River hunt with 60 coins and 1 small gold.

[PaPa-Joe-Fla.]

Went to the river today to cool off, 94 degrees and killer humidity, a typical August day in Fl. When I got there the park Ranger told me 2 other people had been hunting the past couple of days that I may not want to pay to get in today. I told him I didn't mind sharing if they didn't, they can't get it all. I soon found out they left plenty for me and the Excal. 4 1/2 hrs. of fun. Found 60 coins and small Gold 10K ,1 gram. Got a Nitro earring, really looked good in the scoop with the sunlight hitting it, but junk. HH

Gold, however small, is still gold and makes a great day. Nice finds, PaPa. I always enjoy your pics.

That must be fun to find a ring!

Looks like a great place to hunt. our rivers up here in Washington look nothing like that! Huge boulders, cobbles, gravel and some sand. It is a fight with a scoop most of the time!

Best regards,
Steve

Yesssssss papa-joe, Night hunting with a leed light, make all the junk look like diamond and all the aluminium and S steel look like platinium.

Good find there

Was at one of the state park springs a few weeks back and was wondering how much gold was in there.... Is it allowed in the state parks? Ill bring my detector my next go around

No matter what people tell me, like yourself I'll give it a try anyway. No beach or lake is ever cleaned. As always, great job!!

The only State parks you can hunt in Fl. are on the coast, you can't hunt the Inland parks wheather it be river or lakes.
