Gold from the swimmen hole

New member
I have been hunting this swimmen hole for a couple of weeks with my AT-Gold and now with my E-Trac. The water is about ankle to knee deep. It is a river bed full of sand and gravel with lots of hot black sand. I have pulled a bunch of silver jewelry out of this place, but the Gold has been hiding. Today I got out with my Trac in the water and started digging everything. I am running with an open screen and my sens. set at man. 25. I goes down to low in auto+3. I have dug hundreds of square tabs and screw caps from this place. My ATG did a good job of getting the surface stuff, but now the targets are coming from 6" to 12" down. Low tones everywhere pull tab, pull tab, pull tab....... then I got a pull tab tone that sounded diff. and it was reading 1/ 17 about 8" deep. The target was still in the hole after the first scoop. The next scoop I went deep into the black sand and as I was coming up through the water I could see this ring sitting pretty in the black sand.:crazy: I new it was Gold and i just stuck it in my pocket. I got the little 925 dolphin pin a few feet away. I was surprised that the Trac picked this little thing up, but it is silver and the Trac likes silver. The ring is 3.5g 10k with 49 diamonds
