Frozen beach

[mudpuppy]

Sunday it warmed up into the low 40's with rain, Monday it was the same, except with heavy fog ice rain. The sand has blown off the beaches real well, and i figured I'd be the first into the cuts. I was, just NO gold or silver. Lots of clad, Lake Mich is waaay down, below the first string of snow fences the sand blew off the top real good...swinging an F70 and switched to the ATPro when the rain started. Must have walked 5 miles, hit three different beaches, sand was thawed for the first 6" then ice. Very peaceful and comfortable weather to cover that much ground and put in the effort. Found a few spills, that cheap junk ankle bracelet, some earrings, the tiny thing above the nickles is a small copper barrel of some sort, lots of square and beavertail tops...lots of foil..Now its snowing again with no break to this weather in sight..not like last year when it was in the 80's for a week straight!

I expect I'll be wading between the ice breaks when I get home in late April..... Much prefer the warm sand down here in Costa Rica...lol

Thanks fellas...I was disappointed...I left the house thinking gold and lots of it! Those coins were older drops and I was in the zone..Man, I just don't know..I figured Id'a got at least one gold with all that ground covered, and hitting the coins like that, grabbing for chains and everything....I had a lot of pent up energy, and buddy I burned it off! I should have saved and taken a picture of the piles of tiny foil, pulltabs and whatnot just so newbies can get an idea of how brutal beach hunting can be! You know you gotta pay your dues, and I hope this day brought my balance up.

Well done mud, you gave it a great shot! I'm sorry you didn't find gold. I always say each time you dig up some rubbish you are one bit closer to your next gold. It makes me feel better anyway..... Good luck mate, next time could be your best find ever....
