Yesterday I spent almost three hours wading in the cold yet placid water at our local beach swinging my Dual Field. The strap tore loose from the cuff on my right hand rubber gauntlet and I was forced to use neoprene diver's gloves. I had forgotten to bring another pair as a spare. A handful of junk metal, a silver toe ring and necklace, and five pennies were all I had to show for lots of digging and suffering with cold arms and hands.

This AM I decided to check out a different section of beach and spent three hours of dodging swells out of the south-east which somehow soaked my right hand causing discomfort worse than yesterday. There was no wind to drive the swells so it puzzles me how they could be so large.

Persistence paid off though, because I was able to recover 85 cents, eleven bottle caps, a bit of brass, 4-fishing sinkers, some junk iron, 2-bobby-pins,

CJ, I retired my shoulder length gloves and I have started hunting with no gloves, yeah its a bit chilly with the water temps in the 40's but it beats the low 30's

Thanks for your replies Friends!

Once in a while the sand shifts enough to expose a good one and I you're there at the right time, with the right tools and the right technique you "get lucky"!

It's foggy out there this AM with warmer temps and if the work phone doesn't sound off I may go for a short hunt later.

Craig, no gloves? If my hands are suffering wearing gloves I can't imagine hunting without them!

Best to you all,

CJ
