Well, It all started out really bad the other day when I left my CZ-21 at my house and went over to a lady friends house that was near a resort beach that I wanted to dive to look for some gold,
Ended up going in the morning and just dry sanding with my AT-Pro and be done with it, did ok with about $12 worth of yen in a hour and and half.
Went back to old girls apartment and we decided to go back that night. I wanted to get her started on hunting with the new F-44 I bought for her because its so light.
So we get there and we hit the beach with our headlights going. I go turn her machine on and started to show her how it works and that you have to keep swinging it, keep it flat etc..etc...I have number labels tapped on the machine to show her the coin numbers.
She starts out and hits her first target, but the numbers were not coin numbers and she said is this no good and I said at the beach if you have a good solid number of anything you need to dig it because it may be gold....so I go down and pull out a little sand to show her what was in the hole and I see a rim of gold....OMG....I have been gold dry for some time now and she gets her first target as gold ring....Just goes to show you....First time luck, Murphy's law or just Karma. I think I will keep her close because the last gold I got in the water she was with me.

Thanks for listening....Good Hunting...... The F-44 is a great light machine for the price and was very stable in the sand.

I don't know if she will keep going, Japanese are kind of funny toward the hobby and she thinks the F-44 is still too heavy...ha..ha, but she likes going with me"
