2019 was interesting Year 125 Gold Rings with 11 misc pieces of gold. 21.20 ounces, my best year on weight. With one beach giving up 38 Gold rings in one month, 15 hunts total. Each hunt averaged about 4 hours, which is about my limit on hunt time.

2020 has started off good. With 15 Gold rings for the month, one hunt I having my best on Gold ring count ever in a day.
8 gold rings in 5 hours, think I could have found more...conditions were perfect.

Not a lot of targets but the right targets...

15 for January, February weather conditions are not cooperating. Yet.......Going to be a interesting year, New detector coming hopefully by Summer. Very rare for me to use anything besides the Excalibur but this one, The Fisher Impulse "AQ" Should give the Excalibur a run for the money.

Congratulations on another huge pile of gold Joe!...You consistently find in excess of a hundred gold year after year...WOW!. Soon you will need a bigger scale
Most will not find a hundred gold rings in their lifetime.
There will be a lot of hunters around those crab pot floats now:laughing7:
Wish you another bumper year and hope the AQ produces ...if not you can always go back to the trusted Excals.

Congratulations Joe!
Just shows good research and right conditions with the right detector in the right hands will all come out right...….Wow if the Fisher performs as well as hyped, you may have to go back over all the same places these came from and hit the next layer of gold. The fun never ends...I love this Hobby.

My Hero - I'm going to print a poster-sized picture of the bowl of rings and hang it on my wall with my metal detectors for inspiration...if the wife lets me
:notworthy:

Wife: ???:icon_scratch:
"You must feel impotent compared to that guy!
Why don't you find Me rings like THAT?
May be you could take lessons from him?
..."


Thanks, OBN, I think...

"May be you don't have the right detector?
Should you read more books on metal detecting?
What about a bigger scoop?
Should you get hearing aides?..."

I gonna use it as wallpaper....lol
