I had a quick hunt prior to the last storm of the season, right now there's a tonne of seaweed in the water but that'll clear soon. I'm really looking forward to a big weekend next week.
Considering I was able to pull 3 bits of gold in 2 hours it's looking promising (2 on camera one off). It was a real effort to stay in one spot, and at times I got washed inshore and couldn't find my way back to where I was digging.

Nothing big, but it's gold.

Interesting bottom there, looks like a mixture of concrete and coral or rock? Cool finds!

It's the remains of an old jetty, the natural rock is limestone that's why it's so pitted

nice video, so you like the NEMO? I've only used mine twice but I found it very hard to clear out on a target when it's deep in sand, need that shallow sand-hard bottom. congrats on the gold

hah - and then I almost dropped it!!
I've found plenty like that, where it just happens to be in a hole with another target that's bigger. It's why I dig everything.

It took a lot of getting used to, and I'm sure I've missed stuff where a hunter with their head out of the water would have heard it.
But where I go you can't keep your head out of the water, and even scuba is loud with it's bubbles so you just need to get your ears tuned into that tiny blip.
