    Slim Pickins

    Hit the beach Saturday ( in the water ) and it was clean, and I mean clean...definitely been hammered. Loaded up and headed to another spot I hit a couple times last week, and the pickins were slim. I did both water, wet and dry sand and found my first gold ring. It had a setting for a stone but it was missing. Sure felt good to see it in the basket and hope it's the first of many.

    Wow, I've been out about eight times since getting the Exalibur and this is the first gold I've found, so, I'd guess a kazillion to one. lol
