Popular Post Againstmywill Posted July 7 Popular Post Share Posted July 7 Turf hunting can be tough, especially when it gets hot and gravity seems to be increasing based on what my knees tell me. My left thumb has developed soreness from digging so many holes. Sounds like I'm getting old! What's the cure? A little gold! On July 1, I went back to the same soccer park that gave up the heavy 14k on June 28. I tried my best to squeeze out another ring from the same area, but it was not meant to be. I went across the parking lot and started swinging around the soccer goal perimeter and then into the goal itself. I was using the 15" coil on the Equinox 800, so the metal goal was messing with my detection ability. I got a signal of around a 12 right in the corner of the back of the goal. Out popped a ring that at first I thought was titanium. Upon closer inspection (thank you to the inventor of the zoom on the camera in a phone), a 14k appeared--my first white gold! I got the same signal immediately after the ring, just about a foot away. That time it was aluminum. 😱 Today I was fishing with my 20ish son, and we were catching nothing. He has more grit for catching nothing, so I said he could keep fishing and I would dig for a bit seeing we were at a park already. 😉 About 5 minutes after letting him be on his own, I dug what I though was a copper ring. Only after seeing the front more closely did I have a hint it was just 10k doing what it does. After rubbing a bit, it showed its true colors. It's strange how I went a whole year without finding gold, and all of a sudden I had three within about a week. I guess that's why we do what we do! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaBayBrad Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 You're on a roll, keep it going. Nothing better than the sight of a ring in a dirt clump or sand scoop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried detecting when he was younger, but he never got into it. More gold for me I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
