Hi Guys,
I decided to revisit one of the local swimming holes and check for any new deposits. This spot gets worked over quite frequently by some of my local competitors so I didn't expect to find much. But the weather has been hot so I had a good excuse to jump in the water and cool of a bit (Plus get out of doing some badly needed yard work). After dredging up a few pull-tabs, I spotted a 14K band resting in the bottom of the scoop ... made my day! An hour or so later, I got a nice deep coin hit ... ended up being a cellphone buried under a foot of sand. My ATG loves cellphones .. too bad they're not worth anything after laying at the lake bottom for a couple of years. Then came a deep nickel hit which proved to be another 14K ring. Two paces away came ring #3. It was small with a purple stone and looked to be gold but was only 10K gold filled. Overall ... not a bad day for a hammered spot. Here's a pic ...
Have fun out there!
