    Finally, first gold!

    Hey all,
    Got out for a couple hours before work. First tried at a high school where I had hoped would have some goodies, but it didn't pan out. Since I was already close to the beach I decided to give it a go for the last 90 minutes before work. Since we had a few strong storms lately, the shoreline is drastically changed with much of the sand washed out exposing what was the deep gravel bed earlier in the year.
    The first hour gave up little more than a couple old pull tabs. But as I moved into shallow water near one end of the beach I got a solid 12-16. I was guessing another big ring pull but got excited when I saw shiny roundness in the scoop between the stones. Hoping it wasn't another junk ring, looked inside and saw my first 14k stamp! Great way to end the afternoon, and I'll be back in the morning for maybe another hour.
