BACK TO THE BEACH


With the day off yesterday I hit the beach again early in the morning.  I had a little better clad day finding coins both in the sand and on the grass.  Still no jewelry.  I wanted to try an afternoon hunt but it was just too hot.  Plus the ground is dry and hard - we are in need of some rain which never seems to come once predicted.  It was nice to hunt in the middle of the week.

SUNDAY HUNT



Happy 4th of July

I did manage a short hunt on Sunday - went to a new school for me - the school looked new - still I tried it and found only 56 cents.  I covered lots of ground but very few hits.  Also it was hot and the ground is very dry so I may not be detecting as deep as I like.  But I got out.

FIRST BEACH HUNT OF THE YEAR



With all the hot weather we've been having I decided to hit a beach early in the morning.  I haven't done well at this beach but I wanted to try the DFX in beach mode.  I managed to find just over a buck in change - no jewelry and a surprise wheat penny in a grass area.  I may go back just to hit the grass and see what else I can find.
