Gold band, braclet, 4 rings total....2 hunts

[Blak bart]

Just been hitting the same swim hole once a week....its very small and gives me gold almost every time.....the people get drunk and horse around in this tiny spot everyday when its warm. The water was still very cold and my hands are numb in 2 hours. The spring shorty suit has been excellent for getting me in earlier than most and its paid off. Ill work till 2, and on the way home ill stop one a week and hit this hole.....crocodile and bait fish had me miss it one week, and the big black mullet came through and made me leave because you never know whats feeding on and following them !! But there's gold in them there swim holes !! Woooo hoooo !!

2 little shells that test gold !! Found a week apart at the same spot....I missed one the first week !!

Nice collection of jewelry finds both with the EQX600, and some underwater eyeball work !!

here we have a pink kiddie ring, a gold tone titanium band, a heavy rainbow tungsten band, and a 14k band !! Wow...2 rings a week, and its just getting started for water hunting....should be some heavy hitting Latinos with lots of gold swimming here this season, and im watching it like a hawk !!

nice little gemstones in the cable cuff braclet marked "brilho". They are known for stainless,, silver,, and gold. I will let the jeweler examine it and tell me about the metals involved....the only similar example I found was a vintage silver "brilho" braclet....it seemed to be the only one hallmarked like mine !!

in this pic you can see a small plated silver Mexican hoop earring......ya....I lost it already and can't find it !! Also eyballed 2 amethyst beads, and a pearl in the sand !! Wooo hooo !!

hope everyone's upcoming spring and summer has gold in it....happy hunting and thanks for looking !!

Nice work on all that AU, never was into beach/park hunting but am starting to realize that digging rings is absolutely just as fun as digging old coppers so changing my tune on that one. Think I may don some raingear and hit a park today (your post is inspiring- keep it coming buddy!) and find some of my own gold hopefully.

You have found a nice honey hole there! Good job, thanks for the info, and thanks for sharing.

Congrats Bart, you definitely have the Midas Touch!

Well traveller....there an endangered species and protected now.....they used to be almost extinct....now they thrive as far south as the middle keys. They are shy and don't bother anybody. The most damage they've done is snatch a dog or cat. They are large carnivores that should be respected.....I got in here once and saw a small one sleeping on the bottom in the deep water beyond the swimming barrier. I would never trust swimming with a big one.....they get 12 ft +.......living dinosaurs 🦕 they are.....sharks here too.....got to pick the right times !! Lots of boat traffic keeps just about everything away except me and the swimmers !! Early morning quiet times can get scary....avoid dusk and dawn !!

Thanks for sharing. Americancrocodiles get larger than I thought. I saw some really gig cross below a bridge in Costa Rica. I would hate to fall in the water there.

I'll be honest.....just about anything can scare you underwater..... looking at a crocodile 🐊 underwater in the wild, not more than 10 feet away made me leave the spot for months !! Sharks are worse and we've had some brutal attacks last couple years !!

10 feet is a heartbeat away. You are braver than me, Bart. Crocodiles and sharks do not come in my living room so I do not go into theirs.

You ever walk in the bathroom on someone.....same feeling....whoops, turn around and leave and try to erase what you saw !! Same feeling as I described in your ufo thread.....scary chit !!

Thanks pepper 🌶......my jeweler called me yesterday right before I got in.....he said it would be easier on him mounting my coin if all the gold was yellow gold. He wanted to give me back my white gold band for a yellow gold band for ease of smelting....I said hang on ill go find one right now....BAM...third target.....yellow gold in the sand !! God bless the tourists !!

So wierd how all of a sudden it goes from winter to everyone back in the water.... im gonna smoke this spot this year, and try to get a feeling on number of swimmwrs per week, and how much gold is lost each week !! My little experiment !!
