Met up with a big name within the detecting community, Chicago Ron, and we worked a beach, later to be joined by his detecting partner Mark. This was a great opportunity to test my skills against some of the best md'ers out there. As I was walking onto the beach, Ron tossed up a ring, and yes, it was gold. I thought to myself, "Damn this guy is good, I hope I can hang." A few minutes later, another one, and then another. 3 gold rings within the first hour. Due to the conditions on this beach, took note on Ron's swing speed and slowed myself down to snail speed. We were digging Identical junk targets, so I knew I was on the right track to getting something good...just have to swing my coil over it. Shortly later, I walked up to Ron as he was pinpointing and dropped my first gold of the day in from of him. Fist bumped and on we went. (Look for his video of our hunt on YouTube soon: http://www.youtube.com/user/chicagoron61 ). The goods kept popping out for everyone, including some silver coins, V's and buffs and other stuff. Mark did very good as well, and they offered some great tips too. Thanks guys! It was fun hunting with you guys, and am looking forward to the next time. Be sure to check out his videos once they get posted on his YouTube account to see all of the gold and silver we found.
Totals for me were: 5 gold rings, silver bracelet, 3 maybe 4 silver rings(still have to clean it), 1 or 2 junk rings, piece of silver jewelry, and a couple junk pendants. Still have to dig out another silver pendant I dug. Also got a war nickel, merc, rosie, and have to check the other coins too. Might have some more silver in the pouch. For size reference, the ring with the "S" on it fits on my thumb.
I was happy with my results, and feel much more confident in my hunting style now. Ended up fairing pretty well hunting with these guys. Also a confidence booster.
Enjoy and HH.

Looks like a great hunt for everyone. No matter how much we hunt there is always room to learn something new. I got 5 gold in Ft. Lauderdale a while back so I know you are on cloud 9 right now. Confidence is a huge part of detecting. I feel like I'm gonna find something good every time I go out there. WTG 
WoW! What a dream hunt. Congratulations from an envious MD'r in New York!
