Water Is Still A Bit Chilly But The Finds

[Jackpine]

are starting to heat up.  I spent a couple hours at the sand bar this morning and managed a couple pieces.  Nothing to brag about as the stones in the ring are CZ's.   The hoop earring is silver plated.  There were 3 other hunters out and their finds were meager as well with only one gold ring being reported at this spot so far.  

The wire mesh I had welded in the scoop worked a dream.  The earring back in the pic is just one of many tiny bits it captured saving a lot of time. ?

The nut

 

The heartbreak

It really felt good to get out and get started on this years "crop"!  ?

I was just going to say the same thing.

Should have gone up the sides some and a little further back in the scoop.

Wasn't easy for my friend to weld the ends of the wires.  Had to drop and drag the material.

Right on man, that's cool thanks.

thanks for posting that. I have little experience with sand scoops.
