Headed out on the 23rd of Feb to hunt around the area west of the big rocks where we like to hunt sometimes. Construction crews have been removing old jettys and we are hitting them hard until they back fill with new sand like I had seen them doing yesterday.
Had my Excalibur 1000 with me that day. The hunt for me was pretty uneventful, I was actually getting a bit frustrated as I had only found a few coins and LOTS more aluminum slag.....that stuff is EVERYWHERE down there! Along with all the iron as well.
I was making my way back toward where my partner was hunting after pretty much striking out and I hit a low tone. I knew it was small but thought it might be some foil or a deep pull tab. 2 scoops and its outta the hole and BAM! I couldn't believe it! Just when I was thinking of calling it quits, a 14k ladies wedding band!
I was pretty stoked! Wanted to run down the beach and show my partner but was afraid to miss any more so I kept hunting! So, in the end it turned out to be a GREAT day! First GOLD! Gonna keep looking!
