Less than five minutes in the water and twenty feet from the shore this beauty finds its way into my sifter!!

14K and flawless white gold!!

It's been a month and a half dry spell for me and I hunted many hours during that period.

Three more hours and I had recovered the usual can slaw etc.

And the usual few coins, a little fishing tackle, a couple of small bullets and pieces of brass hardware.

These targets were recovered from a boulder field of huge stones, many too large to move.

Some targets are lost down between the stones and can't be reached.

This is the most difficult digging I have ever encountered.

Every one of the recovered targets was Dual Field found and Diablo dug!!

GL&HH Friends,

Is it safe or even practical to take a "Pinch Bar" to move the rocks?
Better yet a cable come along and a couple of nylon straps in a bag?
 
Back in the game :clapping:.Way to go !!!
 
Friends I have had a few chuckles regarding your replies and thanks for that!!!

My preferred hunting grounds are badly sanded in and I am hunting here by default!

These stones are so solidly wedged in place as part of glacial action that many are immovable with anything less than TNT!!:confused:

Some of the larger ones are bigger than a small car!!

Common sense requires that a hunter move on and forget that "lost target"! (After all it may well be just a penny!) :shrug:

Hunting this ground is a struggle, but can be productive with patience and technique suited to conditions.

I jam the scoop where it can fit and hope for the best. (My technique :thumbup:) Quite a few nice rings have come out of there over the years and I have most of them to my credit!!

Friend Ivan, it is always a pleasure to see your replies!!

All the best to each and every one of you,

CJ
