I did a 3-hour hunt at a favorite beach. It's been pretty heavily sanded in but there were a couple of areas that have eroded somewhat, at least enough to produce a few green coins. I was expecting some heavier targets but nothing turned up. Eventually I started working the edges where the sand thickened and found a good 14K band that weighs in at 9.71 g. It was pretty clean coming out of the scoop but shined up even better. I'm hoping that October will move sand offshore and open up some new hot spots!

Nothing to be sad about when you have a near 10 gr. 14K ring find!

A good capture in bad conditions is always a plus. Congrats on the 14k.

Ya gotta love a clanker of that magnitude! Anything over 8gr 14k is Solid money and worth the effort for a few hours!! $80 per hour gold find is Doctor/Plumber/Mechanic money! Great profitable score!

Thanks Z. Most of the rings I find are men's bands, which are usually chunkier. Happy with that!

Except when you add in all those other hours with only pull tab and bottle cap finds. About average low wages for trash pickup? Thanks Mud!

Thanks all for the kind comments. Three more hunts have produced nothing but a few coins, a couple good fishing lures, and the usual trash, but I have high hopes for changing beach conditions and more gold! Happy hunting out there.
