Went looking for jewelry...we found some!

jwp1964 · Apr 17, 2019

Met up with Treasure Mountain Ed who secured permission on a public site that maybe virgin.

We went looking for jewelry.

There is clad everywhere. In 3.5 hours I dug right at 250 targets. 150 were coins. $19.73 in clad for me. I also dug 5 rings...3 Sterling, 2 plated junkers. I also got a plated necklace and a non precious metal St Christopher medallion. The first ring nearly caused me a stroke...CZ is huge and sparkly, lol!

Just before we had to leave Ed got his only jewelry of the day...two 10k small ladies rings in same plug. We barely scratched the surface today and are going back tomorrow. We can only be on site when gubmint employees are there.

Hopefully I can get a little gold tomorrow. I dug 46 pulltabs today...

That is a awful lot of digging Jerry. Congrats on the Sterling Rings and a huge clad total. Hope your return trip is even more successful. Trapper

Thanks Trapper. My back already hurts, but I have gold fever so doing it again tomorrow!

Thanks Jam. Haven’t dug that many targets in a while. Going to pay for it!

Now that looks like a lot of fun! Nice digging and Congrats on all the goodies! Congrats to Ed as well! Two yellow in the same hole is pretty fantastic!

A target every 50 seconds on average for 3.5 straight hours. Is that literally beep and dig? I know I often spend more time examining and thinking about a signal than the time it would take to just dig it. I wish somebody would post a video on YouTube of somebody digging at that speed so I can see how it's done. I have a property where I've dug over 300 coins but most were 4+ inches and tons of pull tabs to sort through. It's taken me a lot more than 7 hours to do it (compared to your 3.5 hours for 150 coins).

If I was faster I could have dug double. Literally every swing resulted in multiple diggable targets. It’s crazy. I almost quit two hours in.. ground is perfect for plugs and no targets deeper than about 4 inches. It’s crazy. Now, Ed only dug about 1/3 targets...he said, dang you’re fast at recovery. There were several multiple coin spills helping.

Thanks Ron. It was fun. I may skip quarter signals tomorrow to focus on mid tones. I dug 60 quarters. 5 quarter spills with two/three per.

Lotta digging

Some serious digging and serious finds. Congrats!

Double up on that ibuprofen! That site sounds great - clearing all those pulltabs will get you to the rings

joee5 · Apr 18, 2019

I know your back was mad at you in the morning LoL

Saltshaker · Apr 18, 2019

Wow, what a site you found. 5 rings in the dirt is rare so that must be a virgin site for sure. Congrats on the silver!
