For those about to Rock…a nor’easter!

I feel that. Man Craig, I'm still at hotel but will be leaving for beach shortly. I've been waking up with a sore throat and a deep, rib cage rattling cough for the last few days, like somethings in my lungs and I'm trying to cough it up. Guess my hacking kept the wife up cause she said she didn't get any sleep last night. Had this last year, and the year before, Bronchitis type thing, timing just sucks, lol. It delayed my plan for today, but I'm still going out there to work the wet & black sand.

Today should be a more relaxing day compared to yesterday, which was a long day due to getting up early to get grandson to bus stop, finishing packing truck, several hour drive down here, etc. But I'll have a lot more time today to prepare for tomorrow, low tide is an hour later than today, so that will give me some breathing room. I must be feeling really bad because my wife asked me earlier if I knew what I said to her when my alarm was going off at 0630. I had no idea, but she told me that when the alarm went off the first time, she asked me if I was getting up, and I apparently said to her "screw the sand, I need more sleep". Never thought or said that before, so I must have been really out of it, lol.

OK. I'll say it. Covid variant. Get better.

Every forum out there is public, thats not gonna change... You have a VPN how can he be hacking you? Only place that can have private forums is facebook and we aren't gonna turn into facebook. I thought you said you fixed all your issues with your neighbor and if he is doing this why not contact the law?

I went out, didn't stay long I had forgotten I did a factory reset and I couldn't get headphones to pair so I just watched a video how to fix my issue, I'll do it soon and try and again tomorrow, beach was ground down some but my rocky areas covered in sand a downer.. I'll use my muck boots tomorrow so I can get past the sand I did find a silver stud earring too bad it wasn't gold stone huge lol... tide sucked tomorrow better tide... also gonna be colder tomorrow too many on beach today and I hate being around people when I am detecting. Sounds like bronchitis to me, don't listen to DR.KOB he lost his medical license for malpractice...

Holy Guacamole ! All I'm reading is excuses on how Not to hunt The Storm of the Century. Except for SH. Poor guy has Covid , a broken wrist and a wife that's taking time away from hunting. Which you guys would never do. Not to mention he drove for Hours and got a 5️ Notell Motel. But he's making it happen. Now we just gotta see the rewards....

Sand , you will need a antibiotic, if it is Bronchitis , otherwise it can turn into Pneumonia really quick , emergency clinic in Ocean view , but it will cost you 230 clams , what the heck your loaded anyway

This is really unbelievable. Why would this guy , who doesn't hunt , care what you are doing on here ? Just to see your movements ? Total waste of time. Your Samsung is a good phone. Take it into your carrier if you can't clean it. Something must be seriously wrong with what YOU are doing for him defeat all this security. Don't see the end game for this guy. Beefing up internet security is not all that difficult....My Dad thinks of himself as a computer guru. Always offering me advice. Yet he is the one who has been hacked twice and rebuilt his computer a few times. I think he goes on malicious sites. But he won't listen to his "kid". He knows more about operating systems than me. But needless to say I gave up on his computer advice years ago.

Not much in rewards department today, except that I'm still alive, made it through the day, so I'll count that as a reward. NOT covid, lol. It's a combination of bronchitis and sinus infection, had this before but last time also had an ear infection, so it was a trifecta. No ear infection currently, fingers crossed, so I'm dealing with 2 infections this time, plus the tendonitis thing, so I guess I'm back to another trifecta.

Not afraid to admit, but after 3 hours of hunting, I was ready to drop. I was about 3 blocks down from the wife, so I turned around and worked a combination of high wet and the dry. I just wanted to get back and plop down in my chair, I was bone tired, and all the chest rattling coughing made my entire mid-section hurt. It took some time to get back. I'd swing for a minute or two, then need to stop to catch my breath & rest a bit. I used that time to stare out at the ocean and enjoy the view. There were still some very large waves coming in, so took time to enjoy, then continued swing the coil.

Once I got back, sitting down felt so good, but that only lasted a few minutes. Decided to call it, so we headed back to the truck to start making our way back to hotel. Promised the wife before the trip that I'd take her to some stores, she had a little shopping to do, so we hit a few. I dropped her off, me & dog waited in the truck. After we got back to hotel, I walked across the parking lot to a pharmacy and got a couple tubes of anti-inflammatory gel per my doc's recommendation for the tendonitis and got a day/night combo of Muscinex to deal with the coughing, sinus, and all that.

I was feeling so bad when I tried waking up at 0630 this morning that I kept resetting alarm. It took a couple hours to wake up and get ready to hit the beach. Luckily, the wife volunteered to come with the dog while I hunted, saving me from coming back, getting them and having to turn around and go back. She knew how bad I was feeling so she did me a solid. She could see I was totally out of steam from the infections and exertion on the beach. Digging was twice as hard this time due to coughing and breathing, then was also excruciatingly painful at times due to the tendonitis. I couldn't turn my scoop over with my left hand to dump the sand, too painful, so I had to set the bucket on the sand and kick it over with my foot. I knew it was gonna be slow going, but slow going is better than no going.

Truth be told, I was friggin' wiped out after hunting for 3 hours. This coughing, sinus thing has taken a lot out of me, coupled with walking pretty far in shallow water, the wet, and even the dry, then digging much slower than normal and trying not to blow up my left forearm & wrist. So, on one hand, physically, I totally felt like crap, but on the other hand, deep down, I felt great that I got out, a sense of victory so to speak, medical illnesses be damned, lol.

Going back out tomorrow, this time by myself, the wife wants to stay back to get some sleep, as my coughing kept her awake all last night, so she was pretty wiped out herself today. I'll try to get up early enough to make low tide at 1030, but the way I've been feeling, if I don't make low tide, I'm not gonna stress it. It's funny how when you feel like crap, things that you normally care a great deal about, you just don't seem to give a sh*t about. It's like my usual hard-core attitude was changed to medium/low-core. So, low tide or not, I'll just go and hunt, do my thing, and hopefully make some good finds.

I'll be at a different beach tomorrow, today's beach kinda sucked. 2 guys were hunting the block long stretch I was hunting when we arrived, looks like they were swinging Manti's. Found a few zincoln's, 50 cal military projectile, and lots of space poop using my Sov. Tomorrow, it's the Dual Field's turn at one of my favorite beaches. Was initially thinking about wearing waders tomorrow since the temp should be lower, but if I can't make it to the beach by low tide, no use in wearing waders, so like today, I'll just stick with shorts and diver booties. I can handle knee deep with bare legs for a bit, then just walk out, hit the wet for a bit, then back in water, then back out. There's always a way.

As a possible workaround, you can send me, or OBN, or KOB, or Craig a direct message, and add others that you would like to receive. That would turn that direct message into a private chat between however many people you add. The public can't see, just the guys you added to the message can see. It's just like posting a new thread, everybody can reply, just like in the forum, except only the people you sent the message can view and respond.

Yeah, been there, done that the last time when I had an ear infection, sinus infection, and bronchitis all at the same time. Doctor showed me my X-Ray, said I was less than 1 day away from turning into full blow pneumonia. I walked out of that clinic with about 6 or 7 prescriptions for antibiotics, steroids, an inhaler, all kinds of stuff.

I ain't inviting him on our private thread Don't invite me either to a new one, I talk about detecting and not conspiracy nonsense. I'll try and read your entire long post but not now if I did, I couldn't go out to the beach today at noon as it will take me a while to digest it, you really like messing with my ADD don't you lol... I can't give you an ear infection as I have never had one but would love to share my meneires with you, its fun you can't sleep in a bed unless you are in upright position otherwise every movement causes vertigo... its why I sleep in a lounge chair. The bonus of meneires is you start to lose your hearing in effected ear so far in right ear have lost 25% two years ago it was 15% it does have advantages like you can't hear the wife complaining about something and a narcissist loves to complain...

Have you tried hunting at all? Years ago I was hunting with PI JOE, I had a cold, I wasn't gonna let it stop me from having a good time detecting a favorite spot with my PI, Well, we get to beach its 42 degrees and drizzling, I had my waders on and head covered by end of hunt I was drenched next day felt like I can't say it on here but starts with a S and ends with a T so went to my DR she gave me a chest xray and I had pneumonia, she gave me antibiotic which didn't work, I got sicker then she gave me ciprofloxacin if it didn't clear it she would put me in hospital and she didn't want to do it with all the illness spreading in hospital from a staph infection. Thankfully the cipro worked. So if you plan on hunting, don't get wet, I was a lot younger back then. I promised myself after that if I am sick, I will not hunt and I haven't.

I hunted yesterday for 3 hours, mainly the wet but did get into the shallows a bit, also worked the dry on the way back to the wife & dog. I outlined in my reply to COT KOB. Getting ready to head out to another beach. I'm taking things a lot more relaxing today, not gonna put myself in a hospital, so today's hunt is just gonna be a slow, relaxing hunt. I'm taking your advice, so won't go into water today. I'll just be hugging the waterline on the wet so feet may get a bit wet, but diver booties keep feet warm, even after getting wet. I'll be using the Dual Field so great to be able to get more time on that machine.

If I find bling, that would be great, but if I don't, I'm still gonna enjoy being out on the beach swinging a coil. It feels crazy, because I normally hunt a beach like a mountain lion looking for prey, especially after a storm. But since I'm not feeling well, gonna take things easy and enjoy the hunt as much as possible. I'm down here, paid for the hotel, so I can't let this opportunity go to waste. Only regret is not going out into the water to hit the shallows.

Only saw 2 & 1/2 other guys hunting yesterday, same area I was in, 2 of them were swinging Manti's I think and only worked the dry. The 1/2 was a total newbie, swinging a red detector, I didn't recognize, probably a Chinese brand/knockoff. I could tell he was a newbie in 2 seconds, as he didn't have headphones, didn't have a finds pouch, and didn't even have a scoop or anything to dig with. He was also swinging with his coil about 6-8" above the sand, so obvious he was just playing around.

Not sure which beaches in Jersey but gold has been found.

No reports from coin beach.

Well at least somebody is out there getting the gold. The slackers around here sure aren't putting much effort into it.
