Well got back yesterday. 9 hrs door to door. Thankfully the hurricane that started in florida and moved up almost to the ohio valley really didn't have much effect on our weather except cloud cover. Conditions were a thousand times better than last yrs trip.
Anyway here the run-down... Detected 5 1/2 days for a total of around 23 hrs of swinging. Low tide areas were very soft sand indeed so any gold had sunk down deeep. The nox 600 ran great.
Beach 1 sens at near max ( 23) and ran all metal a lot of the time. Totals: 7 quarters, 2 dimes 4 pennys, 1 junk ring, 1 silver ring 1 gold earing stud with real diamond ?? dont have a tester so who knows. And 5-6 fishing weights.. That's it !!
30 yrs ago, Used to come back with 20-30 bucks in change. It was like that for about 10 yrs, than it got less and less and less. Now I really go for alittle exercise and enjoy the beach sites. Can't say I'll make anymore trips down, but I wish the change days would sure come back. Take care folks... Mark ( ohio )
