11-13 AM Beach...Gold switch ON!!!

[stpauli914]

I just knew after yesterdays hunt that there were some good targets to be had. Hit at the crack of dawn this morning and really put my head down! First target was a junk bracelet. That got me going even if it was junk, I was thinking JEWELRY!! After a few really green coins I got a whisper of a signal that I could only pick up every 2 or 3 sweeps. took out a scoop and it was stronger, but a bit broken. I am immediatly thinking deep bottlecap as is mostly the case with these types of signals. Another scoop, still in the hole, but signal is now sounding a little better...hmmmmm. 3rd scoop, its out. Kick the pile and the sweet sight of gold appears!!! Boy I wish I had a camera, the sun shining off of it looked soooooo pretty! Small gold band two tone white and yellow gold(explains the broken signal). I didn't see the stamp until I got home it is very worn but 14K!! After that I really slowed down and found quite a few more crusty green coins. Ran into the AT Pro newbie that I met yesterday and showed him the ring. All he had found was a quarter and some trash. I told him to scrub the edge and we parted in different direactions. An hour or so went by with not much to show for it when I got a nice solid signal that really sounded good. 2, 3, 4 scoops wow, gotta be a can or some other large junk. Almost walked but one more scoop and I saw it in the hole. WW2 shell that was VERY DEEP! I see ATPRO headed back toward me scrubbing the edge like I told him. He shows me a couple old greenies and I showed him the shell. We parted and ten feet further in his tracks I get a clean but deep signal. 3 scoops and I pop out the other 14k band! Turn and catch him to show it to him. I dropped it back in the hole at the same depth and had him try and get a reading. Nope. Nothing. I check again with the excal and yup, still a nice clean signal. Parted ways and headed home for a well deserved shower. Heres some pics, enjoy!

Love the whisper signals, in pp and I get whisper if it's in the first scoop it's almost always a piece of can slaw. when it's 2 or more scoops I start getting excited! Well your on a roll!!

Ever since you posted on my thread a couple of days ago that it's been a while since you found some gold, I've been following your hunts. I'm glad to see that you scored, not one, but TWO golds on the same hunt. Nice double tap you got there and those bands look amazing with a very respectable weight. I saw your one hunt with all those silver rings and said to myself.. "Gold is right around the corner with finds like that" and look at you now... Nice job

I think they should make the gold switch bigger... I usually can't find it. Congrats - nice rings.

St. Pauli-----What do you mean" scrub the edge"?? Scrape sand off? Does it improve the signal?? Thanks

 

[stpauli914]

By "Scrub the edge" I mean keep the coil as close to, or in contact with the ground as you sweep. The closer the coil is to the ground the greater depth you will get, naturally. The "edge" as I am sure you are aware is the area where the waves are breaking(the "edge" of where the water meets the beach). This is also where a lot of targets get packed in due to the wave action.

Guess those At's are not all there worked up to be? Maybe his settings were wrong? Congrats on the great finds!

Just goes to show -- discrimination is not a friend of the gold finder.
