I got a late start on the first hunt of the year and after the first 30 minutes of digging nothing at my beat to death beach, I decided to scout around and see if I could salvage the day.
I head over to a spot around an old boat ramp that is usually under water but now exposed due to the low lake level. The very first target was the silver quarter and less than 10' from that the silver ring. I decided to grid the area and work from the waterline up. First pass I get a 22-23 on the Nox, this is usually an aluminum screw top. Much to my delight I see the red stone and the shape of a ring in the dirt, happy dance!!
I knew I had finally found an older spot of the lake and it continued to get better until I finished my hunt.
Totals for the day one
2-silver halves, Walker and a Benjy
1-silver quarter
1-silver ring
1-10k gold class ring
6-wheats
I had another good day down at the spot I went to on new years days. I'm stunned that I found another half dollar, that's 3 in 2 hunts. This year is off to a very good start so far. The one thing that looks like a compact has me stumped, not sure what it could be.
Second hunt
1-walker
1-washington
2-rosies
and some stuff
