took my snuba system to one of my old spots - I thought the water was gonna be cold and I suited up to dive in cold water
I was wrong - water was not that cold - I had to much suit and not enough weight - I got out at low tide to 6-7 feet - out past where most hunters can reach
that was good - but I could not stay on the bottom when I got a hit - which was bad ... I started getting hits - got at least 6 targets
that sounded good - that's good. Every time I tried to fan or dig - I'd inhale and start to float off target - which was bad.
I never recovered a target = bad. So I came back in. I either had to get more weight - which was 200 yrds away or dress down to a
less buoyant suit - which was 200 yrds away (there and back) - decided to just use snorkel and mask. Not much left in the shallows
but I hit a spot loaded with bottle caps that others must have gone through with a discriminator - I hunt in all metal. After
clearing out the caps I went through slow and got a faint reading ended up pulling up the 14k white gold ring. So my hunt ended well.

Dig it all!! Gold is gold my friends. If people are too lazy to pass by potential "gold" targets I will gladly scoop up a white gold ring...
For instance...

Congrats on a great find!! :occasion14:
white gold usually has nickel mixed in it - so it is believed that using high discrim. can cause you to miss some - especially small ones
I hunt in all metal and have found a lot behind others - ive also found a lot of gold under junk
