My first detector, a Garrett Freedom 1 Coinmaster purchased as a gift to my father who'd just retired, is the only one I've found gold with. In the first 5-10 minutes of beeping in my front yard, I found a gold 4 leaf clover pin with a diamond set in the middle. Friendship Pin I was told they were called, often given to girlfriends by soldiers heading to Viet Nam.
I've not done much beach or park detecting but have yet to find that yellow shine in any digs since. Has this first lucky find ruined my chances or do I just have to work harder?
I have capable detectors for the task now, with intent to hit the gold fields out west next Spring and forever more during impending retirement. I'm feeling like I have to break the lack of gold streak before I go, and the leaves are beginning to fall and frozen ground is coming soon.
