    How gold settles in the water

    I hunt the Chesapeake Bay, seems every beach here has different habits, due to the fact each is affect differently. Even different area's of the same beach can act different. Big or small gold rings can be just about any depth. Some I believe lie just where they were dropped and maybe sunk...

    Gold Ring #101 with a few old silvers

    Out Saturday for 3 1/2 hours working a small area that has now given me about 10 gold rings in the last month. Water was a little calmer then Fridays failed hunt and tide was dropping good so it made things a little easier to get where I needed and to hear the faint signals of the Excalibur in PP.
