I got out around 8 o'clock this morning for a little hunt at my personal beach. I missed the low tide by 3 hours but I don't hunt in the dark with the sharks. My buddy Besco, he likes hunting with the sharks
not me though.
Anyway, I wandered down to my beach this morning and it was overcast but nice so away into the water I went. We've had a lot of seaweed here from the Sargasso Sea over the last month so the beaches are full of it. 5 minutes into the hunt what pops up but a fat little 14k band. What a nice surprise considering I thought I had hunted this beach clean (you never know). I rocked along for a while after that digging pull tabs and then I heard a really faint sound but with a really nice tone so I start digging and digging and digging. After 5 minutes I have a monster hole 3 feet wide and over 2 feet deep but the tone just keeps getting better and the signal louder. Pop can I think to myself, but the tone is all wrong.
Finally I hit something hard and pull out a huge brass weight, Very Kewl!
This relic was down three feet plus but I was sure happy I kept digging. This is shaping up to be a good hunt even if I did get a late start.
I stashed the brass weight in the bushes and kept going, feeling very optimistic now.
Unfortunately that was about it for the next 2 hours except for some clad and a little silver ring and odds and sods. A good hunt for sure!
Here's the spin:
Overcast but Nice
