Actually, Hurricane Kay was wonderful to me! Prior to Kay I was having a very slow year for gold finds but she changed all that in 1 week.
I know that Kay was disappointing for some but as KOB pointed out, a few beaches had massive amounts of sand movement making for some ideal hunting conditions.
I think I hunted about 6 nights in the last 8 days and even though I encountered several other hunters, there were enough targets to go around. I found an amazing number of gold jewelry items but most were below 2 grams and nothing even close to being a "honker". Many targets were hiding in and around the black sand making them more difficult to find, even with my pulse detectors. On one hunt I used my Equinox but the black sand was making the Nox so chatty that I was getting a headache. My Nox's TID's were pretty useless as virtually all targets registered as negative numbers until I got them out of the holes. In the early morning light of one hunt I spied a thin gold bracelet laying on top of the black sand - a 14K Italian beauty in perfect condition. Here is a picture of the best finds from that one 4 hour hunt:
and a picture of all the "K" from the week:
GL&HH!
