Compass Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I have had people doubt some of my finds before and I actually feel sorry for them. If they don't believe that something is possible it is unlikely that they will ever have that kind of success. I don't even mention that there are many hunters out there that do better than me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I enjoyed your posts.I know your results are believable because if you are a good hunter and you are in a good spot the gold can pile up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a FYI..... people love seeing finds posted, and almost nobody would ever think of it as bragging. You are doing your fellow detectorists a favor. We all get in a slump sometimes, and seeing others are making finds often provides inspiration. "If they can do it, I can do it." And a little friendly competition never hurts. Long story short - thank you to one and all who take the time and effort to post finds and the stories that go with them! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a big opal on that gold ring? If so, that is pretty sweet and kind of a bucket lister for me. Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dances With Doves Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I also like to know what my partner has found when we hunt together no matter how bad he is kicking my butt. It gives me the inspiration that I need to do something different to get his results.I got a Nox and was out doing my friend with his explorer so he adjusted by getting a Nox also and he is making great finds too.The motivation to get better results will help you be a better hunter.To me a good day is when Me and my friend both have a good day.It makes detecting even more fun.I am happy when my friends make good finds and am happy for those here who make good finds too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowstone Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don’t know much about opals. It has lots of orange flecks of color inside of stone. Flecks don’t appear to be in any order, just random. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer I was on a hot streak finding gold 4 days in a row with the best find on that 4th day. I never posted that ring, in part, because it just seemed too much to believe. It was even hard for me to believe my luck that week. When I finally got my Equinox I found gold with it for the first 8 straight beach hunts. Total of all gold (rings, small charms, etc) was around 30 targets. I posted it, even though I could hardly believe it myself. Then the beaches changed and I have not found any gold since. It now rest in the corner until I want to try it again. Streaks come with all machines for a number of reasons. When they are there ...life is good. When the gold stops.... I hate the machine ? If you find it, post it. We can always use your post as inspiration to get out there and hunt!!! The AQ is no different. I could not hit gold with it, while others were cleaning the beaches of gold. I finally hit 2 gold with it. I will continue to use the AQ because it is capable of getting deep gold. It's up to me to find out where it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
