Well, it's not gold, but after digging up a bunch of trash, I found this under my coil.

I hope this is just the beginning...

A 18" Puka necklace wich a shell attached. Has no real value other than to me!

I bet it is just the begining for you. Keep up the hunting and be patient. HH Burdie
 

This is lohis wife. Great find!!! I don't think your find is worthless. If it is infact an authentic Pooka Shell and not a replica, I was told they are an extinct shell found off the coast of Hawii and the one I have is quite vaulable. The shape of the shell is a great clue. What they call a raw shell has not been modified or filed down. The center is sunk in and it has a lip around the edge. You have a beautiful piece as far as I am concerned. Good luck on future hunts...
 

Congrats on that first find, gives an entire new meaning to " ahhhh beep beep" doesn't it lol. Hope the future brings you many more just as exciting.
 

Paul,

congrat on that first find, nice.

Sure you will have many more interesting finds.

have a good un......

Cool! I bet that didn't give a really good signal, huh? Is there any metal other than the clasp? Good job!

Your right, it didn't give much of a signal at all. It was down about 3" in the sand.

Hey Paul R....nice find and Congrat's,Still have my first set of Pooka's from the late 70's.Maybe "lohi's" right,check into it,you never know..Great find and HH!!
 

Don't think that you have to find something under your coil to call it treasure!! MDing is just a small part of treasure hunting.
Keep your eyes open for all kinds of stuff! don't be afraid to bend over a dumpster, or hit a garage sale with a vengeance.
Treasure is where you find it.
Dano.
