I went to the beach everyone is saying it is very hard to even find a few coins. They were correct but I did find 2 gold items deep. Dug up a 8.0gr 14kt yellow gold pendant shaped like a lion's head and a 1.9gr. ladies 10kt. gold ring with diamond chips on each side with a real dark blue center stone. Made my day!!!

First I thought he roared but when I got him in the scoop he purred. I used "Old Betsy" ( old Excal with Seasearch coil) on the hunt today, She hasn't let me down.

I don't believe a beach is actually cleaned out. No one can completely cover every square inch of that beach. Yes, targets may be few but you may walk over that 1/4 inch that was not detected. It is said that with everyone detecting in the water, less than 1/10th of 1% of the gold and treasure has been found. I am one of those that believe in good Karma!!
