Today me and my friend Luke tryed to locate some ancient beaches. We drove around for a while without success. Most of the places were unprecise and we could end up detecting for miles without locating the right spots. So we ended up revisiting and old site we hunted for years. I tryed a different spot where i knew stood an old beach and at the beguinning, things were pretty trashy and slow. After the first pennies and the first silver dime, my minelab went dead... and stupid me i forgot my back up battery pack !
That ment i had to walk back to the car and take out the tiger shark. I wasn't thrill because all the signals were pretty deep in the muck and there was a lot of trash... not exactly the tiger's speciality !
After digging old bottle caps, and several little bits of foil, i was about to call it a day when i got a little 10K signet gold ring ! Well the day wasn't waisted after all !
After a while, out came a gold wannabee ring... made of brass. Oh well a ring is better than a bottle cap ! and then a bit later, i got the second gold ring ! A nice yellowish ring not stamped. At home i tested it and it's a least 18K !
At the same moment, Luke found a small 10K ting as well, so we each found gold and that was great ! Didn,t get mutch more after that... targets are simply too deep and the muck gets softer in the deeper waters... still it might be worth revisiting some day !

Finally, here is a view of my gold of the season... there are some from last year's as well. can't recall witch season each comes from... i need two more gold to beat my record as well. Up to 69, need to get 71... hope i'll get some more time to detect !
