I was out yesterday from 3:00PM until 8:00PM, and came away with a lot of change and one earring that looks like silver (I need to clean it up some) I went in at 22nd street, went north to the Cavalier, back south to the pier and back up to 22nd street. I found a lot of crusty coins, even a 1965 penny, but no gold.
Yesterday was my last day staying at the oceanfront this summer with 5 days of vacation so my run of hitting every low tide came to a close. From last Saturday to this Friday night, I caught every low tide whether it was morning or night and spent a lot of time in the water.
My feet took a battering this past week, so I will now slow down a little to allow my feet to recover. I will try to catch the low tides in the late afternoon and early evening, but I won't be able to catch the midday tides on weekdays or the early morning tides because of my work schedule. I had a great time this week and found a bit of gold and silver.
I bought a Presidium DuoTester off ebay that tests for diamonds and variants and it arrived yesterday. I tested all the stones from my finds this week in the earlier photos and found out all the clear stones were glass with no diamonds
. The one red stone was indicated as spinel.
I should have a gold tester arriving on Monday, so I will test the rings and items that look gold to determine their gold content if any.
My excal 800 had quite a workout this past week and it took it like a champ! I am amazed at what it found. Some of the coins I found were up to a foot deep and I had to really dig to get them.
