Minelab Excalibur
Minelab Sovereign GT
Minelab CTX3030
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
I found an 18K wedding band and three mercury dimes a couple of days ago on a low tide using my Excalibur way offshore on a ledge.
I completed my weekend honey do list, grocery shopping, mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool and managed to earn enough wife credits for a 3 hour water hunt this afternoon and back to the ledge to find some more gold.
Beautiful calm water and my CTX 3030 was purring under the water, I had Barry the Barracuda making sure I did not leave anything behind for the locals. I found 3 silver rings, a silver chain and two honking big gold class rings from in between the cracks and crevices on the ledge. The gold class rings both weigh over 1/2 ounce each and are soaking in lemon juice to get the coral encrustation off, along with some more old silver coins.
