My Best Gold Bracelet At 20g!


Recommended Posts

Sometimes conditions are not right at my primary beach so I have to find another place to detect.  That was the case when it came to one of my detecting sessions.  There really wasn't much to find until I got a response with my 15/800 of 6-7.  I like digging the low tones on stuff like that but after I took off a little sand the number came down to a 1.  I was in wet sand but it could also be the inside of a bottle cap but then I saw a glistening in the bottom of the scoop!  I rinsed it off and voila ... GOLD.  (19.7g to be precise)

The Kennedy half is a 1971.  The year I graduated high school.

Here were the other finds for the session.  I was just sucking air (NO2) until I found the gold.

As you can see I was sucking a lot of gas without that Gold find which changed the night.

These finds are from a couple of other sessions.

This session had an interesting unmarked silver ring and an unmarked bracelet which I hope is gold but it has no marks I've see so far.

Awesome score Mitchel - congrats! I haven't used the Nox that much at the beach but when I do I really like those single digit TIDs in the wet sand. Usually those bottle cap foil liners have washed away if the conditions are right.
