A Few Trips And Finally Gold!

[mn90403]

I've been going out irregularly over the last week or so.  There has not been much to show and tell.  Cheap rings and a few coins until today.

Based upon the tide schedule I've been getting up before the sunrise and getting back early.  Getting up that early doesn't mean you are the first detectorist to the beach.  I took advantage of my senior parking pass and was out and going in a northerly direction which was 'behind' someone digging deep holes.  They were leaving them open.  I knew I would catch up with them and I would be screaming at them so I turned in the other direction.

I found a nickel.  Long walking without targets later I found a penny.  There was no pattern, waves had been small so there was just a small muddy catch area.  I was headed towards an all night beach where I'd found rings in the past but I've found rings all over these beaches by now.  I got a nice loud signal, a 19 and just about 1" down.  I thought it was a cheap ring and just put it away.  

I put it in my pouch and walked a few feet before I saw something I had to deal with but that will be a separate post.  After I finished dealing with that glass I was wondering if I would find anything good, the good karma effect but it was only two quarter.

It did turn out good when I got home and I could see .825 on the ring and it was gold.  Google told me .825 means it is 19k!  It is only 2.2 g but a nice little ring.

Here were some previous trips.
