Nice ring! You might do a little better if you left the scoop on the beach and just use your hands to Fan the bottom. The area you are in reminds me of where I have been hunting, and I recovered more than 1500 coins by fanning the bottom, and the gravel/rocks were more than 40cm deep, with most of the coins resting on the hard clay. Using the scoop, you could damage a valuable coin, and it also takes much longer to find it.
Cant wait to get my Excalibur, maybe in a month.

Thank You. You are right. The Excalibur is really a great machine.

Gold rings are sure good to see when you
uncover them and hold them in your hands.
Nice finds and video as well. Good advice
to leave the scoop on the shore in that kind
of bottom. HH Gold Nuggets :hello:

Excellent! Video, ring, and all!
I could even hear your cat meowing on that ring! Meow! meow!
I hate running over big aluminum, the cat can blow your ears off, if you got the volume a little too high! LOL!

Thanks for the nice video. The sweet sound of gold makes it worth while. Like the yellow tape on the coil as it aids in visibility.

Great video!

In rocks, I wear a glove that has the fingers duct taped and fan, dig with my fingers and use a short pry bar (Gad bar) to work the rocks loose. The duct tape saves your fingers and makes your gloves last longer.

Thank You very much. I am very happy that have appreciated my video :icon_thumright:.

The yellow tape fixes a rubber edge to split better the water:
