51 Gold in 44 days

diggerfororo · Oct 24, 2008

I haven't posted anything since I left for Spain on the first of Sept. We had a pretty good trip despite the triple storms that hit. We had several days of heavy rain that muddied the waters at several of our better beaches. There was several other hunters there that stayed with us during the 52 day period and most did fairly good. Alltogether, the group(7) had 199 gold. some only were there for 2 weeks and others longer. I also found about $800.00 in spendable coins. I had one diamond ring with 6 1/4 ct diamonds and is platinum not gold. My heaviest piece was a bangle bracelet at 17.9 grams (18k) We all had a very, enjoyable time and plan to return in the spring.

Wow digger what a wonderful haul. What's the deal over there, are there not many detectors? Congrats, That about paid for your trip eh?

Thanks for lookin and there are several hunters over there. I have been hunting there since 1994 and the gold count has dropped by quite a few. I used to average about 3 to 4 a day. My best day was 13 and my best 2 days is 25. The 25 came from the same area. I used to average 50 dollars a day in coins and know I only get about 10.

Re: 51 Gold in 44 days UP DATED with more pix

Here is some closeup pix of 3 of the group. I have found about 40 of the religious metals in the las few years. They really make the old ticker jump when you see them in your scoop.

WOW...let's see some close-ups of that huge rock! Excellent finds

Click to expand...

If I read it right, It was 6 diamonds that were a 1/4 ct. each .....equal to 1 1/2 ct (instead of one huge rock). I think he was talking about the Beautiful Platinum ring directly behind the bracelet in the pic . Correct me if I am wrong as it happens every day.

WOW..That's one heck of a nice pile of rings.....Congrats. I bet that was one fun trip for sure . That $800 in clad is a good start to you next trip back in the spring. Got more picks of the trip? What detector did you use on the trip? I would love to see them all lined up in a nice case. GOLD RINGS........drool......someday I will find one.

Hi Robert:

I use a CZ20 most of the time. On some of the cleaner beaches I will use my Surf-Master Pulse. You were correct on the ring. 6.2 grams of plat. and 6-1/4ct diamonds was a pretty good hit. Thanks for the comments.
