When I tell people how many gold rings I've found they call me a liar. I never don't dig a target. A broken gold ring sounds just like a nail on my Excalibur 2. I've had times when I swore I was digging another pull tab only to find a gold ring in my scoop. DIG EVERY SINGLE SIGNAL.
@ringhunter10069 ай бұрын
I have found 15 GOLD rings this year so far (rings only) and I always do better with wet ground than dry hard as hell cement soil . Central Texas soil when wet is like moist cake but dang it is truly cement when dry.😊

my one and only gold ring i found ended up being right behind the towel line next to a boat on a small beach that got crowded by people day after day during my vacation i think you're right, that and the water is where stuff ends up.

The other two I found on a hill in a park Monday and Tuesday. Very exciting! Thanks for your videos. I've learned a lot from you. Jordan from Toronto.

I guess that it's also the cultural identity in your area that has a huge impact on if you are finding gold or not. Here in middle/ northern Europe the is no such thing as class rings and - other then in north America - engagement rings are not that important and often made of silver. For many husbands it's culturally not even that important to wear a wedding ring here. Also if you are wearing expensive jewellery on a everyday occasion many people will judge you as a show-off, so the more expensive jewellery is mostly kept at home. I know a lot of metal detectorists in the area who dig practically every signal, but they hardly ever find gold. That's why I enjoy your videos so much, it shows me some finds wich I can't really expect in my area.

Deus 2 confusion.... Shallow water hunting- ankle to neck deep. Which plug? Red or black? Black only good to 3 FEET! That's right, they rate at 1 meter! Red plug causes internal pressure out of the water. So if I hunt patterns in the water ankle to waist, to neck deep, won't the black plug be close to 3 foot depth? Or under leak causing pressure due to surf? Can't use Red plug out of water. I do not want to limit my search pattern to plug choice. I just do not understand the thinking of the black plug only good to 3 feet??? So far, Deus has not responded to my concern, and if it's not answered by someone, I may dump the Deus. I lost 2 3030s and 3 Equinox to leaking in shallow water/surf. Since you're their ambassador, perhaps you might make a vid on this?

@@MetalDetectingDonna There is a lifetime of info to share there, some basics would be look for a body of water along the old roads (armies needed water.) With that said, I can’t imagine many civil war camps up around Sarasota. I’m sure there were militia drill and muster grounds but as for an actual civil war encampment I would say the chances are slim up there. With that said however, you can also check the official records of the civil war and your local library for any mentions of Sarasota during the civil war. Good luck!
