When I waded out with my Dual Field at low tide this AM the water was dead calm, but after a couple of hours of hunting a fairly brisk breeze started out of the east/s.east. The air temp was in the mid-40s F.
The 42Degree F. (surface temp) water kicked up enough wave action to make hunting a bit of a struggle with the sifter bouncing around creating a moving target for my heavy scoop load of sand and stone.
After 3.5 hours, so as to avoid burn-out, I called it a day. I had found 57 targets and recovered 55 including 22-coins (none silver or old), 1-brass arcade token, 1-.22 Cal. bullet, 4- fishing sinkers and the rest was misc. junk.
No gold or silver, but it was great getting out in the water again and next time out I won't have to dig these targets!

PS 22 hours on the Dual Field batteries so far and the signal is still strong!

Sounds like 2010 is getting underway at last, temps rising your way and here in the UK. Thanks for a post that isn't dripping in gold - though I really, really do like those too. It's just that I've been out on wet sand several times in the last two weeks and found junk, junk and only junk. Yeah, ok, that stuff is off the beaches, can't say it's been a massive clean-up effort, though.
