Post Hurricane Hunt

First day out after hurricane Mattew. It was not very good. I went at low tide but there still wasn't much beach to detect because a lot had been washed away. It was also freezing, which I am happy about after such a hot summer. I found tons of clad. Clad that had been sitting there a long time but not old (year wise) either. I will be hitting a few other beaches later this week and post if I get anything good. Here are some pics. The first is just my detector and the next two are from my travels from Charlotte back to Wilmington yesterday afternoon:

 

In this picture you can see water covering part of I-74 near Lumberton NC. It covered the road in the morning; this was closer to 4pm and it was way down.

 

In this picture you can see the whole house surrounded by water. There were tons of neighborhoods and streets just like this. In some the water was as high as their mailboxes

hurricane update

There is going to be a lot of movement out there over the next few days. Be safe florida

Hurricane coming!

For those keeping an eye on this storm, here is a great site which compiles most of the data from various research and weather centers:

So far it looks like it will stay out to sea but its still too early to tell.

Recent Silver

These are my recent silver finds. I haven't been out as much due to the school year...I have found a number of rings and such but they were all junk but these.

Minelab CTX: Wet and Dry Sand Beach Patterns

These are the patterns that I am currently using. Please keep in mind that they may or may not work with your beaches and/or hunting style. 

Silver

I found a large silver earring today. Solid and 2 inches in diameter so its a good find. I haven't weighed it yet but it's on the larger end compared to most of the other pieces of silver I find. Then I found this junk earring, which I posted just for fun.

August

August was a busy month. I found a bunch of silver this month but no gold:( Here is my clad along with some of my junk. Surprisingly I found a silver dime in the bunch. I've got a lot of other junk jewelry not shown in this pic...probably 20 junk rings and pendants.
