Great recovery, they will tell this story for many years to come.

I like the ring. Win win situation, kids got to swim and you got to hunt.

Welcome to the forum, you will find a lot of trash. The treasure is there you just need to get your coil over it.

When I get tired I dig less targets in the foil range. Probably have missed a few good targets. I primarily hunt wet sand or in the water up to my chest. Some places I hunt there is a lot of foil in the water, in that situation I move to out deeper. I found a 14k pendant the other day and it rang up a solid 6 in the wet. 

I got rid of my 6 inch coil after I used my 10x5 , better coverage and I find the separation is very good and in trashy parks. I’ve not used it at the beach as I prefer the 15 inch due to the amount of coverage.

Gosh, she is hot!!! 

Wish I could have returned that one in person

Just an update, I finally made contact with the lady that lost the class ring and was able to return it to her.

That’s a great way to start the week.

I’ve watched both videos bashing the manticore, while I generally enjoy his videos he’s starting to lose his credibility. I’ve noticed that in the beginning of his videos he’s pushing people to give him likes. Likes increase revenue and having click bait titles increases traffic.

my first thought when he was using all terrain was of corse it’s going to miss low number gold, that’s what happens when you notch out low numbers.

Very nice gold ring, it makes it worth digging all the trash

Good karma, nice recovery

Sorry posted the wrong picture with the clad and being a newbie a can’t edit a post as of yet. But my clad was 4 quarters 5 dimes 2 nickels and 10 pennies

That’s a lot of coins, the salt water sure turns them crusty. I’ve never found any silver coins that weren’t either black or dark grey at the beach.

It’s a small bracelet, it’s brass

Nice hunt, the small wire ring is unique

I purchased one a few years ago, it stopped working after about 6 months. They told me to send it in for warranty repairs but I procrastinated and never sent it in. I made one myself and have been using it ever since. I believe the one I made works better.

Welcome Dave,👋

   Yeah, Steve, the administrator/owner, just put that in place, as we were getting alot of spammers hitting the site! Keep posting and you will be editing like the rest of us soon enough!😂

 Great finds, and welcome to the forum!!🍀👍👍

BTW, I've noticed that before with rings, corrosion will get in between the stone and setting, and when disturbed, the stone or stones can drop out! Also when digging!👍

   You have a very familiar detecting name!!🤔😁

My name is really common, I’ve had police show up at work with warrants, fortunately I wasn’t the person they were looking for. I’m definitely not an engineer by trade, spent most of career as a parts manager at a marine dealership.

I see I can’t edit a post till I have 10 posts and been a member for 30 days

Around where the stone was says kinder, one the side from what I could make out it looks like it says merito. 
how do edit a post? I didn’t see anything 

I forgot add that I had one 925 earring

Four hour beach hunt yesterday, water was still a little cool so I wore my hip boots. Couldn’t get out much deeper than mid thigh but it was good enough. Silver count was 1 ring, 1 earring and 1 1950 gw quarter. I also had 2 junk rings and a small amount of clad. 
I did electrolysis on the silver and then tumbled it. Not sure where the stone in the ring went to, I think it fell out while is was rinsing it.
the bad weather we’ve had recently stirred up a lot of trash but it also moved some good targets. I’m going back tomorrow morning to give it another go.

New member here from south mississippi. I’ve been detecting going on five years now. I just recently retired and spend most of my time hunting at the beach or local parks. Looking forward to learning from other members here and sharing stories and pictures of finds.
