Yesterday hit the school again after work. Put in so much time and effort cleared a ridiculous amount of trash over past hunts there and lots of hours. Finally gold is starting to show up as I'm able to get deep signals. Popped what's left of a gold bracelet broken but hey gold is gold and got a decent percentage of it. Also found a odd lead bead like thing kept it because it seemed odd eh lol.

Your persistence is paying off, congratulations on the gold. 10k?
No idea both golds I've found at this school are missing the clasps to identify the karat of gold. This one is 10k or 14k nothing about that I think the pendent is 14k has a cleaner look. I'm leaning this one is 10k but possibly 14k too. Definitely gold though on the breaks I see gold all the way through and scratches on the main piece are gold through as well. Yeah I've not the luck to find anything not missing something or broken here yet.
 

There is a sad Diana somewhere.
At some point there was indeed. And a sad me because looks like at some point in its time on the ground a lawn mower had a go at it before it sunk into the depths.
 

That just means there is more of it to find nearby
Could be. I haven't even touched the other side of the school yet. Focused on clearing this side. Think I'll as I can do this side a few more times since I've removed so much trash

If a mower hit it that just means you get the fun of finding the rest of it

If someone didn't already find it lol. Though I have a feeling there's more gold around to sniff out on this side. All my silver and gold here have been deep once I've cleared the trash layer and turned up my sensitive and reactivity low I've been able to hear the deep stuff clear
 

Your persistence is starting to pay off even in the learning curve of the new machine.
Congrats on the latest piece of gold.

I am enjoying how deep this machine can go especially when you learn to tweak things as needed. Oh and I had finally took the time to carefully read the directions and learn each function. I guess ghat helps lol
 

And it wasn't long ago that you were proclaiming that gold was impossible for you to find....now the flood gates are open and your getting gold every week !! Your .mindset has changed, and so has your fortune !! Congrats John !!

I'm just stubborn and will to dig the trash lol. It is though after like 4 to 5 hour hunts though to pull that stuff digging most midtones not fun stuff lol
 

Yup...I do understand that mentality.....it has worked well for me also. I save some of the pull tabs, and it takes a tremendous number to fill a jar.....I have several jars !!😂🤣😅

I’m not leaving till I get the gold and going back and back
Your determination is rewarding you
