I took the plunge after work yesterday for a couple of hours water hunting and came away from the beach with another four pieces of gold jewelry. I found other pieces of this 18K and diamond bracelet in the exact same area over 5 years ago. The original gold & diamond find was the main reason why I returned to this site yesterday afternoon. I also found another 18K emerald ring, a 14K hugs & kisses ring and a 10K heart ring.
Good luck this weekend.
Gary

What beach would that be, Gary? You just blew my mind again. This is not good to look at while at work.:censored: If I get your book will I be able to find 4 gold a day everyday?

I'm headed down to Boca this weekend for the first time. I never find much on my beach. Any advice as far as current conditions or general areas to look? Or how about just areas to park that won't put me in the red no matter how much change I find? Thanks

Gold is always good, but gold with sapphires and/or emeralds simply warm the soul a bit deeper. :icon_thumleft:

Very nice score Gary - congrats! So are you using the new seawater setting that was provided in the latest CTX update? And if so what do you think of it?

Yes I am using the new Seawater setting and I like it. It makes a difference in rough or fast moving water when running higher Manual Sensitivity levels. Also on the beach in the wet sand with waves crashing over the search coil.
