I was thinking to myself as I was driving home from work today that I hadn't done any water hunting yet this year. I checked out the tide charts and noticed a slight negative low tide this evening for 8:39pm. Perfect timing for an early evening water hunt.
Got to the beach at 6:30 strapped on my gear and made a B-line into the water until I was knee deep in it. Started surveying and feeling around for the lower hard packed areas and found a spot. My very first target I heard was a very faint whisper and about 4 scoops later I saw the glistening gold in the scoop. It's only 10k but still a nice signet ring. I should had left right then because for the next two hours all that found my scoop was fishing tackle, can slaw and a 1958 wheat penny.
