Connected with Leprechaun today.... Little did we know we were heading to a virgin area, in a POND i knew about... How do I know? Well with the amount of targets and the amount of rings that we came out with, I would say that no one has been there before.... When you have been detecting as long as we have, you can tell quickly if it's been hit.... Our Totals at the end of the day were impressive even to us..... We are on a GOLDEN high ..... As soon as we walked into the water, Leprechaun yelled the magic word... GOLD.... wow he walked rite on top of it... a nice band.... I then said HELLO to a GOLD class ring that hasn't seen the sunlight in quite a few years... Marked 1925 and made by a Boston Company O'neil & Casella... they started back in 1921.... Then I hear Gold, are you kidding me? man he was on a tear today... he had a very nice Religous medal marked 14 K and he got the chain too... Congrats on that nice find... started heading out into the deeper water and then bang another GOLD wedding band with yup you guessed it... Diamonds ..... man what a diamond streak I am on this season.... so I head over to show it off and he says .... GOLD ..... I said where... he says in the bottom of my scoop.... ok, at this point we had to stop and just laugh ( out loud )... man what a day.... We went at it hard and fast for a while ... quite a bit of coins and not much other jewelry.... We turned back and I got another ring but thought that it was sterling... I clipped it on , but the real surprize was when I got home and cleaned it up... Marked (PT).... WOW is all I can say... must have been in the mud for years...... never seen one turn black....Leprechaun also ended the day with 2 more rings , One Gold and a very nice Sterling ring with a GOLD emblam on the face... Good Luck hunting the virgin areas do exhist... keep looking... Thanks to Google Earth....and thanks to Leprechaun for such a great day... Good friends are harder to find then GOLD :pot-of-gold: 14 K.JPG virgin  (1).JPG virgin  (3).JPG virgin  (7).JPG virgin  (8).JPG virgin  (9).JPG virgin  (12).JPG virgin  (16).JPG IMG00495-20121022-1425.jpg IMG00497-20121022-1425.jpg

Yes it is nice to hit a virgin area. Very good work on figuring where to hunt. Keep working it. A few years ago friends had found areas that the current(in saltwater beaches) that had moved sand away on spring tides, and rings were everywhere. I went to several of these places and it was really unreal how many were found. Many people were saying we were going to protected places, but it was public beaches, and regularly hit places, just certain areas were eroded. Little tiny holes. Some were right in the middle of the public beach. They dont post anymore. Too much drama. But they are still finding gold rings. Good homework!

Wow, what a day for you two! A place like that needs worked over more and maybe when it starts to refuse to give more, change to a different type of detector to see what else is there....Not that I'm trying to tell a few pros what to do..... I just know it has worked for me.
