Working a 4-10 schedule to include Sundays works out great for detecting the beaches during this time of year. Not as many folks out on a Thursday versus a Sat. Once again me and the Mrs took our wave runner out for the day, where I normally drop her off at a cool little island good for shelling and I cruise over to a more popular beach goers area. This day I decided to work the edges of the sand and brush/tree line. Found one nice secluded spot where I would even set up to spend the day. Almost immediately my Garrett rang out with a strong steady tone and after digging six inches through the sand, and a few more in the dirt, out popped my second silver in two weeks, and what a beauty After cleaning off the grime I could see the 925 even with out my reading glasses. Took it by the jewelers today and the rocks are gems and probably amethyst. Found a silver earring last weekend and they told me the little stones were crystals. Man, can't wait to go back. Good hunting all
