Casper & I hooked up once again this morning for a very sucsesfull hunt, we went WAY out in the cold waters of New England. My very first target was a very old gold ring with a small stone, that has to be checked to see what kind & color it is. It was caught on video...:) We went for the area that we had left off yesterday and before you knew it, we both had a couple of rings in our pouch, my second ring turned out to be a scull ring but it wasn't the real thing. We moved back and forth and sideways, Not so many coins out there but most of the items that we located were very deep and some of them were litteraly over 2 feet deep. Antique bathing buckels were strewn all over the place. ( We knew had found the raft area ) . Half way through the day yet another gold ring for me, a mother's ring with all the stones missing, Keep digging I said, lololol... Musket balls all over and a few religious medals again today. My last ring for the day turned out what appears to be silver. Big and heavy at that but the coin or stone it once held was also missing. Total ring count for today was 8 between the both of us. I'm sure Casper will post up. Enjoyed the solid 5 hours in the water today, already can't wait to get back at it... It's a sickness. ( Gold Fever ) Thanks for looking. gold & silver finds (11).JPG gold & silver finds (14).JPG gold & silver finds (16).JPG gold & silver finds (28).JPG

That was a very productive day indeed! Assume you were in waders or wetsuits? Would you mind saying what scoop you are using? (I'm hoping to get into this saltwater thing later this month here in Oregon.)

We were both in wetsuits and the scoops that we use are from Reily's Treasure Gold 7 inches wide and about 10 inches or more deep very rugged. we dig in rocks and thats what is needed. Happy Hunting
