    Wen't out today at the beach cold, cold cold.

    I just had to go to the beach to day Tide was - 1.4. Sat will be - 1.8 sun will be -1.9 monday will be -1.8. I think I will go back on sunday. Boy was it cold I was out for 1 hr. and had to go to the car and heat up my fingers they were fronzen. I changed my gloves went back out. I was at OOB Maine Flueinc showed up too. The water was frezeing on every thing. It felt I was swing a block of ice My finds after 2 hrs. 00000000. How cold was it ! well let me tell you it was so cold that when the sea water hit my rod it would freezzz instantly. Flueinc's coil was coverd in ice. I wanted to do a video but my battery diyed on my camra. At one spot in the water when my E-Trac would go off I would dig and I would have a hen clam in my scoop.
    Well after seeing the wether this morning I just might go out today. The wind will gone nothing like yesterday. It was 16 and the wind was up to 50 mph. Tide is low at 4:50 and the tied will be - 1.8 . so back to OOB. Sunday -1.9 I think I will Wells & Ogunquit. Monday is up in the air where I will go if I go. That is Flueinc in photo.

    Sledgehammer and pic ax right? Hi I'm Tana, nice to meet you. Nice find on the tin. I found a Richard Hudnut Three Flowers rouge compact- early 1900's. btw I'm new here and haven't posted any pics yet.

    I admire your gusto- 2 hours! Actually I had the fever last week & went to an old church built in 1780 (found 2 quarters and penny) it was about 35 degrees, but the windchill was biting... I only hunted for about 15 minutes lol. C'mon spring...

    Oldest silver-- 1838o seated dime (no stars)
    Oldest copper-- 1820 LC

    HI: Tana
    Nice to meat you, welcome to the forum. That Friday was a very cold outing at 16 D the the wind was 50 + at times.
    I was dress very well even a face mask. Leslie no it was not fur lined long johns. But I did have long johns that a must on days like that. Can't get fur lined around here anyway that would spoil all the fun. That tin was pretty cool.
