Another short hunt!
Was gonna be hot today, so got out early. Had my coffee, constitutional, abit of eats, and hit my pond. I hunted in GH’s combined w/ stock coil for first 3 hours. As per Fred’s recommendation, dug most targets. Coins all corroded, pennies, nickels, dimes. Pull tabs galore, gold ring, melted aluminum, square deals not sure what they are yet. Soaking in olive oil as we speak.
Switched to my new 6” coil, second half of hunt. Picked out some pennies amongst trash that I’d missed before, but in all fairness, I was cherry picking last week.
Gotta do some thing, if I can’t go to AZ and find gold. Hey, did I mention I found a gold ring? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pulling all those pull tags and melted aluminum paid off. Ring has two stamps, that I can’t read even under magnification, but more creamier butter color than 14k. Will have it checked. Bummer is, showed it to wife, and it fit, ;-( Hate Karma!
