Old Ma Nature finally gave us a break this afternoon with low tide and moderate temperatures, gentle breeze out of the south and equally gentle swells making the water easy to hunt.

After over four hours of hard digging I took home three 10K rings, two silver rings, a bus token and a Madona medal of heavy copper that was silver plated at one time and has the date 1830 on it!

Two of the rings are senior rings one from 1970 and the other 1935!

Just to keep things in perspective I'm showing every bit of metal that was dug to allow me to get the gold.

I hand held the little Fuji Camera and most of the shots turned out fine.

Thanks Ron,

It was a heavy work-out for this old bod and I hope I'm not too sore tomorrow!

When newcommers look at the rings they don't understand how much work is involved and how much scrap metal and junk is dug up to get those rings.

I tell people often that it is not about the money or the gold, but the fun of the hunt.

That fish hook is almost as important as the gold to me as this is a swimming beach with lots of bare feet during the season!!

GL&HH Friend,

God CJ, just looking at that hook, makes my feet hurt Good job.

I have removed a half dozen or so from the water and seven from on the beach that had washed ashore tangled in seaweed this year!

Beach combing in the early morning is a great way for me to start my day and serves the public good too!!

Best to Ya Friend,

CJ

Hey Pal, you're far better for the environment than either Gore or Obama!

HI CJ. The 1830 date on the religious medal is not the date that it was manufactured. In the Catholic faith, I believe it was the year the Blessed Mary
appeared to some children in Fatima, France. I hope my facts are correct. Dave.

Thanks for your replies Friends.

Thanks for the compliment silversmith!

I've had similar thoughts!

Dave I suspected as much, but didn't have any facts!

Thanks for solving the question of the date!!

Regards to you Fellow Hunters,

CJ
