I went out determined to get a gold band today, my strategy finally worked. It isn't much, a cheap one from walmart but it's about 1.75 grams of 10K...I'll take it!!

Although I have other gold stuff listed on my profile this is my first time finding it with a machine. The other pieces were just from sifting sand.

I KILLED THE CLAD TODAY. This is my new best for one outing. $16.79.... didn't use a digger for a single target. Was detecting the pea rock again where everyone exercises. I would just kick up a hole with my foot, then bend down and grab whatever it was. 30% of the coins were on the surface and I would notice them when I would go into pinpoint mode.

There's gotta be another band there. I searched 3 of 10 exercise areas today and that was only in one direction.

Good strategy! Where did you get your scale?
Hillbilly,

Amazon, as part of an acid test kit.
My scale for reloading is much more accurate but I only use that for powder, dont want any contaminates in my casings lol.
 

Congratulations!!!!:hello2:
