I'm getting closer to the GOLD!!

[BigCatDaddy]

Tuesday saw me hanging around the house, having to assist BigCatMomma after her Mohs surgery for a skin cancer removal. Being fair skined, she never gets in the sun, but it got her anyway. Use the sunscreen guys!! Anyhow, inspired by Johns new sifter, I decided to put one togeter using what I had around the house. I've collected a few abandoned Noodles left at the lakes and with a small rectangle tub drilled full of holes, a few zip ties and nylon rope, I built one that is serviceable. The hole in the Noodles is just right for a Vibraprobe. I would rather have a Propointer, but I've already drowned one. Here's the sifter!!

It worked pretty good but I might have to drill out the holes a little larger, or not. It towed well in the water and is handy for resting the scoop in as I detect.

OK, here's the mornings take from Wednesday mornings 3 hr. hunt.

I finally got a ring with some value!! Not gold, but a nice heavy silver band. Heres' a closeup of the 925 and makers mark.

It was a good morning to be in the water with the ATPro, Thanx Garrett for making this great all-terrain detector!!

I discovered that when I get fatigued, my sand scoop will float nicely on my sifter and just follow me around wherever I go. Congrats on a nice ring!

Tomorrows the day!
