Yesterdays low tide hunt.

[crazyman]

A lttle gold and silver yesterday. You need at least a minus 2.5 tide to get to the end of the dock where the fishing/swimming platform is. Most of the finds come from a 100x100 ft. area. I've pulled hundreds of coins and a few pieces jewelry so far this year and this site just keeps giving and giving.

Wow, I am from Seattle and had never heard of "Indianola" before..... But those "Buzz Bombs" sure do ring a bell! LOL..
I also never remember seeing people swim around piers before either.. Usually, the piers I am used to, had signs saying "no diving or swimming"...
Makes me wonder about detecting the water when I get back towards home...

Really nice finds buddy..

Thanks guys! Silver Surfer, the docks that are in the shallow bays out of the strong tide currents are used for swimming by the teenagers in our short summer months. Unfortunately they usually don't wear the big gold with diamonds. I think most of the pocket change comes from the fisherman. Most docks around here are deep water docks so even at super low tides you can't get to the fishing and or swimming platforms on the end. Joe, I had every intention of videoing the hunt yesterday but got tide up experimenting with different settings on the GT to hit even deeper smaller targets. That in itself was a learning lesson as lower sensitivity gave me much better results on this nasty beach. Here are all the finds so far this year and from the last several hunts at the dock with most of the finds coming from a 100x100 ft area at the end of the dock.

thats one kick butt hunt in my book.. holey moley you did fantastic.

The areas around where I grew up are really rocky... You use a scoop, shovel, or just fan the water?
I dive too, so when I get back home I plan on hitting some heavily used docks with my gear on and detector in hand! I can only imagine how much change (and sinkers) will be around the old fishing pier I used to fish from... LOTS of people have and do use it, as well as ferry goers and tourists... Space between boards means a lot of clad plunks... LOL..

Silver Surfer, yes scoops are a little hard to use around here in most areas and the closer to shore the more rocks you have to dig through so I use a short shovel most of the time. This particular beach is pretty sandy once you get away from the shore line but still has sporadic large rocks under a foot or so below the sand. I don't dive anymore because of inner ear problems but that is the way to go around here at slack tides.

wow What a collection of finds! WTG

You have a nice digging spot there,i would show the finds,but i would not be sharing pics of that ''Goldmine Pier/Dock''

 

[fathead]

As a former avid fisherman, we used to make a donation to the "sea gods" before each trip. That might explain all of the clad. Nice hunts. Great spot.
