Thought I'd try something different for a change, so I temporarily abandoned the salt water to hunt a freshwater beach. I headed straight out to neck deep and worked shore-parallel swaths, moving in toward the shore. It wasn't until I was chest deep that I realized someone had recently hunted the area -- I could see tracks and a hole here and there in the shallower water. Oh well, the tracks were pretty random and spread out, and I'd found a couple good targets, so decided to go ahead and cover the remainder. It was not an overwhelming success, but I did find a cool little green tourmaline pendant and a tungsten ring. Dang, that ring is heavy! Looked up the density, 19.3 g/cc, the same as pure gold, so it's easy to see why it could easily be divorced from a finger in cool water. It was a gorgeous fall day, and I'm satisfied to say that it was a good hunt.
