Had a real low tide around midnight so decided to do my first full on night hunt.
Got to the beach with a full moon, mild and calm and started swinging around 9pm and within 5mins had my first silver ring for the night and it just didn't stop, kept on pulling up silver till around 4am I was so blown away that I didn't stop for a break I had silver fever. Only stopped hunting when the tide came too far up the beach.
Hunted in all metal mode with my Excal II to get more depth as most of my finds were just a little too deep for discrim mode to pick up.
I'm use to digging a lot of trash but this night I was getting around 4 keepers to 2 of trash with only 5 pull tabs for the whole night. In total I got 10,383 yen/$130 US in clad, 24 silver rings , a Kennedy 1964 D silver half dollar that had been made into some sort of badge, a badly encrusted with rust Rolex watch (sorry cleaned most of the rust off before taking its photo, the rust was 3mm thick over all the metal casing) which started running while I was cleaning it and is still running a day later. So maybe it's the real deal just badly beaten up by a few years in the sea.
And a silver chain and silver pendents.
The last photo is of a large silver chain, silver bracelet, large silver cross and above and to the right of the cross is another silver pendent bringing the total silver weight for the night to 403g/14.2 oz with some junk finds from the same hunt.
I have no idea how I'm going to top this hunt
