We've been super sanded in the past few weeks... conditions seem to have progressively gotten worse. Today I spent a couple hours trying to find a single signal out deep without any luck. It seems the only areas worth hunting are right up against the shoreline, but even then I mostly just found pull tabs.
Somehow I still managed to pull 2 golds and a silver onyx ring with a gold inlay over my last 2 hunts. The silver ring was today, it was literally my first signal, after that it was all pull tabs and bottle caps.
The gold ring and earring were found on my previous hunt last week, both in the same area within 20ft of each other. Both items sounded more like foil than anything because of how small they were... that's also probably the only reason I was able to find them, any heavier and they would've been out of reach.
Both gold finds are marked 14k. The silver and gold onyx signet ring is unmarked, but it did come out of the water with the classic silver patina and the gold was untarnished, so I'm assuming it's 14k+. Not sure why it's unmarked, maybe it was a custom job.
With these last few finds I've now passed 8 ounces in gold for the year
A half pound!!! Woot woot 
Maybe next year, if I don't have knee surgery and hunt more than 4 months of the year I'll hit my 1lb goal.

Glad to see that you managed something worthwhile out there! Although I haven't been out with the same frequency that I had last year during this period, conditions have not been as conducive.
If that was plat it'd be 20+ grams..
