I have been walking around with this camera on my head looking more stupid and nerdy than usual and even though I have many hours of recordings this is the first time I had my camera with me, the battery was not drained, the SD card was not filled and after recent rains the digging was fun and easy again.
It doesn't get any better than this as far as I am concerned.

Hunting around my favorite and most trashy type of site a basketball court...but also my highest percentage site of all time that finds me my most precious metals.

I have found a ton of trash, many, many coins, some very nice silver rings and chains around these things and this happens to be the 9th piece of gold I have found in about the last year next to these baskets.

Luckily, I caught this one on film.

LOL!

Yea, gotta work on that.

It is not easy to know exactly where this thing is pointing when it is sitting on top of your head...but I will get better.
 

Nice find !!! The M must be the jewelers or makers mark
 

Why do you have a piece of metal on your thumb?
supposed to increase the range of the pro pointer.

Nice find digger!

And increase it it does.It is supertuning without using that sliding coin trick.
Not only will it slightly increase the range of my Propointer just by holing it my hand regularly by at least an inch or more, I can easily supertune this thing quickly and easily one handed outside of a hole like from the top of the ground before I dig or even in the hole if necessary.
I can usually find coin sized targets from the top of the ground at least 5-6 deep from the top before I dig, maybe even a bit more if the ground is moist.
I won't hunt without some kind of metal band wrapped around my thumb, in this case I just by bags of emt electrical tubing straps from Home Depot and bend the ends.


 

14k M clearly stands for " 14 karat Mexican " haha lol
 

Sweet very sweet.Congrats.
