    MXS finds Gold, Silver & IHP Water Hunting

    I had to work most of the holiday weekend but was able to get out to a beach I researched this week that no one uses anymore but was popular back in the day!

    The first ring I got was this smashed 10k with a bust etched in the glass

    A friend of mine asked me how many pull tabs and bottle caps do you need to dig to find a gold ring so I saved them all since the last one...I have not counted them yet!!!

    You have some very nice fine Pastpersuit. I got wised up and don''t dig pull tabs, penny's or silver coins either! I Just dig gold, and platinum rings and jewelry with a my minelab CTX-3030 in the water on a Andy Sabisch Gold program. In all honestly I do dig an occasional pull tab when it's a if-e target. Good Luck. Budwiser
