We've had some strong winds in the last few days from a more northerly direction. I thought this would be a good change for conditions except the surf was too rough for an outing in it. So yesterday I decided on a wet sand hunt at the beach I last found some yellow about 3 weeks ago. I arrived for sunrise and after a few minutes of finding my bearings on which part of the wet sand was producing the targets it was basically non-stop digging for 4.5 hours. I knew I was going to go over 100 coins and since this wasn't "Penny Beach" I had my highest clad total for the year at $13.79. I was digging lots of greenies, caked coins, and even sinkers. (The 1985 Swiss 20 rappen and the Peruvian 1995 were among the caked coins.). I was pretty certain with the way the hunt was going that gold would show up. Well, like Mud's "Gold is a cruel mistress" phrase, it never showed. The St. Christopher pendant & chain I thought initially was going to be junk, but after some cleaning at home I was surprised at the " 925". I was even more surprised to see how much those sold new for online. Not a bad outing, but with those conditions where I was hunting I should've had a glint of yellow.
