Not winter at Hampton Beach today

[ashleen]

Hey, maybe there is something to this global warming, after all. The thermometer on my deck read 60 degrees today!!!!!!!!!! So Ralph and I headed for the beach. ( Been Jonesin' for some sand for too long). We've had a few spring like days lately, and no snow was showing along the route we took. Actually saw a few GREEN lawns!
The beach, wonderful tho it was, only yeilded one thin dime , 1998; 2 shotgun shells, and a pretty 925 silver pendant with 2 small garnet cabacons. The trash factor was pretty bad I thought for January.
Seems to be a bumper crop of beached lobster traps...

Nice find!! I go there every now and then in the summer, once when I was there I found a 20 dollar bill rolled up and stuck in between some rocks. Hows the detecting there in the summer? Its always so packed, must be tons of good stuff

Sherm...the weather man just informed me that come Monday we're gonna be buried in snow again! So I'm even more thrilled to have spent the day at the beach. Grateful, actually.......
It's already cooling down.
Even as it was getting dark, I DID NOT want to leave the beach. (typical) lol However, the wind was picking up pretty bad and blew me back to the van almost like I was in zero gravity! i felt like a lightweight

Jake,,,we very rarely MD Hampton in the summer.Altho I do love to night hunt there when there is a full moon; then I bring the van and make a night out of it Just toooooo crowded. Just the traffic there in the summer. My daughter used to live there,,,what a commuting nightmare it was We tend to go to fresh water swimming areas in the evenings 'cuz I like to search the waters edge where all the mothers tended the kids that day.
We have an old Micronta Discovery2 from Radio Shack, that we've had for years. It's so old, the speaker doesn't even work anymore. Earphones do, tho. It has a salt discrim, so I used that today. nada, i mean NOTHING! worked fine yesterday in the yard, today it was dead as a carp. New batteries even. Go figure. Me thinks it's a goner
Ralph used the Garrett GTA 350, and he found the pendant,dime, shells.
I'm thinking there's need of a new detector
