Went for some more water detecting this morning. I would've done some dry sand but the weather has been unpredictable (well predictable rain for our summers) and I didn't want to have to worry about being out in a shower with the Deleon. I hunted for 5 hours almost all in the water. In the 4th hour is when the little yellow fellow showed up in the scoop! 
I also learned something new and very important with my Fisher today. I found that ring hunting in “Auto Tune” mode which is basically a sensitive all metal pinpoint throughout entire coil and then I flicked the knob over one setting to “0” to see what tone it was. I have been detecting this way recently in the water for a while now. A little later, I tried an experiment with the ring while in the water. I took it out and placed it under the sand again and set the detector on “3” which I use a lot in trashy areas very close to the shore and the wet sand. Guess what? The detector did not pick it up at 3! 
At 2 it did pick it up. God knows how much gold I’ve probably missed out on because of this over the years.
I was also happy to have had a very nice amount of clad for a water hunt at $6.41 and I picked up over 100 pennies for my Penny Fan Club member! 
The eyeball find sunglasses are inexpensive but in excellent shape, as the Dolfino goggles. Too bad the watch is shot. I'll rest up tomorrow and go out again on Wednesday.
