Popular Post NCtoad Posted June 30, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2024 There’s a very popular river (I’m originally from Pennsylvania and up there we would call this a creek) that gets many, many tubers in the summer. I had started detecting this river this past winter on the warmer days and got a small gold ladies ring and several non-precious metal rings. It was cumbersome detecting there in the winter because I had to wear hip boots and warm clothing. However, today it was about 88 degrees fahrenheit so I just wore sneakers and swim trunks. You have to get there early because they open the dam that’s about 4 miles upstream to raise the water level for the tubers. So I had low water levels until about 11 AM. I went down stream to start. Found a bunch of fishing lures (mostly panther martin spinners), an old cell phone, a kershaw knife and then when I turned around and started back upstream I got a nice solid 64 which turned out to be a titanium ring. Then as I was getting close to where I had parked, I got a nice sounding 82-83 and after digging down about five inches through the wedged in stones and sand I got a 10K ring with a maker’s mark of TW in an oval. It weighs 5.2 grams. BTW, those Mexican coins were taped together in a stack! 32 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26127-tubing-river-gold/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Finds That is how Mexican coins are dispersed from banks. The small denominations are taped in groups of 5. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26127-tubing-river-gold/#findComment-276095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The river (section where all the tubers go down) is probably 2-3 miles long. I only covered about 150 yards in 4 hours on this hunt. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26127-tubing-river-gold/#findComment-276162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
