    Size 12, 9.14 Grams, Gold & Ice



    I found this beauty at one of our sanded in beaches. I almost went home after looking at the conditions . I found a thin spot about chest deep and worked the area....sure glad I didn't leave .

    Conditions have been bad for water hunting but good for wet sand with all the sand leaving the beaches. I found 4 rings yesterday, ( two stainless, one silver and a mood ring ) all junkers but any of them could have been gold.

    I was using my DFPI, if had my Excalibur it would have saved me a LOT of digging junk.

    Can't believe didn't post that 8/.... 14 K my friend.

    It only takes one ring like that to pay for the detector , but they have paid for themselves already.

    Well there's only one thing to do, it's time to add a Sovereign GT to my arsenal for wet and dry sand.

    With the Excalibur, Dual Field PI, Sovereign GT and MXT Pro I should have all the bases cover.
