days hunting just a few hours due to being sick. But I was out there, wasn't going to let being sick as an excuse not to go.

I figured your new screen name out Skunk Master PS Rent his lemon out , so you can find Gold

You must be referring to someone else because I didn't get skunked. Only in your mind are finds other than gold considered getting skunked.

I guess if you were to go down to the Treasure Coast and find a handful of 1715 silver Reales, we could all laugh at you and say that you got "skunked" because you didn't find any gold. Is that how your mind works?

 

[OBN]

Gold, its what we look for! Congrats!

Thanks KH! Amen to that, its a high for sure!
