Month in Review - June '22
Hey there everyone! Earlier this month I really decided to dive into metal detecting and it has NOT been disappointing. After doing some research I decided on the Simplex, and patiently awaited its arrival on the island. It arrived on the 7th, and the very next evening I was out for my first hunt!
After a few times out to the beach, I had accumulated many tent stakes, bottle caps, and almost a whole dollar in clad! But even more importantly, I was starting to understand the machine.
About a week after having received my new toy, I took it over to a different beach. Things were going pretty well. I was beginning to know when not to dig those pesky bottle caps, and I had already accumulated a couple of coins. A nice, solid 68 pings on my Simplex, and I was looking forward to digging up another penny. A coin's a coin, right?
But this was no mere penny. I see inside my scoop something... gray? I reach in to pull it out when I see an opal (badly damaged from the sand and salt, poor thing.) I examine the ring to see it: 925! Success! My first silver!
I would continue to go between a couple of beaches when I had time over the next few weeks. The beaches have given up a whole host of goodies since: 2 more silver rings, 6 non-precious metal rings, a dragon head of an undetermined metal (my favorite relic thus far) and...
My very first gold! A nice Guam pendant on a 22" chain, both 14k.
So I do have to say, I am so glad to have gotten into this wonderful hobby and greatly look forward to what the future holds!
