How deep of water are you in when you have found the good stuff? Good luck on your next hunt. Thanks 2Valen, I'm feeling better already and could hunt tomorrow if I wanted to! I wade in the water and on this hunt worked in depths from my thighs to my stomach. I could go a little deeper but it's a little inconvenient to keep lifting the detector up to read the TID numbers. I'd say that my best lake finds have been made in about waist deep water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR Thanks Rat, I feel the same. At first, I was thinking that I was just having more luck this year, and luck does play a part, but I attribute my recent spike in fresh water gold finds to getting more familiar with the language of the Nox. Still prefer my pulse detectors for salt water/black sand environments though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've been busy and hadn't had a chance to read my emails or the forum. That was a great hunt. Have you considered entering the Ironman in Hawaii? You and those 10 hour days. I went about 4 hours this morning but I had a jones for an afternoon hunt as well for a couple of hours. Sometimes it all just comes together. Mitchel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised at how quickly I can move with a scoop in one hand and metal detector in the other. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 That’s one long lucrative hunt. It’s great to find a gold ring but there’s something special about a gold chain. Especially a trophy like that big one. Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks o.g., I agree and now that I've found a couple gold chains in that 1-4 TID range I am going to really go after those numbers with more determination now. Before finding those chains I had dug so so many pieces of foil that I would start skipping the "1s" if I was tired. Maybe I have it backwards and should start skipping the high TIDs when I get tired. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Padre Treasure Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Congratulations on a fantastic find! The gold is there waiting for someone like you to come and claim it. Keep up the nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SPT, It's funny- I can either say it's not likely that there will be another nice chain like that there or I can say if one was there, there has to be another. I feel like the latter is true and that there is more gold waiting to be claimed. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeguard01 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wow that's a lot of targets. They should be paying you for cleaning the beach. Congratulations on the Gold especially those chains. HH Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
