So I went to a lake about an hour away. When I got there I noticed alot of gravel on the beach. I instantly began to think of a back up plan "B" for the day. Then I got in the water and saw nothing but bull rock! Uggh...I began swinging around over the bull rock and didn't get a single signal. I was just about to execute plan "B" and saw the rock gave way to some better gravely sand material and the targets started coming. This swim area is 2/3 covered with bull rock and 1/3 gravel/sand. I spent over 5 hours pulling loot outta this little spot and still didn't cover it all.

A few firsts..

Highest clad count at $16.68 (alot of quarters)
Highest ring count for one hunt (6)
First gold and silver wedding band and it's a honker (12g)

The rest of the rings are: sterling wedding band, three stainless bands, and one plated with cz.

Moral of the story? Don't judge a book by its cover. What I thought was going to be a dud turned out to be the most productive hunt yet. It was alot of fun.

Great day! What is "bull rock"?

Yeah, so bull rock is larger river rock or washed rock in the 3" to 6" diameter range. Typically used around here for the base in large curtain drains ......NOT for swim areas of lakes!! :wink:

Great hunt! Been there myself, it's an awesome feeling when you go from frustration to celebration after a few good "beeps". ....great collection of quarters! Any silver quarters?
