They call it "Mellow Yellow"

Went out with TreasureFiend today for a few hours. He worked the wash, while I worked the water. Lots of trash, and a few silver coins too. Managed to dig 2 14k rings, one of which has a really nice sapphire, and part of a ??k chain/bracelet. All in all a good hunt. 5 silver coins and 3 pieces of gold. the first pic is a little blurry, but has a nice shot of the sapphire. the 2nd pic is a bit clearer. Enjoy and HH.
Weights are:
sm. ring 1.4g, chain 1.7g & lg. ring 7g.

great finds always wanted to hunt the water one of these days it looks to be fun but i have heard it is a lot of work too dennis

Re: They call it "Mellow Yellow"

It is a lot of work. About ten pounds of trash per ring

But definitely fun, because you never know what's going to be in your scoop.

Going to be your year doing water hunting if you keep scooping that much gold.

I'll snap a pic and post later tonight. They're already in holders, but that's okay. You'll see how dark they come out of the water.

Mine is the "Stealth" by Sunspot. A very good scoop. Large enough not to have to rescoop a bunch. Usually get the target on the first try.

Its good for the dry sand, but you need something with a "diamond" shape scoop for the water. They are more practical, especially when you have a good cut and are faced with big rocks. You want to minimize the time you are spending recovering a target, because there are plenty of junk targets in the water you have to dig to get the gold. D-Dub has both, and won't use anything but the diamond head scoop in the water.
