Dave Rosy Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 I've been at this for a few years now, but the other (low tide) night I scored the best chunk-o-gold yet. Using my Whites TDI Beach Hunter I found 29 grams of 22K (stamped and tested). I was somewhat blown away. I believe it to be East Indian origin (bright yellow/gold) and a large bangle or arm bracelet. I see my next machine here, and my wife can't complain about it! LOL. I'll keep it in the loot box until it needs to be cashed in. No sense scrapping it now since the price of gold keeps climbing! Cheers folks and HH!

Calmark Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Now that's a golden pay-day! That looks huge and is why it pays to dig those large targets on the beach where the digging is easy. Over 3/4oz of gold, not a bad day at all, and beats the vast majority of my gold prospecting days over the span of my career. You might consider trying to sell it as-is, rather than melting it down. That could actually net you extra $$$ over just scrapping it. Good luck on snagging some more gold out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is, I thought it was brass... then, I thought,,, it was deep(ish) and no tarnishing,,, is it gold? Holy sh*t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
