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 the last month, I've been averaging about twenty coins and very little jewelry when I go out. Today I almost found more jewelry than coins. Things have been so bad that I've been tempted to hunt the dry sand instead of the water. Ever hear the saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then." Today I finally found some "nuts". I came home with my twenty or so coins, but also found a huge gold high school ring, another large gold band, 5 earrings, a cross, and a bracelet. All were found very near the low tide mark or in the water. HH.

[size=medium][sub]Hi Dave.......you are definitely right about the lack of targets down there....those west winds didn't help very much as they sanded in the beach below the hightide line pretty well. It's just a matter of getting in there and swingin that coil and hope for a fresh drop or two....and it seems you did just that !! HH.....Brian[/sub][/size]

Congrats on getting your nut! 
Nice finds!
Nice finds!
I was going to call and see if you wanted to go down there today. I am so glad to see that someone is finding some gold lately. Like you said, this has been one weird summer so far. The winds have got to change to do any damage on our beaches and I think this fall and winter are going to rock. When the sand finally starts to errode out it will be a good hunt. You did good Dave. Can't wait to see your finds tomorrow night.
