Well, it's not gold, but after digging up a bunch of trash, I found this under my coil.

I hope this is just the beginning...

A 18" Puka necklace wich a shell attached. Has no real value other than to me!

Congrats on your first find, You will never forget it, Welcome to the forum, HH ( happy Hunting), Art...
 

Definately cool not to be skunked on your first time out, nice find!
 

I bet it is just the begining for you. Keep up the hunting and be patient. HH Burdie
 

This is lohis wife. Great find!!! I don't think your find is worthless. If it is infact an authentic Pooka Shell and not a replica, I was told they are an extinct shell found off the coast of Hawii and the one I have is quite vaulable. The shape of the shell is a great clue. What they call a raw shell has not been modified or filed down. The center is sunk in and it has a lip around the edge. You have a beautiful piece as far as I am concerned. Good luck on future hunts...
 

Congrats on that first find, gives an entire new meaning to " ahhhh beep beep" doesn't it lol. Hope the future brings you many more just as exciting.
 

Cool! I bet that didn't give a really good signal, huh? Is there any metal other than the clasp? Good job!

Your right, it didn't give much of a signal at all. It was down about 3" in the sand.

Welcome to the forum, Paul. May this be the first of many successful hunts and exciting posts for us to read! ;)
 

Better than my first find of a beat up hot wheels car. Congratulations. HH

Hey Paul R....nice find and Congrat's,Still have my first set of Pooka's from the late 70's.Maybe "lohi's" right,check into it,you never know..Great find and HH!!
 

Don't think that you have to find something under your coil to call it treasure!! MDing is just a small part of treasure hunting.
Keep your eyes open for all kinds of stuff! don't be afraid to bend over a dumpster, or hit a garage sale with a vengeance.
Treasure is where you find it.
Dano.
