I sort of did a modified REVIER/Tabman pattern today...only had an hr and a half, hit an old dirt football/soccer field Ive been to many times with the screwdriver...thought Id try to pop some gold..so I was set up to attempt to find some by assessing the size and depth of each signal, and not just fly over it like normal...F70 set at 60 sens, DP tones, 4disc.....so I just eased along, picking targets, trying to get the solid and tight profile ones, especially the off numbers that didnt jump.....picked up some nice multidenom spills and stacks (which did jump of course)..the largest tight stack had 3Q's a few D's, 2 N's and a penny...and it sure didnt sound like anything but junk of course...then I hit that chain bracelet signal...in the low 50's not a number you hear all the time....its a heavy chain, but junk, but it was the right tone for big gold...sort of fun to work an area that no doubt holds some gold somewhere, probably in foil, but who knows? Might be a mens class ring in zinc there too, or a girls in the high tabs (37)...its an old place as you can tell from the beavertails, used to be a lot of clad, but I've hit this place before multiple times pretty hard...cold North wind...I'm tired of hunting the water and beaches in this chill, though I've lost 20lbs being in the cold and running the sand for a few months, so thats good I guess, but boring as hell, and does not require a lot of skill or target evaluation tecniques, just endurance and speed...not one day in July over 90 degrees makes for slim beach hunting..I prefer dirt work with the 70 over all other forms of hunting...its rewarding and fun, even just targeting tabs and zincs and going at a relaxed pace can be fun..

If there's a gold ring out on the sport's field, you'll find it. I figure each field has a dozen or more rings waiting to be found.
Good advice and info that I should know by now!
