All day hunt with Bigmike and it was a fun day. Bigmike started out on fire with a tungsten ring, a silver cross and then a gold band all in the first hour. About six hours into the hunt a lady called me a over and asked if I could find her gold earing. She lost it in waist deep water about 20 minutes earlier. She said her mother gave her the earrings and she was upset. I told her that I wasn't finding anything anyway and I would be glad to look for it. After searching for about 20 minutes Bigmike showed up and joined the search. Another 20 minutes and I hit a solid mid tone and told her I think Ive got her earring. One shallow scoop and I had it. I looked in my scoop and said "NO WAY'. Bigmike asked if I got it and I said "no, look at this. It was a beautiful 14k gold cross weighing 5.5 grams. Bigmike found her earring a few minutes later and we were given an 80 dollar reward. My slow day made a quick turn around. Bigmike ended the day by finding his second gold band of the day. A day we wont soon forget. Good luck to everyone.

The necklace it came off should be out there too! Since the hoop isn't broken.

Congrats!

Just what I was thinking and it should be a heavy chain to hold that cross as well. Nice post for a rewarding day.

I would vote for a banner !!!

We looked hard for the chain...I was thinking it was probably a heavy chain too...someone else may have found it before we got there.

I couldn't believe it when you showed me that cross in your scoop. I thought for sure it was the earring. I searched for the chain for at least 30 minutes too. I don't think it was there. $40 each for returning an earring didn't hurt much either. Here's a couple pics of my finds. Can't wait to get some more.... :occasion14:

Nice find on the cross and nice finds for bigmike. It was great that you were able to help this lady find her ear ring and she was very generous. If you hadn't tried to help her, you might have missed the 14K cross. HH.

I would have missed it because I was going past her out deeper than where the cross was.
