    Beach hunt, .950 silver & more fake gold.

    Hi all,
    Tried an afternoon hunt to beat out the early bird morning hunters. Still not much, but probably because of fewer beach goers with colder weather with rain showers. Still, I managed some beer money and a couple rings. One is my first .950 silver, the other was another beautiful 12-30 signal. Unfortunately once again a fake gold with stones. Thinking I need to hunt beaches near a better class of beach goers!

    Keep searching, pretty soon a cut will open up somewhere out there and gold will be waiting!

    All 3 of the fake gold rings came out of a big cut that recently opened up which was why I had more than expected something good with the signals I got.
