The past week has been extremely slow for me on finds. A lot of clad, but no silver/gold...
Over the weekend ended up running into a lady who lost a watch that was passed down by her family and asked if I could help her out. After about 5 minutes I managed to find it 10 feet from where we were standing.
10 minutes later some guy comes running down the beach saying he lost his keys and wanted help finding those as well. He knew the general area, but it was 100 yards by 10 yards across. I ended up covering the entire area with my Excal 2 with no luck, once I finished I told him I'd give it one more pass and realized I may have discriminated the keys on the first try. Ended up turning discrimination off and got lucky and found them after about a half hour of searching.
Forgot to get pics of the recoveries...
After the weekend I was hoping all of the positive karma I had from helping those people out would come back around. Went out on an evening hunt last night and finally ended my dry spell. Got a nice piece of 925 silver with what looks like an amethyst and a few other stones... Still haven't found my first gold yet, but silver is always a great find.
