This AM I decided, as I often do, to walk the local beach and do a little "beach combing" to see if last nights powerful rain/thunderstorm might have exposed anything.

I have been watching for arrow heads and have found two flint points in the past month just laying there exposed on the sand with foot prints all around them.

They are of course treasure of a different sort, but not all that easy to find.

This AM as I got into the return leg of my excursion I spied this 1" gold hoop earring shining in the morning sun-light. It is the first jewelry I have "eyeballed" without a detector in my hand although I have, as I mentioned in my last post, seen barely exposed jewels before I passed the coil over them on occasion.

The foot print is one of many around the jewel.

I can't find any markings on the piece I'm certain it is gold. It doesn't weight much which is typical of these hoops, but it is a pretty thing.

taking pictures of things that you find. Showing the pictures add to the excitement of the story and make the story more interesting. Does the salt air affect the camera? Keep the pictures and stories coming...I enjoy them! Kelley (Texas) :)
 
Hi Fred,

I'm glad you enjoy the photos. The camera is a little green Fuji WP (Water Proof) camera and is a fixed lens camera with all sorts of electronic features that elevates it above the old type "box" cameras for versatility.

The operation is simple enough for this Ol Country Boy!

I did manage to capture my reflection when I shot the control side of the camera though.

It can do "Macro" shots and limited "telephoto" as well as "normal' shooting. The photos are fair to excellent in quality as you can see. The camera fits in my T-shirt pocket for easy carry and is water proof to 10'! The manufacturer cautions against getting it sandy as the grit can muck up the controls.

I asked Santa for it and wasn't crazy about the color, but it was the only color to be had locally at the time.

Sometimes Santa just does the best she can!

Thanks for your kind replies Friend,

CJ
