I don't see any problem with saying this in an open forum, because nobody knows what friend I'm talking of or what state he's in, let alone which of about 12 beaches that are within about a 30 to 40 mile radius to where he lives...But he's been pulling the bling out of the water with his Excalibur for about 3 weeks now in heavy numbers.
He found a cut in the water (where the sand had been eroded away) and worked it hard for the past few weeks. That cut has since filled back in, so there is little risk of me blowing his spot because nobody could find it now anyway even if they knew what state he lived in and what beach he was hunting. I never like to share my friend's spots with others unless invited too, thus the anonymity to him and his spot.
Anyway, from memory, he's got the following...Probably over 2K in scrap gold weight of rings and a few gold religious medals, perhaps 3 to 6 or so silver religious medals, around 3 to 5 or so silver rings, like 6 or 7 silver Washington quarters, several silver Rosie's and mercs, a few other assorted pieces of gold jewelry, and to top it all off a silver Franklin half dollar!
Makes me want to get out and water hunt more when those cuts show up. A local friend had told me of one he was working and having some good success in and when I showed up his too had been filled back in.
Next time I won't hesitate. He didn't do as well as my other friend did at his site but he still made some great finds too.
Just goes to show you guys, when you water hunt your machine can pay it's self off in a day's time. Of course it can do that on land too, but much more chance of that in the water on any given day IMO.
