FAT 14k in the scoop!

[MrJeep]

Hunted a local lake with the Legend until the crowd started arriving. Didn't find much in the swimming area except for 28 cents, some foil and then the fat 14k ring! It rang up as a 38-39 and was surprised to see it in the bottom of my new to me Sunspot 720i, weighs in at 10.1 grams. Sunglasses were an eyeball find.

I like the "fresh reveal" shot of the ring still in the scoop. That is the "come to papa" moment

Good work, seeing that glint of gold in the scoop when you first bring it up is what keeps us interested in this hobby. Me, I usually have to sift some sand out or poke through a bunch of shells before it reveals itself....then....AHAAA! YES!

(unless it's plated...then...dang it!)

That's a nice chunk of gold!

That’s a honker alright!

Excellent find, a 38 39 on the Legend doesn't yield fatties like that very often.

I like it when you calculate weight of ring in grams to value of 14k gold.

Thanks Earl! My first machine from Nokta Makro was the Simplex+, I got it due to it's price and it being waterproof. I wanted it for hunting freshwater swimming areas because I didn't want to submerge my Equinox 800 due to flooding issues. When the Legend came out, being multi-frequency, I upgraded so I would also have a back-up for saltwater beaches. The Legend has been a great machine for the price, I've had no issues with it. I'm running update 1.11 and have no performance issues. The Legend has paid for itself multiple times.
