I used a full day of vacation Thursday and went to a park for a 7 1/2 hour hunt. I am Very very happy with lots of goodies to enjoy. The 1920D SLQ was about 10 inches deep with a 1920 wheat penny right on top of it, you can still see the outline of the wheat. It has very little wear and I believe it's in a strong XF condition. The token and one of the Indians were iffy hits that when I went to dig them they were in plugs that someone else dug and missed finding. Makes me wonder how many time I gave up a good item:huh:

It has been over 5 years from the last time I found gold and the first time I found ice. I had a jeweler check it out and they are diamonds. 16 point on the large stone and 1 point each for the 5 small stones for a total weight of 1/4 carret. My wife should enjoy wearing it.

It toned a sligtly broken 33 to 36 ish on the e-trac, I was thinking zinken or hopefully a wheaty. (was realy hopeing a Indian but i don't think that out load so I don't jinx myself). I cut a nice plug about 3 inches deep and caught a glimps of shine. Normaly it's just a grass or tree root and I go on but for some reason I investigated and found this baby in the hole. I never did find what toned on the E-trac, even after going back to the hole 4 more times. My guess is large rusted iron very very deep.

Very lucky on this find.

Oh my that SLQ is to die for. I'm sure the gold with ice is nice, and a very nice find, congrats :happydance01: (and I had the same problem, last time I pulled gold with ice my wife took it over rather than let me sell it for a new machine :crazy:), but I'm just a freak for beautiful SLQs. Nice one <:
