PI did good today..... Real good!

[Silver Surfer]

Worked that lake again that I have hit twice now with the PI.... It is a very big area..
Found a lot of trash and iron, but not enough to discourage me in the slightest.. Especially those nice shiny SS bolts, nuts, and washers I keep finding... I think whoever builds docks around there must be a fumble-fingers...
Found one area that had quite a few coins, and very deep ones at that.... I was going through anywere from 8 inches of sand to a good 12 inches, and then it was black, sticky, muck... Very hard to clear the scoop when you get that stuff in there..
Found several coins from 1965 to 1972, and many modern clad coins.. Found one area about 10 ft in diameter that I found 3 nickels, 1941 X 2, and one 1940.... That was pretty cool.. They came home really dirty but cleaned up nice (gently cleaned)..
The storms were passing by for the most part, but then the lightning and boomers started getting close... I play it pretty safe around storms, especially with a huge electro-magnetic field all around me in the water..
So I started working my way back at a brisk pace, and then got a nice solid, but faint, beep... I dug about 10 inches down with two scoops, and when I cleared the scoop, this beautiful ring was staring back at me!!!! Although it had dirt and sand in all the holes, I could tell right away that it was a keeper.. Sure enough, when I cleaned it up back at home, it is stamped with a 750!!!!

I was smiling all the way home even though it was howling and raining like there is no tomorrow....
My machine is about half paid off now I think!!
Also adding in a couple of pics of my PI Dual with the straight shaft now on it... It is a looooooong one, but man can I cover some water with it...

It's really not that bad... YET.... LOL!
I just go nice and slow, and since I am learning the subtle but definitely different sound to the tone, it is still fun...
But I havent been to but one really trashy beach so far, so we'll see..... But I surely do like the depth of this thing... I had worked the hell out of this spot with my Excal, and passed over many of those coins.. I know for sure I did on the 40's nickels, because of the date and how deep they were.. And just to see if it really would look deeper, I purposely have been hitting the stuff I already hit in this area.. Yeah, it passed over all that iron stuff, but it also passed over some old coins..
Gonna take it to the salt for the first time tomorrow, hopefully, I will have more good stuff to post..

Does look like an opal ring! Nice find!

I've never used a PI before, but proofs in your scoop! Looks like it's brinking those good ones in fine.

But like they say... A LOT of iron... Cant say I wasnt fully warned.
We had to leave a beach yesterday because nails were everywhere.. I even dug up a 2 ft piece of rebar that must have been standing straight up, the signal was not long and sounded short like a coin would...

Hey SS! Been watching your post with keen interrest. Have Tiger Shark and thinking of trading or selling to get a Sand Shark. Going with Waterfalljay tomorrow and he's bringing his for me to try. I already search in all metal anyway so digging all those targets is routine! I knew it would'nt be long before the gold came up for you! congrats! Detectahead

The PI goes deep, deep , deep which equates to dig, dig, dig. I love the fact that it doesn't miss much. Found some good keepers halfway to China. And congrats on the nice ring. Arty

Tell me about it!!!
I hit that lake again today for about 3 hours... Only found one nickel, but it was a 1940 again, so at least it was old... Only found another quarter and a penny this time, but man was I on the SS hardware! I must have dug $30 worth of the stuff, all like brand new and all of them were very deep... I bet you could about start a sideline selling SS hardware if you were to MD around all the freshwater docks and such. Those guys drop a lot.
I will post a pic of the stuff later, too tired right now.. Snooksion really gave me a workout yesterday.... LOL.. Thanks again for the Kudos guys..

Which PI were you using? Under your profile, you list "Excal II", but that wasn't an Excal in the picture, was it a Whites?

 

[Silver Surfer]

Yeah, Dual Field.... I guess I need to update my profile...
