WENT TO FLA. FOR A FEW DAYS

[CASPER-2]

Temps in New England in the 30s and 20s - went to Fla. for a few to hunt it's warmer waters
weather was against me most of the trip
did not hunt nearly as much as I'd hoped
got in Sunday afternoon - hunt about 1 1/2 hr before sunset
Monday - waters were way to rough - even for me - went to casino - I won $100 - my girlfriend won $300
I went to Ft Laud. before sunset - got in and got bashed by waves - did wet sand for about an hour - few coins and foo dog
Tues. went across to Gulf side and hooked up with Ron Lord - hunted about 3 hrs with him
Weds. waters calmed - went to SOBE = all soft sand - few coins
jumped in at a few more spots heading north = all sanded in -probably hunted 4 hrs for the day
Thurs. hunted beach out from my hotel - went about a mile in the water (waters were rough again) still no holes or hard bottom
got out and headed back towards hotel in the wet sand - got a lot of coins = spent about 4 hrs hunting before having to pack and head home
here is the take from the trip (not one of my best Fla. trips) at least I got gold
276 COINS = OVER $12

Hello Casper. Sounds like you hit it hard and by the look of it you did well. Nice digs, silver and gold with diamonds...never had a day like that. What is the lion piece?

Congrats and HH. C9

Well you had a win/win trip! Did you leave any zincs for anybody else? Nice rings. Is the 925/10K stamped in the ring? I found one with 925 & can't make out the other mark. Welcome back to the frozen north!

yes - it is marked 925 10k - center part is gold
with gold prices being high - jewelers are doing all kinds of things to get around using gold (titanium and such with real diamonds) or using much gold (put gold on silver or gold on titanium and other cheap metals - sucks for us)

most days - water was rough

That's a pretty sweet haul! Did you test the foo dog to see if its silver?

was hoping he was silver - he is very heavy - but think he is chromed

Is that you in the water getting ready to get beaned by that huge wave?!!! Looks like the foo dog did bring you good luck!
