Went to a totlot this morning about 40 min from my home. Hunted it about a year ago with no luck. Today was different. I was just finishing the totlot and getting ready to leave when a lady with her young son motioned me to come over by the fence, she was outside of the totlot. I had my over the ear headphones on because there were two industrial strength park lawn mowers doing their thing. She wanted to know where the restrooms were located. I told her. I decided what the heck, I had walked over to the fence area that I had not planned on hunting. Within 2 steps, I got a solid 68. Hmm, what is a 68 on a XP Deus 2? It didn't matter, since I dig every signal in a totlot or volleyball court other than iron.
Could I believe my eyes? Yellow gold peeking out from the chips? it felt hefty and I could see marks on the inside of the ring, but not make them out. When I got home, with a loupe I found out it was a 916 mark meaning 22k gold weighing 8 grams melt value of about $640. Talk about luck. I will easily dig many hundred targets before I get real gold. Much like playing a slot machine except a lot less expensive and no less addictive.
