    Well my normal huntin grounds are "sanded in", Really sanded in!! GH Knows! So, I tried a whole new beach. This beach has not been kind to me in the past.:thumbdown: Of the four times that I've been there it yielded No Gold what-so-ever!! This time I was determined that it was going to be...

    It ain't much to look at - but here it is anyway!

    About this same time last year I was having a pretty bad dry spell, not finding much at all. And then one weekend in December the dry spell was broken after finding the smallest gold ring ever. This year seems to be working out the same way, This comes in as a close second to the smallest gold...

    No Gold this weekend , but I did manage a silver bracelet 42g's

    I gridded a huge section of beach and came up with little to nothing...then I hit the water and managed to snag a silver bracelet. It was the only thing that saved the day from being a total disaster. When Gold doesn't show, Silver will have to do! [attachment 102098 August162008041a.jpg]...

    Finds for the 4th were pretty dismal - just a "little" silver

    You would think that for all the crowds at the beach a guy could find something.... I woke up at 2:30 (July 5) in the morning to hit the low tide, figured I'd be the only nut job out there...nope at least five other guys...nobody got any gold that I know of.

    I'm happy to say that I received the settlement check from Midwest today Monday May 19th, after shipping the gold out "late" Saturday May 10th. Three of the gold pieces were rejected, a Charm that I was almost certain was not gold was rejected, and two "grills" that I was very suspect were...

    Help! What do you water hunters use for a find bag? In the winter, If I'm hunting in shallow water I could just use my jacket but if I go out any deeper, I need something to put my finds in. I've tried just dropping it down my wetsuit but that gets uncomfortable after awhile:spin: Any...
