:detecting::usaflag:Perfect Day For Water Hunting For Gold!!

[Cupajo]

Yesterday I hunted 3 hours and recovered 60 targets that were mostly junk except 1 tiny wire ring of silver. (It was so thin it would barely cast a shadow!!)

Today was a 4 hour hunt with everything perfect including Mr. Dual Field with8 new batteries and Diablo ready for tough digging as always.

15 pieces of lead (sinkers and bullets), 14 real pennies, 2 zincolns, some clad, a gold filled wedding band and cross, a Merc so thin I bent it in my fingers while trying to get the crust off and 1 10K Senior ring (from 1970) rounded out the keepers outa 78 targets recovered.

A very satisfactory hunt says I.

GL&HH Friends,

CJ

PS For those readers prone to count the finds in the pictures, I leave out the larger items such as red bricks and pieces of bricks and chunks of metal I disposed of rather than lug them around. PI machines love red bricks!

great day it was cupajo congrats on the ring i too had a first time water hunt and got some yellow

I enjoy reading your posts. Great stuff.
Interested in why red bricks make signals.

 

[Cupajo]

GT, the red bricks get their color from their iron content which the detector senses.

The spot I've been hunting has a lot of them from houses that were destroyed during severe storms in the past. (My best guess!)

As I recover them, I remove them to a place where I hope never to dig them up again!

Thanks for your insightful question Friend,

CJ
