Nice weather for the most part, got some sun and exercise along with family time. We were near Main street way up on the north side.
About 1/3 of the detecting time was in the mine. Worked mostly from waist to arm pit depth an hour either side of low tide beyond the second sand bar where the line of people was. The waves were easy to bob in. I put the longest boogie board leash I have on the scoop. The longer leash helped. Can get the scoop pushed into the bottom, bob with a wave without disturbing the scoop and go back to the scoop to push deeper before lifting it all. Three of the eye glasses where there.
About 1/2 of the detecting time was in the lane and the suds up to knee deep. Things were really sanded in. One of the storm drainage pipes, about 18 in inside diameter and 2 foot outside diameter, had the exit end fully exposed first evening we got there and by the third day the end was completely covered. It did not get better. Concentrated the hunting along the areas that got scooped out by the waves returning ... the undertow areas. These ran in front of and through the first sand bar and between and through the first and second sand bars. These areas were very reachable and no more than about knee deep in water along the rip tide zones about 2.5 hours either side of low tide. At high tide, this is where the people were in the water. Most of the change came from this area as well as the other glasses and the jewelry except for the matched earrings.
Spent some time in the evenings at high tide over the dry sand and wet / dry boundary. That is where the cars came from and the matched pair of earrings. My first matched pair.
The first picture is all the nut, less the aluminum cans and foil that got dumped at the beach trash cans. Second picture is less the bottle caps, tabs, hair pins and the like. I kept a couple of really crusted bottle caps that I found with the Sand Shark in there because they are the crustiest ones I've hit so far. Now that I am getting my hearing better tuned into the Sand Shark, I am pulling deeper stuff up. Some of the encrusted blobs I found with the Sand Shark show as mid-range conductors on the CZ and XL-Pro. I will work on cleaning them up to see what is in them. Third picture is the little bit of jewelry. Pretty much junk. The chain on the 2009 graduation pendant does appear to be silver, but it it small. And the fourth picture is what the gals found. Best shark tooth week they have had. The sanding in seems to enhance the shark tooth hunting.
There is good jewelry out there to find. One young lady came up and we talked a bit. She had lost a silver ring with a star at about low tide beyond the second sand bar. Another young lass had lost a 10k toe ring somewhere along a block area either in or out of the water. I did not find either ... hope someone here finds them!
