Closed out April with quadruple gold!

Slimpickuns · May 2, 2017

Hit the beaches over the weekend for some very early morning low tide hunts. Friday and Saturday hunts yielded mainly clad and silver and was a little frustrating expecting to hit gold at any moment since there were so many good targets but the beach was being stubborn and just wouldn't give it up. So on Sunday I decided to try another beach 35 miles in the opposite direction. Less clad at this beach and only a few silver items but I finally was able to scoop out what i was looking for and ended up scoring 3 white gold rings and a gold bracelet. The 14k Diamond ring weighs 4.6 grams, the 18k w/diamond weighs 1.7 grams, and the 10k w/amethyst weighs 2.4 grams. The real meat is in the 14k bracelet that weighs 10.4 grams. I estimate about 18 1/2 hours spent this weekend metal detecting and worth every minute. :cheers:

Thanks for lookin, GL & HH!

Very nice Slim... I like the rings best

you need to go back to find the gold coin that was hanging off that eyelet

Awesome take man, that bracelet looks great!

Wow! That is unbelievably cool! And looks like quite a few interesting silvers there as well. That is more gold and silver than I've found in my entire short career. Definitely got some catching up to do! :grin:

Way to go Dave. You deserve it. You put in more hours and methodically cover ground better than anyone. Hope you keep finding more.

Thanks TK-421! Don't worry, I'm predicting that you will be scooping up loads of Platinum and 24k gold very soon :yes:

Thanks Canuck! Yea its always nice to hit multiple gold, my record is 7 in 1 hunt and that was about 3 years ago..Under the right conditions some hunts can be unbelievable! I'm a very big fan of wet sand hunting.

Thanks metaladdict! I do love me my Sov GT

Thanks Ice! Looking forward to your killer posts! :yes:

has the ice melted yet?

Yea I usually sell the good intact jewelry that I find for way more then melt value. I learned how to re-weld broken rings back together so even less jewelry ends up in the scrap pile, just the seriously trashed items go to ARA now.

Thanks Bud! Yea man after I hit that 1st gold on the 3rd hunt I made sure to cross-hatch grid the whole area from every angle to make sure I cleaned everything out. :cheers:
