When the Beach Gods are not on your side

[TwoYewts]

Hunting bud dropped by and we headed out to the shore. A little overcast but a nice day for a beach hunt. Arrived at our destination and saw the markings of some erosion:



Put a smile to my face since last weekend I was cursing at the Beach Gods for a lack luster hunt...(lesson learned do not curse at the Beach Gods as they will play very mean tricks on you). Started thinking the Gods had heard me as hit after hit kept coming as we worked our way down the bank in the wet sand and shallow water. My friend landed the first non coin hit with a nice .925 Sterling womans ring. I soon followed with a nice Triton Tungsten TC 850 wedding band style ring (sounded great in the scoop). After popping nickel after nickel I figure it was going to be a good ring day..was in the groove. Next for me was the Mickey Mouse copper ring. A couple of little charms drove me nuts (especially the crab) as it kept falling out of the scoop. A beautiful yellow glint brought a smile to my face, only to be taken away when no marking can be found on a nice looking earring and a small spot showed the gold color fading away. Then the cruelest of cruel joke played by the gods....great sound, great color, stones...a truly movie moment with the sun's rays glinting off the gold colored COSTUME JEWELRY RING (no markings)! UGH!. Never shall I anger the gods again. Multi-jewelry day and not one a beautiful golden circle to claim. Enjoy the pics...hope your hunts went better!





Happy Hunting!

Clearly you've appeased the Detecting Gods somehow as your take today was FAR more interesting than the 70 cents I found. What ritual did you perform to get in their good graces?

Cut hunting. Is there anything better? Congrats on a GREAT hunt!

Hope springs eternal! Has your beach been replenished?

Went hunting today for the first time at Destin Pointe sandbank. All I found was a nail that I threw in the trash can so that no one would step on it. The sand flies were biting something awful this afternoon.

s1u2r3f4, yes, the majority of the beaches by me have been replenished. The larger ones especially.

Thanks Terry. Would have enjoyed it more if I actually walked away with gold! ��

Lol, I was just like you certman, last weekend I walked away with about 20 crusty Lincolns, a dollar in Quarters and a decent pair of sunglasses and a ton of garbage. I thought that my CZ-21 had lost its magic. I was muttering obscenities to the gods under my breath that entire hunt...didn't help my finds but it did keep beach goers from approaching "the crazy man talking to himself" ��

Sorry for the junque

A ring is a ring and even if its not real gold or silver it beats pull tabs a crusty's better days will come.

This is true!

Oh, what a heart-breaking , but interesting post, Two-Yewts

The finds look real good...I'm sorry that they weren't "up to par"; I sure wish the the best in your next hunt.

I love the pics of that cut; very inviting!

thanks for sharing

Wow! That looks like it was a fun day! Congratz!!!

 

[RustyGold]

That's a lot of digging. It looks like a great time was had by all!

 

[MrMikeJackie]

I worked the same cut, same results. All filled in now

Yeah, I figured it was not going to last long. Was trying to swing a day off work to try to get back out there before all was lost..but not possible. The Gods are truly spiteful! Thanks all for the comments and looking.

Best of luck on your ventures!
