Yesterday a front came thru with big offshore winds so I decided to go to a beach I hadn't been to in years because its a pulse beach, at bottom of slope where I hunted is not for a pulse but out in water and flats it is, everything worthwhile is super deep where you need to listen for whispers, some of my oldest and deepest gold came from this spot. Tide time was not the greatest but I said what the hell, I'm gonna go hunting with my OBN Excal, its not a spot for the Nox at all, the Excal is deeper and has better tones than the Nox.

I charged both my battery packs night before and thought I put the new pack on which I didn't, anyway I get to bottom of slope where I wanted to hunt turn on Excal heard a click thats it dead battery. I need to order a new battery for that pack its original. So I took a long walk back to my truck and changed batteries, back down to bottom of slope and it fired right up hunted about 2 hours, had to quit early, wife would be coming home soon...

This spot not easy to hunt, one must place foot on back of scoop and then as you are pushing hard move scoop left to right to get it to go through the rocks, after the first scoop digging gets somewhat easier... after 6 inches of rocks and mud you hit old sand a different color than whats in the dry... yellow vs white and its courser that the dry..... Earl and his sugar sand scoop would like the sand in the dry which I don't hunt unless its ground down to clay.

Anyway I hate bullets, usually I find 3 ringers and musketballs there not yesterday, I believe they are 45cal sure look like what I used to fire at the range. a couple 22 cal as well and one I don't know what it is might be a 32 cal...

No yellow but 6 silvers 4 dimes being mercs and one barber dime from early 1900's. I didn't get a lot of low tones but I enjoyed hunting with Excal again. I think I'll save Nox for dirt and heavy iron spots I hunt. Medals are silver as well.

Great finds Craig! :clapping:

You should post that pic on the Coinshooters and Relic Hunters forum. I know the dirt guys would love to see pics of your coin finds.

Why don't you find a new hobby... take up knitting or hit the churches on bingo night.... my equipment gets used, yours collects dust....
 
Wow, with those targets gold was close! Glad you were able to slip out and enjoy.

I have found gold there, it just wasn't yesterday... I probably pulled 4 gold from area I hunted with my GT... that area had been covered with sand and silt but recent storm must have uncovered it. I was planning to hunt further out but ended up staying put.

The guy went out and had a good time hunting. It does wonders for the body and mind. You should try it. I guarantee someone would starve if he was finding Gold !
 
Looks like a good day hunting to me! All I got last weekend was a few 45cal and 22 bullets and a sore ass cheek from getting down to dig holes.
Congrats on the silver Craig!

I'm not sure about hooking Earl up to become your brother in law. Might want to rethink that. :lol:
