The rain stopped and the sun came out after work, so grab my wife and off to the beach we go!
I had about an hour before dark and after the heavy rains and wind shift the lake retreated so I figured I'd hit just above the surf line. It was getting dark and all I had to show was a couple cents and some junk. I can tell my wife was ready to go, standing staring at me with her Compadre slung over her shoulder like a mini civil war rifleman. "Five more minutes", I say and start detecting by the walkway ramp towards the exit. I have a solid pulltab hit, but wait, its not a pulltab! I wish I had looked at the VDI but generally I run in Pro mode with nothing elim and no disc...just so I can hear whats going on in the ground.
Anyway, first gold of the year, nice little 14k religious piece from MEX, its pretty beat up, must have been out there a while, but still pretty to me! Okay, now we can go home!
(And yes, this was found with my ATPRO.)
