wet sand fishing

[Caretaker me]

got out a couple of days, got a used cz20 back in Nov but been to busy to get out, it will take all winter at the beach to figure the machine out, I'm hip mounting it and I like it, did some rocks yesterday at the beach and dug out a musket ball 2 wheaties and a 53 dime, so I'm catching on quick, got out to day but haven't looked at the finds yet, it was so cold out there and the dry sand was frozen, what a different 3 days make, I got a nice sunset too, enjoy

Been there done that on N.J. beaches for 10 years to kill cabin fever...Remember disc. low and dig all the medium tones as thats where the gold rings lie..Get a tide table and arrive as the tide is going out and hunt the wet sand as it doesn't freeze. Eat a hearty meal before you start and dress warm especially good gloves and a floral shovel on a rope makes digging easy. Certainly
not for everyone but you will sleep good that night especially if a gold ring is in the pouch...

It can be very relaxing. I like your finds; particularly the lure and musket ball! Congrats on the silver too.

Yesterday I got out to a local community beach on a tidal tributary to a bay and got $1.04 in change, a bunch of sinkers and a nice, but a little worse for wear, fishing spoon. It's called a Crippled Alewive. Made of brass, about 4 inches long, came in mid-tone on the CZ20; was in the water. Water was flat as glass and lower than normal; winds had blown the water out of this side of the bay. I like when that happens and I have a time window to take advantage of it.
Cheers,
