King-Of-Bling

We had an event several months ago where about 8 guys had multi-gold and sinkers that were about 1/2 - 2 ounces. Also tons of clad. I got tired of the crowd and moved down the beach towards the pier. This area supports a large parking lot , more people and....fishing. So there was only 1 other newbie digging coins and tells me there's sinkers everywhere ! Ok , I'm working down in the low wet and digging shallow 1 scoop , 4-6oz sinkers. Got about 15 before I gave up. My bags were dragging me down. I found coins. But I thought for sure I'd find gold , instead 0 near the pier. Still a great hunt for the day but was expecting more from this particular "weighted" spot.

It was still a good hunt. But I can tell by your wording that this was a storm that you look forward to and were expecting more gold. That is alot of sand movement. There must be more there but probably covered up until the next. GL....

I learned this long before YouTube and its menagerie of buffoons. If I relied on air tests , I would only be digging 10% of my targets.

What did you expect , 6 or 7 gold ? You already cleaned the bulk of that spot out. Unless this hurricane wraps around and hits it again for some sand movement. Still a nice fatty though.

I'm surprised Slimpickuns hasn't chimed in. I think he has had a minor issue but I do know for a fact he has killed it out here with his. I know 2 others here in So.Cal that , for them , have been a nightmare.

Another EPIC hunt ! And I go out to the same spot before and after with garbage results. Must be your karma. Even though I did an iPhone 15 return , it's not rubbing off on me. Lol

This is good news. But what they really need is a better starting lineup that I could choose from. I've bashed them before for not even being in the game. I would seriously get behind them and try their product if they had a great beach machine.

Great hunt. Small bracelet looks gold. Bummer about the Nox. Hopefully they give you a good deal.

If I'm still around when a machine can correctly call gold vs aluminum , I will be a rich man. As it is , I've found several pieces of gold with the ML Nox that read in the negatives with a dig-it-all approach. No discrimination used. These #s would typically tell someone "don't dig , it's iron". You might want to bail out of her "Club of Fools".

Great hunt. Last ring looks like platinum down the middle. You can have all the experience in the world , but if the cut or conditions aren't there , none of it matters.

You have a good point. I have done 100s of "Burials at sea". Where I would have small boxes with small bags of remains with names on them. I would then open the bags and dump overboard one after the other. At no time did I notice chunks , or blobs of gold in these bags. But I also wasn't really spending time looking specifically for that either. It wasn't the best part of my job and I wanted to be done with it. The worst is when it was windy , which was often. Human ashes blowing back into your face is not very pleasant.

Is that an Easter egg ?

They sneeze or blow real hard without a tissue.

The shocking (but not surprised) part is the fact that with all the hype 2-3 years ago , they couldn't sell 100 units. And now it gets worse. They decide to offload the remaining batch to basically a wholesaler. But wait , there's more ! The marketing maniacs decide to jack the price up another 5 bones. I would be embarrassed if I was on their team. Can only imagine what these winners are gonna come up with next.

Maybe an armored chain male suit for hunting shark infested waters. And could see how the D2 handles EMI up close.

Damn... I need that ! Get my camo gear on , rocket launcher and I'm good to go.

I tried a belt/rope combo and tried pulling it behind me using just my legs. Another fail. We even tried a fat tire electric bike. Failure #2. Only thing we thought of would be at small fat tire lawn mower/tractor type that the parks department uses. But that is not allowed and would be cited.

Looks easy in the video because he is only going 1-2" deep and that sand is very soft , light , flat and groomed. Sand usually is uneven or has dips from footprints , etc. Notice he only goes about 10 feet and has to stop. The sand piles up fast , creating more weight and drag. You need to go deeper for the gold that sinks fast in drysand. Wetsand ? Forget it. Often the targets get pushed to the side and out because the sand bunches up. It is cool and they do work. But try it for 4 hours. Just be prepared to see a doctor or massage therapist afterwards. Lol

You need one without the wheels if you expect to go deep and not just skim the surface. I'm talking 2-3" , which doesn't sound like much. Gotta angle the handle for depth. My buddy got one off the internet cheap , they are there. And I can tell you it is absolutely back breaking work. Not only that , you better have strong legs and arms and be prepared to pay the price for the next 2 days. It's not worth it...

Limited , Unlimited , Gold....no thanks. I'll wait for the Platinum model ! A couple buddies have them and I'm not impressed. Even at a $G , I wouldn't buy one. I'll stick with my $600 DF thank you.

I've used borderline scoops from the late 80s-2008 , about 20 years. Think I went through 7 of them in that time. Mostly his shorter galvanized ones which were cheaper. I destroyed every 1 of them except the SS. All of them , over time would separate at the welds where the upper wire met the solid lip of the scoop. Not all wires , but gradual and then the scoop starts to break down and collapse. These are small scoops and he can make them bigger. But then you have to start thinking about weight. Mike was easy to work with and I never complained about his scoops. When you compare the prices to other scoops , they are hard to beat. Remember , I'm a maniac with scoops and I beat the hell outta them ! But finally had to step up my game as I got older and went with bigger diameters and longer handles. Along with higher prices. Lol. As many as I've destroyed , I have no problem recommending his scoops for the price.

Decent pendant. Jeweler should buy that at 12k pricing. Kinda like black hills gold. But my big question is , Where's the damn chain ? You need me to find it ? 😅

All that and not 1 picture ? Same experience not long ago at Aliso. Beautiful sight.

Great write up and pics. I'm sure you still had a great time regardless of the hunting. Looks very sanded in and spongy. But my guess is you will try the hotel area next time. Of course the 1st thing I looked at was the gal wearing the watch. Didn't notice a ring though. Lol
