Foo Fighters "Learning to Fly" cover by Rocking 1000
Hunt 1
Found a section I'd been hoping for had opened up big time. Only place that had targets was just below the cut's face. Concentrated black sand with shallow tent pegs and big iron
Thought about changing over to the Excal but just didn't feel like putting up with null grunt null squawk all day so kept at it with the DF. Half an hour into the hunt was clearing out one hole, swung the coil over it and yet another target but tiny, looked in the scoop and got a glimpse of yellow falling through. Finally tracked it down, was a small ear stud with some kind of stone on it.
Took me 3 hours of constant digging to cover the area, had a short break and went back over the same ground taking off a few more layers of the ugly stuff. The surf was still pulling off sand exposing even more with coins and the odd silver.
Near the 7 hour mark was wondering where the good heavy stuff was and was trying my hardest to get off the beach but Mr DF wouldn't have a bar of it
it kept finding me coins and silver. Was just about to quit for the day and got a nice sized Plat in the scoop topping off an unforgettable, digging frenzy Haul for the day
142 coins
15 pieces of silver
The smallest single piece of gold ever found with any of my detectors 0.06g of 18K without the stone.
Pt900 3.86g
Thanks for viewing

Congrats on the platty and all those rings! You sure have a lot of people camping in the water.
nice hunt, prolly need to sharpen the scoop after all that work!
