just got back from short trip to Bahamas
started off slow - finished strong
others had been here over the last 2 weeks - I had to take left overs - no new coins or new jewelry
sometimes walked for hours with out a hit
- tungsten ring and titanium might have been more recent drops
about 98% of finds were foot or more down - a lot of stuff was faint and close to 2 feet down
I hunted in all metal most of the time -gold was deep - silvers were deep
most all coins had a crust - some more than others
I got into the zone an hour before I had to leave - heavy crusted coins -gold ring with diamonds and rubies and encrusted silver band
I know theres more gold in that spot -it was a jet ski area -
all over the world - where they have jet ski rentals - they throw you out (no swimming -no detecting) - but if you go early before they are there - bingo
regular swimming areas on both sides I got junk and almost no good targets like 100 yrds in both directions
other guys that hit here could not hit when jet skis were operating and hammered the swim areas too
- I went in that spot at 7am
and was getting tons of hits - more good than bad there - had to move at 9am when they set up
wish I could have stayed another day - I know theres more gold in there with the amount of good deep targets I was getting
others missed these caked coins and deep targets (this is a popular beach with visiting TH'ers) - so Im sure if I go back - stuff will probably be there - unless others start using all metal and taking it all out
1 - platinum & 18k gold ring (very heavy)
2 - white & yellow 14k bands
1 - white gold 14k band
1 - ruby & diamond ring 14k
2 - silver
1 - tungsten carbide
1 - titanium
1 - junker? - might be silver -have to test

Dang you killed it Casper! That looks like a bunch of fun. Is that a CZ-21 I see in the pic? Maybe you can give me some pointers. I got one last year and could use a little help.
 

Really nice gold & silver rings! Those coins are really crusty! Only the can tops and bottoms are left?
They should have given you a big discount for cleaning their tourist beach!

there are little bits and pieces of can sides in there - for the most part - the thin sides will break up and dissolve over time -but the heavier tops and bottoms dont
 

Casper , Awesome stuff as usual. You must be dying to get back to that spot. Figures you just find the hot spot and you gotta leave
 

Now that looks like an AWESOME vacation!!!
 

Did you do a lot of research about what public beaches you wanted to hit before you got there, or just hit the ones outside your hotel?
 

Awesome Casper! That's what vacations at the beach are all about!
 

All I have to say is, WOW! Man, you hit the mother lode! Congrats :notworthy:
 

:o Damn Casper,tearing up the Bahamas aren't you.nice finds man.
 

Casper, you cleaned up in more ways then one. I am heading to the DR with my Sea Hunter II next week and you Sir have given me alot of inspiration, Thanks.
