Tiny gold in scoop

Finally water warmed up few degrees and I used wet suit for the first time this year.
That revealed another problem ... I am not heavy enough to stay on bottom and detect
when in deeper water... had no strenght to push in scoop in 5 feet of water.
Short hunt ... 2 hours in water ... water temp about 72F.

Got this gold earring and few coins.
Bling heart is copper.

Thanks, it is gold and stones :)
 
Excellent!
Tiny gold is tougher to find than big gold.
You can increase your depth range with a wet suit by using a weight belt.
The more lead, the deeper you can get :crazy:

Small gold ... faint signals ... my scoop has smaller holes (8mm)
My friend who is diver says that I have no experience diving so a bit dangerous.
I would be walking on the bottom pinned with detector and scoop ... with lead on belt.
For my weight about 5 kg of lead
 
Glad you got out and did some detecting and found some gold. Tiny gold is better than no gold.
 
Diving requires a different weight trim than wading. For diving a little more weight is needed than for suspending. For wading more pressure (or gravitational force) is preferable for pushing your scoop into the ground. A diving belt with a quick release buckle is indispensable for both activities.
