18K HGE Day

[Low Tide Tim]

Went to the surf lane today for low tide. The surf was rough and there is quite a cut on the beach, not vertical but more sloping, you can barely see the boardwalk from the edge of the surf. Ran into 2 regulars down there today, Vince and Va. Beach Ron and Zack. No one seemed to be doing too well. I also talked to several dry sand hunters and they were not doing much better, just more clad. Then about 15 minutes or so before the tide changed the targets started to pick up. I found 1 18K Heavy Electric Gold plated ring.(looked good in the scoop) one guess stainless steel watch, still running, a mood ring and a 1 dollar U. S. Coin.
Now for the bad news. Just after the tide changed trusty Excalibur started to false a lot, then pretty soon it was one contineous false. Must have damaged a wire or something and only got to hunt to low tide, missed all the goodies on the 1st hour of incoming tide. Machine home now and will take it apart and get ready to ship to Vegas for repair. Will probably go through withdrawl before I get maching back and will have to resort to Whites Spectrum XLT or Heaven forbid, buy a new Excalibur.
HH and good luck to the surf pirates

Least you have a back up. That's when you really go through with drawls

Neat finds....

Guess Hurricane Irene (yes. it's a hurricane again) is causing some changes up there.

Sorry about the Excal. Know you will miss it!

You bet I will may be forced to get another one as a back up.

Don't know if I can go back to the XLT on the beach. I am really tied into the excalibur.

Low Tide, You De Man, hold down the fort till Max gets back. Not much to report here at Daytona Beach, pickings are slim. Keep up the post. Frank
