Default Tuesday Ocean Hunt *junk*

hi everyone.
spent the day at the ocean today rcat and myself.rain all morning.we looked like 2 fools out therestill not convinced on this pi pro i have.CFMT-craig gave me a setting to try and all i was pullin was sandblasted pieces of aluminum.he told me to listen for the faint signals which i did.then i thought things were starting to look up when i pulled this bracelet.double locking clasp,looked gold kinda so i was excited at first.until i saw little flakes of plating coming off on my fingertips
a junk kids bracelet with a magnetic clasp.i started having more fun pickin up sea glass for my stepmom after i found a big lump of rusty iron shaped like a D for DAVEthat was the last punch in the gut i needed to take off my waders put the pi pro in the truck and hit the dry sand.maybe i should just stick to freshwater and land because i'm starting to get really frustrated with this ocean hunting adventure i've been trying to pursue.maybe the beaches have been hit pretty hard and there ain't much there? i don't know? but in any event i don't know how craig does it? i'm in awe of the stuff he pulls from our CT shores.
well,here's my junk for the day minus 2 pouchfuls of sandblasted aluminum,rusty bottle caps ,batteries,fish hooks,and tin foil.

Don't give up on it yet Dave, a lot of water hunters keep at it all through the winter. The ocean is the only place that isn't frozen over and you can still dig a target during the winter months. I won't start hunting the beaches again until September. I like to let them reload over the summer. Also during the winter most of the sand gets pulled off the beaches and you can get to the deeper stuff. This time of year the sand is being put back by the tides which makes it harder to find the good stuff. Try and get to the beach a couple of hours before the low tide and work your way out with the tide. Maybe this will help you out.
