The past week has been extremely slow for me on finds. A lot of clad, but no silver/gold...

Over the weekend ended up running into a lady who lost a watch that was passed down by her family and asked if I could help her out. After about 5 minutes I managed to find it 10 feet from where we were standing.

10 minutes later some guy comes running down the beach saying he lost his keys and wanted help finding those as well. He knew the general area, but it was 100 yards by 10 yards across. I ended up covering the entire area with my Excal 2 with no luck, once I finished I told him I'd give it one more pass and realized I may have discriminated the keys on the first try. Ended up turning discrimination off and got lucky and found them after about a half hour of searching.

Forgot to get pics of the recoveries...

After the weekend I was hoping all of the positive karma I had from helping those people out would come back around. Went out on an evening hunt last night and finally ended my dry spell. Got a nice piece of 925 silver with what looks like an amethyst and a few other stones... Still haven't found my first gold yet, but silver is always a great find.

Nice looking ring! The same thing happened to me searching for keys for a rescue once some years ago. I took the discrimination off and found them in 5 minutes. :roll:
 
Nice looking ring! What were you running for disc?

I had it set to 5, after doing some research though I think I'm going to keep it at 1 from now on. Seems you can miss some good finds even at a lower discrimination. I'm learning all of the sounds now for foil and bottle tops which has been helpful so there's less of a need for a high level disc.
 
wtg on the returns :yes: thats major karma on your side for sure ;) and that ring is really a nice looking ring so hey thats a good score in my book :yes: keep up the good work and Happy Hunting :cool:

Yeah, you are far better off running at minimum and getting used to the tones...
