Offshore wind does not happen too often here, so a guy has to take advantage of it when it does. I went out in Lake Mich where I found that mood ring yesterday. Figured theres gotta be another ring in this cut if that one was there. Second target at 6:30am was this 2gr 14k mens band. solid 53 signal:thumbup: Later working pretty deep water where a sand bar used to be, got a very deep nickel signal...just a tiny pip, no TID at all, turned the sens up one more notch and it was just a bit louder but not much, still no TID, took out a few scoops and it got louder, I just kept scooping and sweeping the ever expanding hole and finally brought up a 36 buffalo nickel!. I ran out of steam at 9:30...I gotta get in a little better shape when the season gets in full swing and miles of sand need sweeping.

Nice piece of gold Mud! Thanks for the "pip" tip!!

Excellent score on the goldie, Cachorro de Barro, (mud puppy in Spanish), tons better than my crappie airplanes I got yesterday.

That's some good thinking and fancy scooping, Mud! I wonder how many would have persisted long enough to pull that Buff out of the depths?
 
Thanks guys...well you know sweeping any large targetless expanse, like a beach or in the water offshore..some signals just need to be explored, especially when it can be a long time between them. I aint carrying this scoop around for nothing right? This nickel tone signal was solid nickel, but really tiny, like a split shot or something, except no TID on the screen, as I dug and the hole got deeper, and I would wiggle the coil down in there, the Tid would bounce around and I thought maybe deep brass or small lead scrap of some sort, cant be a pulltab this deep I thought, as the sides of the hole seemed to interfere with the signal...remember, I'm in waist deep Lake Michigan water, digging away, both arms submerged, I bet the hole was well over a foot deep, and I am not kidding. Anyway, I am constantly amazed at this machines abilities, and love the loud tones of the waterproof headphones even through the stocking hat I was wearing, (yep, only mid 40's this am again) and the foam cut outs I put in the cups..I am pretty sure I would not go after this kind of signal dirt hunting..too dang deep and tiny, but in the big water looking for gold, well, yes.

Gold is good! Congrats. Water hunting does change your parameters huh? I've dug bottle caps on the shore just cause I hadn't found anything good for a while. Nice ring. Artie
 
Two words...Nice, and..nice. Very hard work with a payoff!

Nice find on the ring, Mud. You are right about digging more in the water than the land. I have some things that fall thru my scoop and I spent about 30 minutes trying to recover a target in the water a few weeks ago that I never would have dug on land. Gotta love the pro mode, because if you get the pip or the tone that's right, you know something special is waiting for the scoop. Congratulations & HH.
