Nah....I'll stick with my relaxed retirement. Once or twice a week for 5 hours during fresh drop season is where I'm hangin'!

Hurry up and get it while it's on sale for $500 off. ($1300) If you call the detector dealers they may even give you a better price.

Looks like hard work digging in that stuff! You were rewarded for your effort. Good work. 👍

Nice pile of loot! Ain't it grand? A hobby that pays......

You can't beat a two for one deal. Nice finds in good shape....

That is an AWESOME find! Most 22/24kt gold is Asian I believe. I used to watch the Jewelry TV Channel and they always had oriental gold pieces in 24k for sale. The necklace and bracelet clasps are just a piece of 24k round bar that you bend closed or unbend to open since it is so soft. Wish I had bought some back then! (late 90's) I have found a 22kt pendant, but no 24kt. Congrats.....

Great write-up Bob. No gold, but you still had fun. On the nickels, I dig 28-27-26 and it's usually a nickel, once in a while a tab sneaks down there in that range.

I'm a beach guy, but I'm sure some relic guys will chime in here with some help. If not, try asking in the relic subforum where there is a bit more traffic.

You're ring-to-trash ratio is fantastic! Not bad for 2.5 hours, I'd go back where you found those and keep walking till you find the next hot spot.

Silver to save the hunt! Ring could be used as brass knuckles.....

Good idea! Think I'll start doing that before mine explodes too far. 👍

Great haul! That'll put a smile on your face. I would test the gemstone ring and the other thin gold ring. If they came out clean with no corrosion, there's a chance they're real.

Don't forget the sand scoop.....CKG makes a reasonable titanium that's light. Link

Sounds like you need to get her interested in water hunting at a beach this summer. That's where the rings are. She's a natural!

Really nice! Big ring is a bit gaudy looking but you're probably not going to wear it yourself anyway. Some women are into the look and wear 3 or 4 of those big silvers on the same hand. Those two would have made my day. I hunt the dry about 3 months out of the year when the water is too cold. Gotta get my swing fix in.
