705/6" HF DD beach finds.......and a nice little find with my other ML detector!

Toooo hot for the usual sun-up hunts on the beach, so switched to sundown till.....?
Summer tourist season is coming to an end with schools back in session. Hotels and resorts are empty during the week but, still fill up on weekends. Labor Day will be the last big getaway weekend for summer.
Two night hunts with the 6" HF DD coil found lots of coin and small items. Only a sterling Star of David and chain were on the plus side of the jewelry finds. I'm always glad to find lots of nickels since that has more than once been a gold ring and it also tells me that other MDers are either not digging them or just not detecting them. What I'm not glad to find is the broken tabs that I would of bet dollars to donuts were a nickel. At least the full tabs jump around 12,14,16, but these broken ones are a dead on TID12!!
$6.43 in coin including two one dollar coins and two red, white and blue cents left over from the 4th. A one pound UK coin, (Thick Coin!!), Florida Aquarium stamp coin, Junk jewelry and miscellaneous items sum up the rest of the finds.

*On another note....My used Blue Xcal 1000 that I bought at the beginning of the year developed a coil issue the other day. A split coil cable let salt water into the coil housing.(New coil and labor by Kellyco $330.00) If you water hunt these things should be expected and sooner or later are bound to happen. Some people are less likely to get into water hunting because of fear of ruining a machine that cost a thousand dollars or more. But the finds can more than pay for these repairs or even another MD.....18k 2.75 oz bracelet. GL ALL

Great score with the Excal Bob!
Not too shabby with the Xterra either.

WOW, nice braclet

Finds like that make me want to go buy a water MDer and some day I hope too. Maybe then I'll move to Florida........

Great find with the Excal, and it's in great shape! I have to smile at your RWB cents, I retrieved an all blue cent the other day, and thought I'd never see anything like it again, but it looks like I was wrong! Thanks for sharing, HH

Nice finds, especially the bracelet. My local gold buyer would be paying just over $1900 for that! Probably worth holding out for more but it's money in the bank either way.

OLH, Thanks.....Love those ML MDs

Come on down Mark...I got 2 water MDs and scoops for you to try.

bdinutah..I found the bracelet a couple months ago. It has 2 safety clasps that were bent or loose fitting and the main clasp slides in but pulls apart without pushing the release, other than that its in perfect condition. I'll be finding those RWB cents into next year, one of the beach bars gives them out every year as change during the month of July.

Mapper....I'll hold on to it for awhile, hope gold goes way up!!! My jeweler, a long time friend, could sell it for more than its gold value,... It is a well known designer and has a really nice design on the face.

** Since the day I found the bracelet I have looked in the paper L&F section and on CL. I also talked to beach workers and hotel staff. My empathy runs deep for who ever lost it and I would gladly return it to the owner if known.
The valuable items found by other MDers in the water or on the beach never ceases to amaze me anymore but, you still have to question their thinking. Why would you even wear it to the beach in the first place, let alone while swimming. GL ALL and Thanks
