Thank You.....
I hunt maybe 15 to 20 hours a week, but most of my hunts are for 3 to 4 hours a day. If I do a 6 or 7 hour hunt I'm no good for a few days, so best I keep them short but sweet!
 
You set the bar high. Nicely done.
 
Always great seeing your finds! I think my favorite, so far, is the Victorian.
 
Joe don't you know not to post spots online. I just programed "halfway point" and am on my way. Says I have a 9 hour drive. :laughing9:

My feelings exactly; I got back into the hobby after years away from it because of folks like OBN who show us what is possible. Congrats on what is already a great year by my standards!

Thank You, Yes Jan 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017

The last three years have been very good, 2015 totals were 123 Gold rings, and 2016 were 105 Gold rings. In 2015 I had close to 70 gold by this time and on July 1st, 2016 I found #49 for the year.

All with a couple, Modified Minelab Excalibur's, stock coils only

Yes the water, I never did well hunting the land so I went the water route. Took me three months to find my first gold then I was hooked for life.
