I am now hunting in the most challenging area I have ever hunted: It is a debris field of iron nails and in the lake bed composed of marble-sized to golf-ball-sized pebbles, all under 1.5 meters of water, but I figure the pebbles are so dense that it has trapped some gold jewelry over the years (the rocks prevent the gold from sinking deeper).
I am using a CTX3030 for this site as my Excal gets overwhelmed by the sheer number of targets here. I recorded a minute of audio from this site. You can hear what I am talking about here:

I was there yesterday and it was incredibly slow going due to the multitude of iron targets scattered throughout the area. I hunted for a couple of hours and then it started to thunder and lightning and then rain hard, so I paused and got out of the water.
The rain slowed down a bit so I went back in the lake and dug this really nice yellow and white gold 10k wedding band. It is pretty heavy at 9 grams and it was, as I suspected, in the thick of the pebbles at a depth of about 8". Gold ring # 12 for the year.

Here it is cleaned up a bit:
