Gold with the Pro this morning :super:

[pulltabMiner]

46 Target ID. 3 inches deep. 14K. Second gold ring with the AT Pro in two weeks. AT Pro running wide open in Pro Mode with sensitivity down to 4 bars because of all the iron at the site. 5x8DD coil. I love my Pro!

The ring I found in May was a 10K gold class ring. It bounced from the high 60's into the low 70's. The spot where I found these two rings has bits of rusted iron on the surface and under the surface and this makes all VDI's jumpy. At this spot I hunt mainly by ear but I do look at the VDI's just to learn.

I am actually making a magnet net to drag around to try to remove some of the iron. I believe a LOT of stuff is being masked at this location!

Nice catch, pulltabMiner! I hear you re: magnetic net - I've been shopping for a magnetic rake, just haven't quite made up my mind - leaning toward the kind that attaches to a regular metal leaf rake, as it would help loosen the iron just below the surface (Magna Rake, I think)....

Hmmm...46...that is lower than I would have expected, but I have heard this before...You gotta dig anything from 40 on up to find the gold...lots of junk diggin (the Iron audio helps with this though)...
I have even heard of some thin gold chains coming in in the upper 30s...
Very nice gold!

HH,

Congratulations I imagine you don't want to declare the exact spot but I would like to know what kind of spot it is? Baseball field? Playground?

Howard,

The site is actually near a park but it is not part of the park itself. This is one of those places that became popular with people to hang out and drink. It dates back to the late 1800's but it really became a popular hang out in the 20's.

It remained very popular up until the late 70's. Changes to the area, I think, made the spot more open and thus less inviting to the partiers of the day. It was and remains a semi-virgin site. I met a hunter the other day who lives across the spot and he told me he has found silver coins there too. He left me the gold though

Nowadays, the site is still used by walkers and bikers but no really to hang out and party anymore.
