All Treasure Hunting
got in after low on sunday - got in for a few hours and got a silver ring
got in yesterday for around 5 hrs - got this one after about an hour
Hit a spot with some hard bottom - viz was pretty good - only problem
was I started seeing holes here and there - looked around and saw a guy hunting farther
north from me - he must have come thru here first. I saw some trash in and near holes
which did not make me happy. I went around the area cause the bottom was what
we look for down there - tons of shells - coral fist size to some as big as your head.
I was getting good hits in-between some of these holes and started to pull up some coinage.
and some junk earrings.
Came upon a spot loaded with iron with a few holes - I think he may have cranked his discrim.
or just moved on through - I was hunting in all metal and took out some of it
but was getting a bunch of low tone hits
with each swing
(which on the CZ are bad- usually)
so I started to click over to iD mode with each hit and go for the mid and high tones (which are usually good)
I got a deep hit and it read off high tone and scooped down about a foot - gave scoop a
few shakes and had to pluck a few larger pieces of coral out...few more shakes to get the smaller shell frags out
and then I saw the glint of gold thru the remaining debris and thought I had a wedding band. Reached
in with my thumb and index finger and was surprised when I saw the stones sitting on my thumb.
Oh yeah!
Getting ready to head out as I finish this post. Hoping to find this ring some friends for the flight home.
2 more days to hunt...if that's the only gold I get - at least it is a good one

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to you TOO! Wowza... nice catch dude!
Did you do any "in water" hunting or just dry stuff?
 

That's a lot of diamonds....what a great find!
 

Beautiful ring, congrats! :icon_thumleft:

that is from water - that is all I do on beaches is water

NIIIICE... I just got a pair of waders and am starting to get serious about water hunting. next step is a wetsuit.
I'll be studying some of your posts and the information you've posted on your water hunts. Congrats on the recent rings.:icon_thumleft:
 

Glad you had a chance to thaw out a bit and find some gold! :thumbsup:
 

Casper!
You did good my friend, very nice find. Looks like you demonstrated how many hunters overlook targets that are right under their scoops. With a little knowledge and patience it can be found.
Hope you post the rest of your finds, because I know if its there You Will Find It. Keep up the great work. Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
