Me and the 550 are gonna hit the....

[Spanky]

beach in the am. Taking a brick hammer to pick axe the stuff out of the semi frozen ground.

Have snow here but no snow banks to probe in the near by parking lots.


Got my propane torch ready and will take a thermos full of hot water to take along in case the green machine snags a ring and I wanna take it out a little more gentle.

Cheers !

Well I got off to a poor start this morning...my wife had a honey do list and I never got out till noon. When I drove to the beach I forgot my hammer...paid for it because my arm is killing me right now.

The sand was very soft the first 6 feet from the edge of the water and gradually got harder with the frost. I'd say that at 15' from the water edge it was almost concrete. At 60'it started to get soft again which was ok because a lot of people walk in this zone so I checked it out. The pictures show a silver ring I found with some kind of cheap looking blue stone. I took some photo's of coins I found frozen in the sand. Well......for 4 hours in the field I didn't have much to show for it. Lots of scrap metal.Tommorow is suppose to be mild out might try one more time because the weather is going for a nose dive for the next 10 ten days.

Cheers
