Popular Post TTT2866 Posted July 11, 2024 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2024 3 in the same hole! Who knew treasure hunting could get so... intimate. Joke aside, I'm very happy with these results. Value-wise, just over $1000 AUD in scrap from maybe 4 hours of detecting. Day 1, I met my friend down at one of our good spots. Very cold. 13 degrees in the water at the moment (55F). Spent a few hours in pretty bad visibility water and I managed to score 1 gold 14ct ring as well as a few other odds. Day 2 (a couple days later though), just as cold, but we knew the tides and swell were going to be PERFECT. For comparison, it's never what I would call 'perfect'. It was flat, calm, no wind, no waves, nothing..for the first hour anyway. I haven't seen it so flat since last week, and before that, years. To line up the tides, visibility and weather is very hard at this spot. We ended up getting in the water before daybreak and I was equip with my Blu3 Nomad and only the light from my Manticore. It's the first time I've used it at this spot as the waves are always too big. I ventured out a bit deeper and didn't find a lot, so came back to the shallower end, about 2 meters deep where most people swim. Boom, started getting coins and bangles and other bits and pieces. One thing I noticed when using such a thick dive hood with the nomad is that it's very hard to hear targets even with the "sound boost" feature, so I found myself mostly looking at the screen and kind of switching between the Nomad and my snorkel. After about 20 minutes, got a nice signal and found a cool ring. I can't remember which one came first but I got 3 rings and a coin! 2 were gold and 1 was a cool little silver snake. I cleared that patch and went over to another rocky section and scored another nice 18ct ring as well as more coins. Great fun! One might ask, "aren't you afraid of sharks???". I'd reply, "Nah, never seen any, it'll be fine". Imagine my surprise when friend messaged me the following day with a video of a shark he spotted around the corner, LOL. Not sure what type it is, but he said it looked harmless. Have tons of videos to edit for Youtube but not enough time unfortunately. I'll get around to it eventually. 23 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26193-9-rings-2-days-3-in-the-same-hole/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershey Jeff Posted July 16, 2024 Share Posted July 16, 2024 I attended a dive course where we would do long swims in the surf in full scuba gear, miles where it would take almost the whole day, besides other physical conditioning. When one of the instructors was asked about sharks he said, “Don’t worry about sharks because if they want you, they’re going to get you!” 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26193-9-rings-2-days-3-in-the-same-hole/#findComment-277297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWerk Posted July 19, 2024 Share Posted July 19, 2024 Nice finds but I don't have to look out for those fins in the freshwater of Lake Michigan.. But then never find that many good fines. 🙁 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/26193-9-rings-2-days-3-in-the-same-hole/#findComment-277504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
