Hello all, I decided to do a beach hunt this past Saturday so I headed to Stewart beach early and arrived there at about 6:am. I was using my Explorer SE and was only finding clad. At about 8:am I looked up and there was literally about 15 other people detecting, young and old. It was obvious that they were newbies or just giving it a whirl because some had detectors that I doubt would ever find anything on the beach but you gotta love it. They were out there swinging and enjoying the start of the memorial weekend. By the time that I left, there was, and I kid you not, at least 20 people swinging a detector. There was a couple of other guys out there that were geared up with nice machines and the right beach accessories for hunting.

I got back into Houston at about 10:am and decided to stop at a local park that still has woods around it to do a little hunting. I had loaded a new program into my Explorer and wanted to try it out. I had been in the woods for about 15 minutes or so and got a signal that was repeating. It was coming in at 08-06, 09-06 and 10-06. The tone remained the same and the numbers kept hitting one of those three no matter which way I swung over the target. Needless to say, I dug it and this it what produced. It looks like it had been repaired at one time where it is broken. There was no mark on the inside and some of the design looks hand stamped. The only way for me to know if it's really gold is to do an acid test which I now have on order.
HH,
