Weekend's gold.... yellow and white

The vault finally opened or I finally learned how to listen better to what my machines were telling me.... Saturday I worked over the dry sand with the Gold Bug Pro and managed to find a gold bracelet. The bracelet is 13.7 grams, 14k with emeralds and real diamonds (one diamond is
missing). The clasp works perfectly and it has already been claimed by Mrs. Cliff. This bracelet is an almost identical match to the emerald diamond ring I found in November....also claimed by Mrs. Cliff.

First gold of 2013 and the first gold for the Gold Bug Pro. (Hunted exclusively in the all metal mode)

Today, Sunday, I decided to play in the water when the sun came up....after about 4 hours, I was cold from the water and my arm was starting to quit on me after two days of hunting. I started to make a bee line to the other end of the beach where I parked and after about a half mile of slow swinging with only three nulls along the way, I had one of those whispers or as I say a slight deviation in the threshold. I put the Excal in Disc and got multi tones, back to PP and it was there but I couldn't really pinpoint it. The tone was more of a lack of threshold instead of a booming sound like you would get with clad. So I dig and dig some more and now it wasn't there anymore..... so I check my piles from dumping the scoop and now I have a booming hit in pinpoint. Ok, its was a deep quarter.... wrong......... its a ring that looks like one of those new
metals..... so with these bad eyes, I look it over and can see lots of ingraving in it.... but can't tell what it says. Time to quit, get to the car and get out the lope.... 14k White gold.....7.2 grams. First gold ring of 2013 for me.

Pics show the bracelet with the Emerald Diamond ring I found in November and the ring from today.

Sounds like a great day with rewards at home. We can't wait to hit the beach this summer. We went out today in a frozen Farmer's field,found 4 pieces of farming equipment. But we were turning dirt and happy! Congrats again on your finds. Awesome Day!!:coffee2:

Congratulations Cliff!! I needed a few more days of hunting at the beach when I was down there last month. But alas, only about $3 in change and a few junk pieces of jewelry. You did real good! Bleassings, Beach Papa
