Yesterday I spent a couple of hours cleaning bottle caps and misc. junk metal from a hundred yard stretch of beach in the water along the water's edge.
One fishing sinker and three clad quarters didn't offer much to brag about.
Today was a good day to get out in the water and enjoy the nice weather.
There was an annoying ground swell that was hitting the sand bar about a hundred yards out from the waters edge and losing most of its power.
While the water was low enough to keep the swell in check , Mr Dual Field, Diablo and I managed to get in 4 hours of hunting in what I call "The Boulder Field".
This stretch of beach is somewhat protected and hasn't sanded in as badly as most of the other beaches in the area.
The only drawback is the quantity and size large stones out in the water that make digging a real challenge.
I recovered less junk metal farther away from the water's edge and managed to take home some clad, a sinker, 4 bullets and .61 Troy OZ of gold (Chain and larger cross 14K, two small medallions 18K)
