Default Bam! Platinum day!
Have been tied down the last week or so helping pops out with home projects,,,,finished today and decided to take a two hour tour @ the "honey" hole,,,,terrible conditions,,,,high tide, rough seas, strong current,,,managed this hunker pat that weighs almost 12 grams! looking forward to some really good tides next week!

That certainly goes a long ways towards the purchase of your next detector or plenty of batteries. Nice platinum ring, good weight too
