Decided to go out for a quick evening hunt, conditions were fairly good with light winds and small chop. My only obstacle today was the tide, it was only a couple hours after high tide.. because of this I tried hunting the first drop off along the low tide mark for the first hour, this didn't produce much at all, just a few pennies. The next hour I tried hunting the deeper troughs neck deep the entire time. Every target was almost impossible to dig because of the depth and a strong current that kept throwing me off. After 45 minutes of this and just a few coins recovered I got a really strange broken signal that sounded like foil or multiple small targets in the same location. After 5 minutes of digging and missing the target because of the lack of leverage I had I finally got it up... my first gold grill lol
I acid tested the teeth, passed 14k, passed 18k and failed 22k. I get a feeling their a higher karat than 18k, maybe 20k. Thought I'd break the 100 gram mark for the year with this find, fell just short at 97.5.... next gold will be my first big milestone towards 1lb for the year

Congrats on your 1st grill! Nobody ever forgets their 1st grill! 
! I'm sure you've found plenty of these over the years.
