:usaflag: New Year's Day Hunt!! :detecting:

[Cupajo]

The local temperatures were in the mid to high 40's this afternoon (not bad for the Ct shore on the first day of January) and allowed me to test my new 5 Mil neoprene chest waders.

About the only thing I can brag about concerning this hunt is that I can't remember ever hunting on the first day of the year and the waders didn't leak!

The area I hunted was badly sanded in with a narrow strip of stony bottom maybe ten feet out from where the water washes ashore.

Curiously I was able to find a coin drop where the sand was very deep maybe a hundred feet from shore and recover nearly a dollar's worth of clad.

One small silver "nose" ring and lots of bottle caps and aluminum bits and pieces rounded out the finds.

I got out there late today and only had two hours of hunting before the sun went down. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I hope to start earlier and broaden my search area.

Hey CJ... our blizzard just sanded in the beaches down here as well.. although they did scour out the slopes a bit... I just don't have the time to hunt like I did in past winters with the wife out of work and me trying to make up the difference

Hi Craig,

With temps in the mid-40s and water calm I had to get out there even if I found nothing!

Fortunatly I did find some exposed bottom near the edge of the water wgere I was walking on cobbles. This narrow strip yielded three dollers in clad between yesterday and today, 9-bottle caps, two fishing sinkers, some bits of aluminum and steel and other junk items.

Two small silver rings (1-nose ring and 1-toe ring) rounded out four hours plus worth of hunting.

At the very least I know I won't have to dig these items again,
