it's so nice to find 18k, persistence pays off. I've worked that area around the pier without much luck, usually a lot of other metal detectorists. Good find!!!

I've been working the super low tides all week without a lot of success, apart from a load of fishing weights. Today was better, i went to a different beach. The bummer was my batteries died after an hour or so and I had no spares!
18k 8.7g
I hear you on the fishing weights.....I found 72 of them today! 4 rings helped make up for it though!

Congrats on the nice gold! Please always carry spare batteries. Heck I always carry a spare detector. Never want to cut a detecting day short.
