Minelab Excalibur strikes gold again!

Filed under Metal Detector Finds by Mark on Mar 16th, 2009.

I was lucky enough to be able to hunt the beach early this morning. The weather over the weekend was warm and the beach was full of half naked bodies covered in slippery suntan oil. Ahhhh, this is always a good recipe for metal detectors.

I surveyed the beach as I drove, looking for that perfect spot to stop and I spotted it. There appeared to be a nice fresh rip that had moved quite a bit of sand away. You should always hit these spots immediately because the tide or the wind will fill the rip full of sand and all of the goodies will become unreachable again.

I starting getting targets right away and the rip went for about a half mile. Right when I was about to turn around, I got a nice strong signal. I hit it with my scoop. My Minelab Excalibur told me that whatever was in the hole was no longer there, that could only mean one thing. It was in my scoop. I rinsed the sand away and laying in the bottom was this nice 14k gold ring!

If you are thinking about getting into the hobby of metal detecting and you want to try your luck at the beach you should really think about getting a Minelab Excalibur. They can be found new here! If you want to save some serious cash and who doesn’t, then you can find some great deals on used Minelab Excalibur’s right here.
