6 Hours in the Rain Hunting Old Rip Currents LOTS OF GOLD!

I went out in the wind & rain to try out the Excalibur II I bought yesterday. It was well worth it!

Here is a video of my plan and the results! Some lightning too!

Nick, that is quite a video! Sophisticated and intriguing!

You even got King Midas to do a cameo appearance; also, great choice on the music!

I love those gold and silver treasure finds! Mega congratulations on a fine , intelligent, well thought out hunt.

That is a great video and that lightning strike reminds a person to get off the beach when it pops like that. Thanks for sharing.

Please tell us you didn't go out on the beach with a metal rod in your hands during the thunderstorm!

The photo of the Rip in the video was taken 06/10/11. I've noticed that some areas are taken every few months while others are taken yearly.

Once you pull up the image you want, go up to "view" and click "historical Imagery".....a time bar will appear in the upper left of the screen. You can use this time bar to run from the most current image (extreme right of bar) or you can bring up older images by moving the bar tab to the left. It's a neat feature because you can see how your beaches changes over time. Quite often you will find rips where there was once just flat beach, etc. Offshore anomalies can also be viewed sometimes.

PS: As you select each image it will tell you when that image was provided.

You planned it and executed it with
success. Good for you.

Hey a guy named Midas found the same stuff on his first ever metal detecting hunt. What a coincidence.
