Although I scratched the detecting itch last weekend on a dry/wet sand hunt, and even found a small gold, it’s not what the doctor had ordered after having my last water hunt almost 2 months ago. I had been carefully salivating all week dying to get out and I did yesterday. I left work early since the kiddies haven’t started yet for the mid-afternoon low tide. I hunted for over 4.5 hours with Nu Blu and Owl Engineering’s new thin CF shaft. I gotta say that my swinging arm was dying at the end, and I can only imagine how much more it would’ve hurt with a regular sized shaft. My swinging arm is definitely outta shape!
When I got to the beach conditions couldn’t be any better and I was surprised to see just how much sand had moved around everywhere from the last time I had been out there in late June. I found it unbelievable that I found 3 rings in about 30 minutes in and a 4th ring within the hour. I thought for sure that gold would be a given on this hunt! It just goes to show how this hobby can psych you out. Out of the 8 rings, 3 are silver, with the heart one being Pandora. Also got my 1st dollar coin this year. At least I can now finally check off “BRIDE” tiara off my bucket list!
As I was about to post, I noticed “Made in Italy” writing on those front sunglasses. I looked them up and they are ILLESTEVA “Prince” and retail new for $240. Looks like I did have a nice score!
