    258 coins in one hole

    What a weird day it was at the Jersey shore. I had the day off and planned to hunt for just a couple of hours this morning. As I walked out onto the beach, I noticed 2 quarters on top of the dry sand. I told myself maybe it was a good sign. Then I noticed a few more coins. As I started sifting...

    A few Jersey shore finds from the past week

    Wow, was the Jersey shore busy this past week. It was like a SJMC club hunt. I hunted with Surfdigger, Diane, Barb, Janice, Harold and least a dozen other detectorists. Last Friday, I found one of my largest gold rings ever, 20 grams. Although it's a gold band with a gold nugget on the top, I...

    Blind squirrel finds a nut (or two)

    What a weird beach hunting season it's been for me this summer at the Jersey shore. First the water was too cold for the first half of the summer. Now all the targets seem to have disappeared in the wet sand. Normally in the winter, I might find an average of a hundred coins in a few hours. For...

    A couple of cool post Bertha finds

    Finally the Jersey shore is starting to warm up. Today the water made it up to 67 degrees. I went down for the morning low tide and hunted for almost three hours. I lucked into one area with some interesting mixed new and old targets. After finding a bunch of clad coins, I popped up a Standing...

    34 inches, 27 grams, 18k

    I went to the Jersey shore today for the first day of summer. I hadn't been down in more than a month so I was really looking forward to getting out in the fresh air and summer sunshine. For June, there was a decent crowd on the beach. I wasn't expecting much, since the swimming season doesn't...

    Saturday- NJ Nor Easter Leftovers

    I wish I had been to the Jersey shore earlier in the week after the Monday nor easter, but I just couldn't get off work. I've been admiring Dan in South Jersey's finds and wanted to hit the same spot he and I'm sure many others detected after the storm. There wasn't much left, but I did hit a...

    56 pennies and a platinum ring

    I've read in the past how detectorists sometimes have great luck on sledding hills. Today I thought I would give it a try. About two weeks ago we had a few inches of snow in my area and now that snow is completely melted. I started working the bottom of the hill and found just a couple of coins...

    First shore outing with the S-12 (Thanks Joe!)

    On Saturday, I took my Sovereign GT for a couple of hours at my favorite South Jersey beach. I was using my new S-12 coil for the first time at the shore. Last weekend I used it in a farm field and came home with 2 colonial buttons, 3 cuff links, and an 1829 Large Cent. I really like this new...

    Size 13.5 gold ring

    What a great time I had last night at the Jersey shore. It looked like a South Jersey Metal Detecting Club hunt. I saw at least a dozen detectorists and I think most of us found something good. Bud had a great looking gold horseshoe ring. Joe found a pretty, although fake, engagement ring. I...

    Seven Ring Friday Night

    Where I hunt in Southern New Jersey, if I come home with one or two rings, it's been a good day On Friday evening I headed to my usual spot ready to get in the water for the low tide. Much to my surprise I came across a beach with a nice looking slope. I started finding a bunch of lead sinkers...

    "PLAT" ring update

    I went to two jewelry stores to have my PLAT ring checked out (see my earlier post). I turns out that although it's a very good diamond, it's smaller than I thought. The center diamond is about a 1/2 karat. The side diamonds add up to about a 1/3 of a karat. All in all it's about a $3000. ring...

    It's not junk, it's "PLAT"

    I was detecting last evening at a local beach. There were so many people on the beach and in the water due to the extreme heat here in South Jersey. I was in an area midway between the high tide and low tide mark and all I was digging was pennies. A few people were watching me and the little...

    Thursday morning low tide

    What a perfect day at the beach! The weather was nice and cool for a change. I hit my favorite South Jersey detecting spot. It was one of those days where your arm gets tired from digging targets. There were tons of zinc cents, most at the hide tide mark. I found four one dollar coins, four...

    A 21k day!

    What a day! I hit the afternoon low tide on my favorite South Jersey Beach. I got this great "gold" sound on my excalibur. Sure enough, I dug what appeared to be a gold bracelet. I was afraid to read the back for markings, because I thought it might be junk. Turns out, he bracelet is marked 21k...
