I was not working on Friday so I took a trip to the Treasure Coast in search of Spanish treasure. All I found was a couple of bronze ship spikes, a musket ball and piece of indian pottery. On the drive home I decided to stop at a tourist beach to try to keep my gold streak going, I found an eroded beach and 12 pieces of gold jewelry. Everything is marked 18K, 14K & 10K with a few small diamond chips for good luck.

Congrats!!! Keep hunting, representing, and keeping it real.

GD, wow, an amazing hunt or hunts. A musket ball and Indian pottery is cool. The gold should fear GD. Congrats on all of your finds, you are having a great month, hope you can keep it going.

Still no gold bands and at a tourist beach. The CTX has to be picking up what the Excalibur and CZ have missed. Great going and please let us know when you add the Seawater program to your book.
The beach in question is heavily hunted, I saw 12 people metal detecting in the 4 hours I was there, although the beach was eroded I am sure all the local regular beach hunters already recovered all the easy to find gold bands. I probably picked up some of the harder to find smaller gold finds that the Excal/CZ users walked over. Will let you know on the book addition.

You are probably correct they walked over those because the Xcal would have picked them up depending on how deep and what K they are. A good many of my finds this month have been smaller stuff or stuff that were recent moves. Good month of supplemental income.

That was a nice detour you took! New gold is worth as much as old gold!
