Wow Surf, you tore up that Turf! That is absolutely some beautiful finds! Did you get 2 nice finds in a row or were they spread out? That was one heck of a night! Congrats buddy! :o :laughing7: :hello2: :notworthy:

Thanks DH,
Scored all in my last hunt (4 hours)! I came prepared and had luck on my side! This was one of my most productive hunts!!!

:o Banner! That is a lot of gold on one hunt.

Wow!!! Thanks Birdman, The first three rings are 10k and the 2 10k G.F. are worthless! Really not a Banner score but thanks again! :icon_pirat:

Killer score. Those class rings are fantastic!

1938 has no name and 1945 has initials but lost the schools name on top of ring. Thus making it impossible to return to owners or loved ones. :(

Holy samolians.....Thats a nice Banner Haul for sure. :thumbsup: Congrats, those rings look nice up top! jgas
 

Congrats on some Super Finds! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

And CONGRATS on the Banner...well deserved too!

Looks to me like you are finding the older stuff. That indicates you are going deeper and finding the cuts and pockets of oldies. Can you give a blow by blow on these finds. I know it's over a 4 hour period but I'm curious about more details.

:icon_thumright: How deep did you go. Say waist deep or neck deep. I got to find a good design for those floating sifters. Great Finds and Congrats!

Congrats,

Moose

Joe,
Most important that you and your family are safe!!! Talked with my sister in law and she is very shaken but alright, that was a salon she had gone to!! Looking forward to visiting S.B. in late Dec.!!

OMG I made the Banner!! Yeah.... came back on-line and saw my rings up top and went into SHOCK!!! Wow still stunned! Wicked shout out to all and thanks a scoop full for voting banner!! When Birdman thought "banner" I really felt it wasn't even close with all the extremely cool stuff the banner shows! Tnet and the members have helped, teach and inspire me in the hobby I love! I'm very proud to make the banner....... Thanks again!!
Joe, Started the hunt 2 1/2 hours before low tide(had to suit up change batteries etc.). The area hunted is a cut that had changed to two cuts one in knee deep the other chest to head deep! I lost 5 or 6 really good sounding targets in the deeper end the tide had pushed in and made retrieval difficult. At that point I had found the 2 class rings and some silver! Giving up on the outer cut I moved into the shallower cut and pounded it! Found the other Goldie's and the heavy silver bracelet. This was not easy!! Bottom is rocky and packed hard! OBN taught me about hunting the inside edges of the cut and it has paid off in GOLD! However the first scoop is soft sand the targets were 2 more scoops in the rocky black sand! This is tiring work but when their is gold coming up the pain turns into addicting adrenaline!

Mainethdiver,
I've included some pic's of my homemade sifter!

Stpauli,
Would love to have an underwater video camera!!!

Moose,
Your sooo right I've got a smile so big it connects in the back of my head! ;D

Thanks all! HH!!!
