These were found in the water three 925 and one tungsten 925 a first for me and another tungsten and a 10 k gold filled ring where I was hunting has a clay bottom if I didn't get it in the first or second scoop I was having a hard time retrieving my target maybe a different scoop might work better any tips on digging on clay I would like to hear them thanks ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422902015.312066.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422902033.475349.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422902052.157532.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1422902072.460978.jpg

Beautiful band!

I find it so difficult to dig up that hard clay; a detector with a very sharp tip is necessary, but those scoops are too heavy for me, so I just plod along with what I have.

Congrats on all those treasure finds!

I'm not going anywhere too soon :>(

Hard clay is good in that it prevents targets from sinking too deep, but it can be a pain to dig. Find yourself a metal shop and have them fabricate you a steel scoop with a serrated lip.(drilling your own holes will save on $$$) We use to make our own out of old galvanized stove pipe and they worked really well. The serrated lip allows you to twist and turn the bucket and sort of eat your way down. A looped miller style handle was great for this. Not the best drawing, but this is basically what we did. 3/8" galvanized pipe for the handle. Tank tough!
