Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
First water hunt of 2014, gridded (as best I can in the water) a small area with the sensitivity cranked moving slower than I ever have just to test a theory and it seemed to work.... I made four passes in a 50 yard part of a beach in 3 1/2 hours of hunting. Not only did I find a few spots with multiple targets but I also found one spot (about 4 square feet) that as I dug up weak high tones, it exposed some deeper high and mid tones that I didn't hear at first. I must have spent 20 minutes in that 4 square foot area before I finally got the quarters out of it and the 3 oz sinker that was to deep to hear until I dug down to get the quarters. The hoop earring is 14k (2.7 grams) and it came up with a dime in the scoop which I assume was the high tone I was digging... Fun time and I was learning a lot .... never had so many multiple targets under the coil before.... was it the spot or the technique..... I think I know the answer now!
Some real old style pull tabs in that pile... and the T shaped nylon dive weight about blew my ears off.

Figured I'd post this for those up north that can't get out for a hunt.

HH and GL everyone

I've heard of them being gold but this was my first hoop that looked good, was marked and tested good for 14k too. Guess they are out there, just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
