Ken and I decided to go detecting today and met my cousin , Ray, at the beach. It's been 3 weeks since we hit the water but decided today was the day. When we got to the beach site there were already 2 others detecting in the area. I went to an area south of them and got very few signals. I finally got lucky and dug a thin 1.8gr. 10kt. gold band. What a great feeling to see that yellow in the scoop!!

Good one Les. Not been the best of conditions, but at least there are people finally hitting the beach. NOTHING sounds as good as the tinkle of gold rolling around in the scoop.

Glad you're finding some yellow!! It motivates me to get out, but not in that cold water.
