Before even getting started take a good look at thebeach. You will usually, especially on oceanbeaches, see areas that are washed out. If it hasrained recently you may also notice channelswhere water has run off the upper beach. Thesewould both be good areas to search. If the beachlooks flat with no obvious areas try an S pattern.Walk down the beach at a steady pace from kneedeep up to the high water mark. Eventually, youshould start to find a pocket of targets. Take note ofeach target and its relative location to the highwater mark. Many times, Mother Nature depositsobjects of similar weight in the same area or at thesame distance from the high water mark. Once youfind several targets and they are all located on thesame track you can reduce the size of your patternand just focus on the more productive path. If atany time you hit a pocket of coins, keep digging.Remember, a pocket of coins mean that MotherNature has deposited these items together andmany times you have to dig all of the coins beforehitting the deeper, heavier gold targets which mayhave been masked by the coin signals. It’s notuncommon to dig a hundred pennies beforerecovering a gold ring. I actually used to keep trackof the number of coins recovered. On the beaches Iwas working I knew that for every 75-100 coins Iwould end up with a piece of gold. The onlyproblem is when you find two gold ringsimmediately. Now you know your going to get asore arm digging holes before your next piece ofjewelry.

Sheppard Point Outing on July 19th
The club July outing due to high water at all the other lakes was a return toSheppard Point Recreation Area at Heyburn Lake on Saturday, July 19th andit was a hot one. The high temperature was around the 97° mark , a fairlysteady breeze, and a moderately cool lake water temperature helped some.
The club supplied hamburgers, hot links, hot dogs, buns, condiments, &chips. Roger Eaton again handled the cooking with help from Wally Dick, Ithink it got a little hotter this time. The seasoning salt & onions made theburgers better. Great job Roger and Wally. Thank You! Thanks to JohnFreeman for picking up the food, supplies, extra scoops, one old guy, andtransporting them to the outing. And Thanks again to John Hamilton fortaking & storing the grill & tables and he will be bringing them to thisSummer’s water outings. There were 38 members standing in line to chowdown on burgers, dogs, and the outstanding food assortment brought by clubmembers. Thanks to all those bringing the great side dishes and desserts. Ifyou went away hungry at this outing, again it was your own fault.
After the big feed there were scattered as evenly as possible 195 tokens in a 40yards X 60 yards designated area. There were 20 member donated prizes,and 154 tokens for Silver Mercury dimes, 15 tokens for Silver quarters, and 6tokens for Silver half dollars. When the start signal was given there were 25water hunters frothing the water. After 1 hour+ of hunting, all but 1 Silverdime token and 1 Silver half dollar token were not recovered.
Member donated prizes: Mermaid wooden jigsaw puzzle donated by JinjerBigham won by Howie Rosser. $5.00 donated by Charles & DorisBohuslavicky won by Howie Rosser. $5.00 donated by Charles & DorisBohuslavicky won by Wally Dick.

Again, if you missed this outing, you missed a great one. Don’t miss the nextone!
