Back in about 1986 I flew out to Denver to visit a friend. Oh by the way, I brought my detector along which as I remember was a Fisher 553 land machine which I floated on an inner tube and of course was digging with one of my early scoops.
During the day while my friend worked, I hunted 2 of the Denver lakes and was really killing it.
My friend wanted to try it so headed to the lake on Sunday. I sat on the shore while he floundered around for about a half hour. He gave up and came in with this comment: There is no gold in this lake.
I said "are you kidding me? I can go out without a detector and find gold"
So I headed out and started digging and sifting. In 5 minutes I had a 1954 gold class ring.
This is just one of my fond memories of this hobby.
