Hi all,
Got out to 5 different lakes today without much to show. The first one I had high hopes for but only found someone else detecting the water. Not even a penny there. Most of the lakes were the same.
But, the 4th lake was the one I needed to hit. It was tough with a lot of natural iron on the bottom, plus a mostly large stone base. But I started finding several buckles in the water just off the beach. Figured it was a great sign. Along one edge of the swim area I got a typical foil signal, a 12-03. Figured I would dig it anyway since it was nice and consistent from every angle. Surprised the heck out of me when I say that shiny gold color! It's 14k, and the ruby tests real.
I also picked up a junker ring there that has hallmarks in it. I can see the 18K, so must have been plated. As usual the toy car was a screamer, and that stainless washer got me good. I was sure it was gold too.
