Did a short hunt today with my AT-Gold. The swimmen hole is getting sanded in with the low water flow so targets are few and far between. I decided to walk one of the other paths back to the truck today. I got a loud signal about half way back that was only 2" or 3"deep. I dug a small scoop full with my scoop and started shaking out the loose sand when all of a sudden this heart attack showed up. Dollar $$$ signs started rolling around my head, it was heavy. I slipped it into my pocket and headed for the truck, fast. Of course once I got my loop out and looked it over the joy was gone:BangHead:
Its Gold plated junk.

Good luck on your next hunt

Yup...could see how this would have been a heart attack in a scoop. Too bad it turned out to be junque!
