Another Hunt in the "Rust Jungle" 3/22/2011......(Video)

[Surfdigger]

[size=large]It hasn't been the best winter season here at the Jersey Shore but there have been some scattered hunts after some small events.....this time around it was a few days of stiff onshore winds coupled with a "Super Full Moon" that managed to strip sand off of one of our heavily iron infested beaches.....all I can say is that we were in the right place at the right time....enjoy the video.....Brian[/size]

[size=large]Here is Chuck's ring before and after it was cleaned....It is 18k with initials inside from a wedding. On the top is initials in that calligraphy sript. On the outside is "Died Nov. 14 1909". It looks like it was a man's wedding ring that was cut and had the initial plate soldered in after someone died. You never know what history comes out of that place.[/size]

Great video as usual Bri! I feel your pain though, they are about to renourish our beaches too. That will be the end of a decent run here.

another fine production...... amazing how the coolest finds come out of that iron infested sand...... must take a good bit of skill and patience to hunt that scrapyard...... thanks for sharing....

As I mentioned in prior posts I have hunted that beach before. Challenging is a good word for it. I can hunt there , but in small doses. When you mention iron in your videos I don't think some of the hunters out there comprehend how much you are talking about. Is Dan really down to a five inch coil on this hunt? How comes I never see you swinging your Sovereign?

[size=large]Hi Goodmore......I made a mistake....Dan was using his 8inch sunray coil.....My GT is going to the shop....I have a connection problem where the coil wire meets the control box....so I have to use my excals for now....oh well....I guess it could be worse![/size]
