I went to Iron Beach for the low tide with the Excal Sword
looking for a silver or 2 to get me closer to maybe getting 100 for the season. Found nothing but scrap and a couple clad coins for the first 45 minutes and then working towards some exposed boulders that looked good to sit on, I scooped 3 wheats in a row from pretty deep near the bottom of the slope...and the next target was a Merc. That was just the first silver...I definitely wasn't expecting to find 9 more around those big rocks in the next 2 hours:shock: The trash...the rest...18 cents in old clad, 7 wheats and 10 silvers:D silvers #78-#87...2 crumbling War nickels, a 1944 GW, a 1957 Rosie and 6 Mercs dating from 1920-1944...... By the time it got dark and I was done digging, there were so many holes it looked like the small 20 x 30 foot section of slope had been carpet bombed:laughing: I'll have to go back tomorrow and make sure I got it all...the beach has been real good lately but this was a stellar hunt:yes: if this keeps up I probably won't go dirt digging again 'till next spring:lol: That's all for this outing so thanks for looking, see you after the next and Happy Hunting!

An amazing hunt Bruce. 10 Silver in one outing is fantastic no matter if from dirt or water. I hope your return trip is productive also as you close in on that century mark. Huge Congrats! Trapper
 
Great hunt! You're well on your way to 100. Hope it's still open tomorrow.

I can't hunt with my balance as messed up as it is right now... not fun driving and getting the spins like I did this past week.. not safe either.. If I could hunt I would be out there Earl...

Hope you recover and can get out soon.
Enjoy reading our finds posts.
 
That's a great silver day Captain! If that area gets washed by the tide and waves you're almost certain to find more tomorrow. Good luck!

It's all good , you will make a come back , just trying to get the Captain fired up, so he get's some gold while your out of service, look's like Mark is Gold King up North this year, at least your not getting the big snow like down South is this weekend , not looking good , Craig try the Kung Fu walk on rice paper blind folded , when you don"t see your print's :sneaking: you regained your balance :D , if that doesn't work , tell your wife to take you to Yoga class :D :laughing:, happy hunting, Earl
 
Holy honey hole, Captain! Bring a rake or something to scrape off the top layer, and hit it again! As ugly as those silvers are, they're still good silvers. I would love to dig ten in one hunt! Also, we've seen how nice and shiny that Iron Beach gold is. Get some more of that, too, while you're at it!
