Finally some beach gold

[JimDon]

After 10 or so trips to the SC coast without gold I made a low tide spin on Saturday. After 3 hours of nothing in the wet sand I gave up and headed back to the car between the high tide ripple trough and white sand and what do you know! Bam. 14kt band. 4.3 grams. Heading back down in two weeks. Can't wait. First gold at the beach in over a year.

Msbeepbeep... No kidding. Happens all the time. The reality is I keep telling myself I'm leaving then turn around one more time. That could have something to do with it.
