My jaw hit the ground when I kicked the clump of sand....

..and saw this!

I found this today.
Running the NOX at 25 sensitivity on the 15 inch coil, I came across a scratchy/choppy 5.
I thought to myself, "oh great, this pitted can slaw sounds pretty good" and begrudgingly started to dig.
After scooping out 2 clumps I kicked over the 2nd to reveal sparkly yellow butter!
2 links were broken on it.

I can't tell you what I yelled because this is a family friendly forum. :lol:

I've ran it through the ultrasonic cleaner 3 times and it keeps dropping in weight because there's so much sand in the nooks and crannies. Final weight 8.2g

Thanks for looking FMDF!
