Hit the oceanfront today for low tide, Max was right behind and linking up soon after I arrived. Targets were few and there were 4-5 of us out there banging around. I seriously thought of just making it a quick on after hearing from a couple other pirates that they had already covered a few blocks and only had 1-2 tgts to show for their efforts. I thought, "great, another exercise spin". Of course that was until I got my first tgt! I was hunting open screen on the CTX and the first return rang in at 12.40. I thought ok, quarter, silver, something like that but then it quickly changed to a low tone and was a 12.03. It was deep 10-12", took a little digging but pulled a little 10K with some small ice. It looks as if there may have been other stones in in (around 12 or so) at one time but it doesn't really matter as the tester says "Thbbbbbbbttt" to them so most likely CZ's. Marked (and tested) 10K and is 1.5 grams, bigger than the last couple I have found this year. In the same spot I dug the copper bracelet and the stud earring, no marks and looks like a crapper (hoping that is fake as I lost it soon after getting home and cleaning up my kit!),same as the big BLING earring with more fake ice.
The IPhone 6 was a real SOB to get out of the drink. It was right in the wash, one of the other pirates was trying to dig it, said he was calling it quits after about 10 mins and many scoops and said have at it. I ran the CTX over it saw the signal was kind of a "mix" and figured it was sunglasses or a phone. It took me about 15-20 more minutes of me pushing it from one side of the hole to the other (which was now getting deeper and wider) till I was finally able to pull it out. It was in a "waterproof" case (ha, ha) but the water and sand was already inside. After getting home, I rinsed it real quick, dropped it in a bag of rice and will leave it in the sun or furnace room a few days and see if it still (doubtfully) works. Someone did say that even not working I may still get some $$ for it. (Gazelle says $50-$80 so that works!)
Thanks for looking and good luck all! #6 for me! Watch out OBN! I'm hot on your tail! LOL Yeah RIGHT! What's the count today buddy? 50? 100? I'll get there!
