got in after low on sunday - got in for a few hours and got a silver ring
got in yesterday for around 5 hrs - got this one after about an hour
Hit a spot with some hard bottom - viz was pretty good - only problem
was I started seeing holes here and there - looked around and saw a guy hunting farther
north from me - he must have come thru here first. I saw some trash in and near holes
which did not make me happy. I went around the area cause the bottom was what
we look for down there - tons of shells - coral fist size to some as big as your head.
I was getting good hits in-between some of these holes and started to pull up some coinage.
and some junk earrings.
Came upon a spot loaded with iron with a few holes - I think he may have cranked his discrim.
or just moved on through - I was hunting in all metal and took out some of it
but was getting a bunch of low tone hits with each swing (which on the CZ are bad- usually)
so I started to click over to iD mode with each hit and go for the mid and high tones (which are usually good)
I got a deep hit and it read off high tone and scooped down about a foot - gave scoop a
few shakes and had to pluck a few larger pieces of coral out...few more shakes to get the smaller shell frags out
and then I saw the glint of gold thru the remaining debris and thought I had a wedding band. Reached
in with my thumb and index finger and was surprised when I saw the stones sitting on my thumb.
Oh yeah!
Getting ready to head out as I finish this post. Hoping to find this ring some friends for the flight home.
2 more days to hunt...if that's the only gold I get - at least it is a good one
Happy Thankgiving to all!
