First hunt was on farm field and I think I'm missing closer to where the good stuff is hiding on 20 acres.
The D buckle had a silver coating which you can see in photo. Part of horseshoe for a pony.
I was reminded why I used to wear gloves (left in my car) when I dug what looks like a crossbow bolt.
It was on edge of hole pointing up on a 45 degree angle. That would have done some real damage
if I was hurrying and digging with my hands, after making initial hole, which I never do but have seen guys in Youtube videos doing this. It shows there are some dangerous things waiting to be recovered in the ground. I thought the stone might be a arrow point due to quartz on both sides but probably not.
The second hunt was from Oct. 18th off Jersey Coast. There was about a 8-12" fresh sand covering
much of the beach after coastal storm. So the targets were few. I did see piles of sand for the bulldozers
to spread at various places. The long pointed shell is from a horseshoe crab and the small white circle
is a sand dollar. Two quarters, a dime and a penny. One bottom of a beer bottle in one hole dug.
Total bust for beach. Timing is everything and every hunt does not produce rings etc.
I was there all week and saw dolphins every day and my first humpback whale ever not far off the beach. He/she was swimming with the dolphins chasing school of fish.
I only hunted once there after seeing conditions. HH!
