Hi everyone,
as you can see my name is Dan and I live in Darwin Australia . I went out with my new Garrett ATX yesterday for my first go at finding my fortune on a local quiet beach. After an hour or so of playing around with it I started getting tabs, bottle tops, nails etc which gave me confidence it was actually working ! . I found my very first coin and was well pleased but the very next swing was very faint. As I'm new to this I thought I'd dig everything and get used to the machine. At ten inches out popped my very first gold thing !!
I think it's a ladies wedding band, it weighs nearly six grams and is 18 carat.it also has two names and a date inscribed in it , so being the sentimentalist I am il try to find the person who lost it. Probably worth so much more to them than me for scrap.
