Ventured down to Siesta Key Beach today

with the wifey. We've never been there and I wanted to give it a try with the detector. Beautiful beach. nice soft white sand. I briefly talked with a couple of regulars there. They said to expect at least 10 or so guys in the water with detectors. Sure enough I didn't count them all but wholly cow there were a lot. Overall an ok day. NO GOLD! not sure about the other guys, hope they fared better than I did. Had a few thunder boomers show up and they all scattered. We stayed and in a 1/2 hour they were gone and it turned out to be a beautiful day. I found 1 titanium ring and 1 .925 silver ring along with a toe ring. So technically it was a three ring day! Lots of Bobby pins of course! Here's a couple of pics of the take.

Before I installed the screen I found ZERO studs and small trinkets. Since I installed it last week this is what I've found.

I'll be down at the southern tip of Siesta Key over Labor Day--Sea Club 5-were you close to there? Had a friend come back last week and said he only saw one guy out there and he was north obout a half mile( el Presidenti Condo's). Hope to do some good as well--how much of you scoop do you screen? I know i hit those and never get them due to falling out the scoop and drifting away from me.HH

Not sure, that was the first time I've ever been there. I only screened it half way up the sides and back.
