I've been busy lately 06-01/06-06-Gold & Silver Tickets and JESUS showed up TWICE! Was it a hallucination?

06/01-02 Excal hunt was kinda dismal, at $.39. 945P-1245A

Went for a spin on 06/03 with Excal from 7P-12A and had $1.25 and a pendant, which I neglected to photo. It is drilled on both top corners. Looks brass, but held on 10K, but not marked. It says "Roxy". Anybody got any ideas? I may send it in on the next scrap batch and see if they bite.

I went for a spin 06/04-05, into a 12A -0.4L and W winds at 10-15. Was in the water by 815P, with the Aquasearch and it immediately was still having issues. It is on the way to see MrBill for love. Went back to the truck and got Excal. Forgot to recharge the pod night before and the death squeal started shortly after beginning the hunt. I stuck with it till it started bogging down. Went back to the truck and got back up pod, loaded new alkalines and discovered a crack in the cylinder. Tide was way out, so just decided to stay shallow. Clad count was way up at this location, from previous hunts lately at $3.68. I felt good about the prospects, as sand was clearly moving. The west wind was cutting into the bar and exposing these cool little riverlets in it. I got a real knarly signal and when I recovered the target this was draped out of the bucket and Jesus showed up! Wouldn't it be sweet to find that unit in gold! The piece is .925, I'll take it!

I said, "OH I WANT THAT!" and thanked the Lord for the prize!
The scale read some interesting weights, troy ozs:

Also recovered a girl's class ring, 2 LARGE ferrous earrings and an unmarked non-ferrous hoop, which looks silver, but I did not test it yet. May try and locate her. Did not take a close-up. The ring's just stainless anyway. It's easy to give those up. The gold is a bit more challenging! Baled at 120A.

Despite severe sleep deprivation, I went again on 06/5-6 and was running the Excal at the same location. Began the hunt at 930P, into a 1246A -0.1L and S winds at 0-5. Conditions were still interesting and one of my 1st targets was a 1937 buffalo nickel, my 1st ever!

Our area is not notorious for vintage coins, due to heavy replenishment to our beaches. I hunted on and ended up with $2.58 here. Recovered a .925 band and a copper chrome plated junker band.

Things got slow and relocated at 1145P and was back in the water by, 1230A. Was only planning to stay a while, but you know how these things can be. Was deep in the mine at this location and ended up with $.31 here.

I 1st recovered the plated junker and then nearby, had an exceptionally good low-tone and recovered the anchor/cross/w/Jesus and He showed up again.

I attempted to stay right around the area, as I was hearing some broken&low tones. Thought perhaps I could recover the chain. Could not get it. Baled at 245A. I'm pretty tired, think I'll go to bed now. This is MADNESS! I like it though!

I have a question on the Excal? Do you get any kind of a different sound that the target might be a chain? So far, I haven't found one and don't know what to listen for.

Thanks,
Alton

Almost 3 troy oz. of Ag. on the first find, I'd keep it too, Mate! Very Nice Find! The sailor's cross is nice too!
I see you've been hard on your toys again, Mate.
Nice bit of Hunting as Always,

BDA

Well alton, that is pretty broad. In the case of this chain, it about blew my ears off. The crucifix, was the reason for that. Silver chains, even wthout medallions are fairly obvious. Don't pass the penny tones though. Some large gold rings hit in that tone too. The finest gold chain ever recovered, can be seen on this forum, around mid-april. It was a broken low-tone and was 18K and very fine, no pendant. Dig everything that does not completely null quiet, that's my advice. You may not get them all, but you will recover more than others, who don't.

Dude! You're slingin' some WEIGHT there! Nice! I think that rivals Bottomfeeder Jim's HUGE silver bling find from down here last summer.

So re our last coversation, have you SLEPT yet?

Easy cowboy...we have the WHOLE summer ahead!
