I haven’t posted for awhile because really not a whole lot to be showing you guys. I normally beach hunt and have only found one gold bracelet on the year. A couple years ago I discovered a freshwater swim site that I believe hasn’t been hit very often but unfortunately it is about a 40 minute drive. I recently retired so I decided I would make the drive yesterday. There was absolutely no one there so after hunting the dry sand for a bit I decided to get in the water just above knee deep. There were Sooooooo many signals and 90% that are in the gold range... it was ridiculous. But I decided I would dig every one of them and eventually I would pull some of the good stuff. The pictures are from the last 2 days of hunting. I spent about 2 hours each day. The junk picture is only a portion of all the junk dug but persistence eventually paid off. Yesterday I found the titanium ring and about 3 bucks in clad (not pictured) I knew there had to be gold amongst all the junk so I went back today and the second signal I dug (14 on nox) out pops a beautiful 14K ring! I was pretty happy, haven’t found gold in awhile. About 30 min later I found the Tungsten ring, beautiful ring and extremely heavy! Anyway I have a feeling this place is gonna keep me busy for awhile, and it goes to show you that persistence will eventually pay off!!

:dingding: Congrats on the gold! Those tungstens sure sound good don't they?:roll: Have you updated the Nox to the F2 setting? I'm surprised you dug that many bottle caps.
 
Thanks for the kind words!! I am not familiar with that update, can you share? Would love not to dig all the bottle caps!!!
Here's the thread that was recently posted on "Beach" section. It has link to update.

Here's my 1st post post F2 updat with the 'Nox. (I had another hunt on Wednesday with the 'Nox and dug 3 bottle caps. I was positive that 2 of them would be bottle caps though. The one that really fooled me was foil covered).

Thanks a bunch for this information! This could be a game changer!! I did not even know it existed!

Nice Nice Nice Finds! Hope you get lots more gold from there!
Thank you, hopefully there is more to come!

Thanks, I am glad I decided to make the drive and try it out!

Nice job on the three ring finds! :D

Thank you!
 
Wonderful! Like most things in Life, especially pertinent to all 'Outdoor Pursuit Oriented Sports', Persistence does indeed pay off! Its probably the biggest factor to success...Just being out there, you dont have to be that good or even swinging top of the line gear, ya just gotta be THERE! Hard, fast and continuously!.....

'The right Man, in the right mind, in the right place, at the right Time'...This Sport demands commitment!.....Cant find nothing sitting around in the house...:laughing: Nicely done 08Vette!
