Lake Hunt Yields 4 Rings

[Dan(NM)]

Hit a lake an hour from home this morning. I was here in Feb and hit 6 rings, 1 gold and 3 silvers. Since the summer here in Texas was so dry, I figured the water level would be down.  Sure enough it was and new ground was exposed. I was running the D2 in a modified General program with a max frequency of 24 Khz with the 11x13 coil.  I dug everything from 32 and up and there was plenty to dig 🙂 The  smaller band hit at 47 and the larger one at 55. The silver ring locked on at 97 solid every pass.   The gold is small, but, I'll take what I can get. I had to pay my dues today as you can see from the amount of targets I dug in 6.5 hrs of hunting. Apparently I got there first which surprised me because it such an obvious place to hunt.

Nice hunt Dan!

Looks like we both got a 47 today, guess all the planets are aligned just right or something. 😎 Always good to jump on an opportunity!

Thank you.  This spot is right next to the road with a sign that says " Public Swimming Area" lol.

That's exactly how I felt about it 🙂 That's a common dig around these lakes here. Most guys go in and cherry pick the clad, which is fine with me!

Good to take advantage of the situation/opportunity.

Right, sometimes the spot under your nose produces better than the hidden one you think is your secret🫢

Way to go, Dan(NM), and congrats on the silver & gold rings! Well Done! 

 You and F350 are making me want to hunt water again! 😎

You definitely put in the work so I'm glad it paid off. Those sinkers are such stinkers and sound so good. At least pull tabs will give themselves away. And I'm also finding there is something special about that 24 kHz max frequency too. 😏

Thank you very much. I did some testing on a small gold ring after I found it . 24 khz hit just as good as 40. I found with 40 khz I was digging stuff so small my pin pointer wouldn't pick it up. After a half a dozen of those signals I decided to see how 24 worked. Anytime I'm jewelry hunting that's my go-to-max frequency. Even at that I still dig some mighty small stuff with 11x13 coil.
