Popular Post Compass Posted August 1 Popular Post Share Posted August 1 ...it wasn't. After 3 hours in the wet sand I had only found a few coins but I wanted to hit one last spot before calling it a day. I was pretty sure that it was going to be a long, disappointing drive home but soon after reaching the area I wanted to check I got a nice, loud signal on the Excal. I switched to "disc." and got a smooth full tone and had the target in my scoop on the first try. A quick rinse in the surf revealed a nice silver colored band in the bottom of my basket. I could tell that it was a fresh drop silver ring and when I picked it up for a closer look I was underwhelmed by the design and thought, "Oh well, another one for the melt pile." I was pretty shocked when I looked inside the ring and saw "Gucci" "Made in Italy" and "Ag 925" stamped inside. A few weeks ago I found what I thought was a nice gold chain (see picture) only to find that it was plated. Now I found what seemed to be a garden variety silver ring that is pricey "designer" jewelry. You just never know! https://www.gucci.com/us/en/pr/jewelry-watches/silver-jewelry/silver-rings/guccighost-ring-in-silver-p-477339J84000701 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skate Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I know those days where you swing your coil over your scoop just to make sure the stupid thing still works. That's an awesome ring! I seem to be the king of stainless steel right now, glad to see others getting some good finds. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good finds but not much gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have opted for a dry sand hunt but I like the wet and, fortunately, I got the drop I needed.

I forgot to mention that I bumped into another hunter with a shiny new Deus 2 - first one I have seen in the wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
