I went back to that swimming hole I got the ring at yesterday and commenced to working the deep water drop off. not a lot there, got this very tiny black ring that turned out to be .8gr and 10k very old...then I noticed a large shallow flat that I figured would be a great area for an in the water football game. Along came split shots, coins, and bottle tops from some Leinenkugle beer, a good sign I thought, perhaps some pseudo-wealthy young gentlemen hang out here and not cheap old Bud drinkers such as myself. Cheap old Bud drinkers have too much respect for the environment to toss bottle tops in the water, besides that, we drink from cans, and we stand in awe of the design and metallurgical engineering that goes into producing a pulltab so we don't tear those off either. And, we are NOT going to lose any of our gold, our typical only possession of such being a generally small, tight fitting, and unobtrusive ring on our left hand. A daily reminder of past dalliances, HOWEVER, a testosterone charged younger male WOULD drink a fancy beer, play football in shallow water, show off, rough house, and might be inclined to wear a big class ring or other shiny trinket of wealth, intended to catch the eye of his quarry I reckoned! So, sweeping merrily along, got a very scratchy 41-42 bouncy signal on the Pro and about wet myself bloody stupid seeing half this chain hanging out of the scoop! (10k) I pulled a tight and careful circle around the find in search of a medallion to no avail. Dug a few quarters at over a foot running half throttle...I've been working hard to find gold fellows, so I was due, plus its a waning Moon, which everyone knows helps...

WTG Mud,
You have found a great spot, just take your time and find all the goodies. I haven't found a gold chain yet, but two sterling silver and one costume chain and they give me a fit trying to get them to stay in my scoop. Looks like your scoop has different size holes and all my are either 1/2 or 5/8 inch holes and chains will keep going thru and drive me crazy. I hope I can hit the water next Thursday or Saturday.
I did see a modification on the beach hunting forum that involved using some 1/4 inch hardware cloth and I might give it a try. Good luck and HH.
 
[size=large]as is said," All Good Gold Comes To Those Who Wade" or somethin like that. congrats on your thoughtful thinking and subsequent find..

Great hunt, Mud!! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. That's a nice, hefty chain! I also enjoyed your psychological profiling of the area and potential 'victims', I have to say, though, when I was young and (more) foolish, we used to drink Leinenkugel's when we hung out at the southern Wisconsin lakes, mainly because it was even cheaper than "Bear Whiz" beer! :rofl:
 
It's great to see an AT Pro doing the things the AT Pro was designed to do. Nice, very nice. May many more treasures find their way into your scoop.
 
Thanks Friends! Hey William, that "profiling an area" is something that really adds a deeper dimension to this sport that makes what we do so interesting.
Just looking at a location, be it a totlot, or snow hill, or old mining town, sports field, whatever..and thinking of what might have occurred here in the past, and then going over and confirming the thought process with the detector! Even on a beach to be hitting targets that somebody left behind tells a story of what may have transpired the day before! What an awesome tool these detectors are! For people with an active imagination that needs to be fed, they are truly a wonder!
