Three Consecutive Gold Days

[fsa46]

I went back to the gold fields only to find the covered with about 3' of sand and waves big enough to surf on. I went up the road only to find the same conditions.

I checked out another beach on the way home and seen some rocky areas, ( not many ) but thought I'd give it a try after the hour and a half ride.

The undertow was brutal, and if I dropped my scoop it would be history. There was a lot of potential at this spot if the conditions weren't so hazardous.

I only hunted an hour and fifteen minutes and managed the finds posted. Gold was one of them, a 10K, 2g engagement ring. Not a monster but under the circumstances I felt like spiking the football.

I remember my good friend Cupajo telling me he didn't get to be his age by doing stupid things. I took his advice and headed home.

Maybe, but it's hard to hit a moving target.

Really?? How fast can you move being weighed down with all that gold

I don't think it's the gold that's weighing me down, but we'll leave it at that.

Dan, You are more than welcome ANYTIME you want to go...just let me know.

As far as mentors, only one, Cupajo. CJ has got me off on the right foot with the DFPI, ( which has paid for ALL my machines ( 6 ) , scoops, waders and everything associated with this wonderful hobby.

However, the Excalibur has found my last 8 rings, and I can't forget my favorite wet/dry sand machine, the Sovereign GT.

Some nice finds there! Thanks for sharing.

Nice ring. (Hmm, I wonder if the original ring owner ever made it to the altar, since she couldn't even retain her ring??)
