Brrr. Was 62 Degrees at 6:30am. Hit the Beach & Had To Wear Hooded Sweatshirt! Hunted 'til 10am. $2 in Clad. Saw (1) Nice Gold Ticket & That's It.

No cuts at all. I have never seen so much sand piled up in the lane. The storm blew high winds from the East and sucked all the sand from up high and dumped it right where we hunt at low tide. Talked to one hunter who worked the line last night and he said he had an excellent night with a gold necklace and 6 rings. 4 silver, 1 gold, 1 junk if I remember right. Today, he was surprised that one tide shift has dumped all of this sand. Saw Low Tide Tim, Sharkunter & some other dry sand pirates.

The one nice ring I saw today was gold, with dark black or green stones and small diamonds. Looked great too.

I got $2 in clad, froze my cojones off. Decided to call it quits, get a cup of decaf at 7-11, head home and fire-up the Stihl chain saw and clean this mess up. We broke the record with rain yesterday here in the Thoroughgood section of Va Beach. 10.43 inches of rain.

The sand is still in here thick, all I'm finding is flat bits of metal, anything that will catch the wave action and be lifted up into the zone I can reach with my detector (knife blades, metal discs from boats, coins, pieces of lead sheathing of old wooden boats, etc.). This means it's time for me to put the detector away for a while until a storm comes through or resign myself to having a good walk ruined. (at least I don't have to pay any green fees)

Hope you get a wind shift soon, it'll probably happen with hurricane season starting late this year.

Cheers,

For a guy with a short season he sure pulls in the tickets.
