Been a while since I've posted. I've actually been out a bit, just haven't had the time to get on and post about my experiences.
For a while I was thinking I was in a slump, but then I realized, "no, I'm not in a slump, I'm still finding gobs of stuff... I'm just not getting over gold!"
My skills are sharp, finding plenty of goods, just needed better locations. So, I switched it up a little and went to a school that historically I've not done well at (been there twice before in the last 5 years), because it always felt like it had been hit previously by detectorists. This was no exception, BUT, I was finding plenty of targets in the 40s-60s range on the AT Max, and figured someone had just stripped it of all the change.
Sure enough, out pops a nice little 14K diamond solitaire ring. rang up a 47.
the diamond is 2.5mm princess cut, which makes it exactly a 1/10th carat stone. Not huge, but still... pretty little ring. About 4" down, so it had been there a while, for sure!
This was Monday... Saturday I was out at another elementary school and pulled a Sterling Spoon ring, and a nice sterling arrowhead pendant. Hunts are going well, nice to get on the board with some gold.
Cheers!
