Hurricane Noel Took Away My Beach! :(

Mike, thanks for the great pics!!! I showed the Wife the pictures (big mistake) and now I have to try and find something like it!!!! I guess I'll start drinking now (LOL)!:drinking: WTG and CONGRATS on real beauty!!!
 
Ring finds like that come MAYBE once a season for me, at least the last two years they have. But you have to put in the time and you have to go home empty handed more often than bringing something like that home. But all it takes is one like that to wipe out a dozen hunts of getting "skunked". :) And it can happen anytime...I've seen some other rings found out there that make that pale in comparison. If people WEAR them then people LOSE them.

Beach hunting is the only good "renewable" detecting resource other than clad. There isn't anybody dropping new Civil War relics or silver coins these days, unfortunately. When they're gone, they're gone. Going out to try to get some of that here in a few. HH!
 
Nice find Mike . Just wondering ,you said the beach sand was gone to sea ,so how and how long before it comes back in or does it ?
 
By the way, have you discovered some sort of setting that detects diamonds? You've had some great success in the ice department.

Good for You!:super:

BDA:cool:
 
Oh, it's always moving around. And it's already coming back in. Before long it will be heaped up again. But where there was a steep slant up from the water before, yesterday it was pretty well flat. Now that the wind has died and the tides and currents get back to normal I'm sure it will start building up again. Also, and this is a big one here, they are constantly pumping sand out onto our beach from this huge rubber pipe that sucks sand out of the Inlet at the end of the resort strip, to keep the inlet deep enough for larger boats to come and go. And to replenish our mostly artificial beach that we have here. The pump this stuff in the middle of the night pretty much year-round and have tractors and plows spreading it all the time. That pipe and the mound it sits on got washed out too so I imagine they'll get that back up and running real quick.
 
We were working the wet sand...the surf was WAY to tough to go into...take you right on out. I braved it a little but there was nothing there. Most all the targets that were there were up in the higher wet sand. The ring was in the hard-pack wet sand about 2/3's of the way from the top of the wet sand to the water's edge. It was one of the few targets I found that were that low on the beach. It was about 4 inches deep and rang out very prominently.

Thanks buddy! Yeah, it's definitely my best of 2007. I never expected to land another 1/2 carat sparkler like the one from last season again this year.

It just goes to show that in this hobby you often get your best finds when you least expect it. I had put in about 3 nearly fruitless hours and was pretty much just disgustedly making my way back over to where Karl was so I could say "Let's get out of here man" when my best find of the year pops up. Amazing.
