okara gold

A 10 ring day! Woo Hoo! Congrats on a terrific hunt. Nice to be there when the conditions are right.

I was using the equinox 800. Beach 2, sensitivity 20 in the water following a small trough where the waves were breaking along the shore. It read a 14 but was jumping around a little. I figured it was a pull tan. That’s why I never expected to see gold. I have dug other solid 14’s that are gold. It weighs 2.2 grams.

Nice video. There’s nothing like seeing gold underwater.

Found this 14K with diamond 2 days ago. Never expected to see that in the scoop and only 45 minutes into the hunt. Not many targets and all were light weight.

More great gold recoveries! You deserve every one.

Many moons ago ... I would go to the library and look through the micro film machines with attention on the 1870 - 1880's local newspapers. Every Summer there were clam bakes and ice cream socials in the groves. They were a big form of entertainment. Usually after the event there was a report on how many people attended and the festivities that went on. Lots of nickel and dime games and chances at some of them. Even the kids had a coin or two they could spend. It was a great way to locate the old clam bake groves and a great way to line my pockets with old silver.

That’s a real nice chain! It’s always great to find one. Hope you feel better soon. Bob K

Great finds! I’ve never scored a silver dollar.

That’s good to hear. I have a machine in there now for a checkup. Hopefully it will be back in my hands soon.

That ring sure took a beating. The water must be awfully tough on silver.

They look real nice Joe. You sure are helping a lot of people.

In March of 2021 my Equinox will be years old and the warranty is up. I'll be thinking about another purchase of a VLF. I'd like to see a "better" Equinox or something that will make you sit up and take notice.

Congratulations on finally getting rid of the monkey. It happens to us all and that ring is a nice one!

That sure is a show stopper. Nice find!

Yes... I see a lot of pull tabs in your hunt but for me the final gold reward makes it all worthwhile. Until aluminum can be rejected we will all have to dig it.

Wow Joe! That certainly shows how you are adapting to the AQ. Your trash to good finds ratio is amazing.

Oops. That’s a 90 degree!

Very nice addition. I like the 45 angle. It should help a lot with accidental bumps. And the additional run time is outstanding. A big thank you to Joe for helping us out.

Hey Dewey yes it's me Bob! So I guess the cat's out of the bag. Can't hide anything from you! Thanks for the nice words about how I hunt. I am on Joe's list for a battery. I hunted for a few hours this morning with the Nox fully submerged. No gold and no leaks. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

When my pod broke in the water and pulled apart, Dewcon was about 100 yards away from me. I thought maybe he but some voodoo spell on my machine so I couldn’t find the gold. 😆 But... as it turned out, the plastic was severely cracked and broken where the bolts screwed in and corrosion was evident in the metal screw holes. Minelab replaced it under warranty. If they weren’t going to replace it I was going to build up epoxy around the cracked areas and I think that would have strengthened those areas and done the trick.

It is a good thing to see Garrett take hold of Whites legacy and keep their name alive. Just what will develop... we can only wait and see.

Nice gold finds! Congrats on the half of bracelet. The other half is there waiting for you!

You sure did a lot of digging! And it was all worth it too! Congrats on the gold!

Nice assortment of finds! That gold ring sure is special with all the hallmarks inside. I like It!

Nice video Joe! The pinpoint mode is really the way to go. It certainly punches deeper and is not as noisy as Disc especially in the salt water.
