Default There's Gold in dem dare tot lots!!

So this weekend I went up to visit my girlfriend, after the bonsai show we decided to go out and hit a beach. It was rainy and a little breezy and cold but we managed through for about 2 hours.. nothing more than a few clad and one heavy pebble, and a cross(trinket).

The rock was quite amazing for me to find as it doesn't look like iron but as you can tell from the pictures.. it is relatively small but weighs 22.75 grams it does have magnetic properties to it so I figured I would share my finds.

So today being a new day we decided to revisit the first beach and a few false signals (not sure why) but maybe the rain and wet sand made a difference but get beep dig and nothing. We called it there once all the kids from the zoo came over and crowded the beach. Looked on google and found another beach about 20 mins away.

As we pull in I seen a tot lot and figured why not buzz through with a fast swing just to see. Checking the bottom of one of the slides we found the 14k bracelet weighing in at about 5.7 grams on the far right you can see(hard to make out but it says 14k Italy, needless to say I was happy. The beach was not really that good and we were getting tired so we called it an afternoon.

The ring picture was from last week when Skirbnod and I md'ed around the basement job.ring weighs 5.4 grams.

Thanks everyone!
This new find has put my mind in high gear for new places and also researching new detector. Don't get me wrong this little quick draw 2 is doing me well. but since it is almost paid for itself already time to get closer to upgrade.
