17.69 Gram AQ Gold 1942 Class Ring

[Joe Beechnut OBN]

Think I'm setting at 17 gold now with the AQ. Fully paid for and adding to the Bank account. I knew it would not take long for I needed deep......... and it is.

Today's hunt was a get out no matter the conditions, been busy at home for a week now.......

I checked the winds before I left and they were very calm. Water level is Insanely high, about a foot above normal. Conditions at this beach are fairly sanded in but there's always the chance for deep strays...First out .........things were very slow, but I came into area that held a few coins, slowed and listened. One hour and 40 minutes into the hunt I get a good strong deep signal. 

Six scoops later outcomes a Big boy, I figured 11 grams but with gloves I have a hard time telling. Happy I got gold ......I stayed a few more hours..... nothing much other than a Merc and rosey came up. What really gets me is how deep this stuff is...and for some reason it loves nickels, And I only hunt in All Metal.   Delay was 10 today, ATS I did play with but ended up set on 7, sensitivity was around 6, volume 8, threshold I did play with some also. But ended up just below 5, audible. Just about all targets today were deep but gave good reports... I did chase a few ghost signals, which one turned out to be a dime.  Only dug a few pieces of Iron, one I should have stopped....... after 10 minutes of digging ...

Good Luck to all this weekend, Be safe..Joe

Nice pig Joe. Thanks for the settings, I keep making a note of them. These tides have been crazy. My phone is acting up again, I got your text and 43 others 3:00am this morning.

Nice heavy ring Joe! And the AQ has paid for itself. Nice going!

Nice chunk of AU Joe       

6 scoops is a whole new level as rings like that dont usually detect off to the side, time for the back brace now.

Nice ring!

Thank You! I would love to see the owner of this ring but it has nothing inside other then the fineness mark. So kool they have that up...least I get to see the possibles. Just looked 105 grads, not a very big class. 

On that dated ring I found.......... I was able to send out a email to one of the grand daughters but never got a response. Plus I posted on one of the pages she posted and asked the Admin to please contact her for I had information about here great father. Nothing. 

Thanks You for the information..joe
