7am water dig with gold!

Here's the short GoPro video clip of the live ring dig! https://youtu.be/GYu4f5qjEpo
Got up early and headed out to a local beach to do a little water digging. The beach is full by 10am, because it's so hot around here. Apparently this beach has been under the radar because, I picked up over 4.00 in change and i even got an eyeball find of a junk spinner ring. The 10K white gold band was the best find, with a close second with the purple rat rod hot wheels. Oh and the floating golf balls are nice too. The local course sells these for 5 or 6 bucks a piece.

Good variety--thanks for sharing.

Gold of any size or quality is always a very nice find. Congratulations. I am having serious withdrawal symptoms from not finding any gold in the past two months. Well in excess of 100 hours invested for a couple sterling rings and a bunch of clad. Send some of your donors up my way.

Looks like a fun and interesting hunt. Way to go on the gold. HH jim tn

Those balls must not be regulation (weight vs. diameter) if they float - right?

I find golf balls frequently while diving. I think people hit them from their back patios into the ocean.

Oddly enough, the floater golf balls are sold to you when ever you play 18 holes at the Coeur d'Alene resort golf course. They have a floating green in the lake. So they sell you an overpriced ball, but your caddie never retrieves it. So they all end up in a few different coves around Tubbs Hill. I used one the other day and had an incredible 260 yard drive. I have about 30 of them.

Just for grins and giggles try weighing one of these balls and a regular ball - I'm betting these are lighter.

I work on the river 30 miles downstream from the golf course. We have boxes of those balls. I can only imagine how many more pass through our facility and through the other 3 dams to make it to the Columbia and ultimately to the Pacific.
$6 bucks each, huh? Wow!
