Popular Post Compass Posted December 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 I know- gold is always a surprise but when I'm not finding many targets it is even more so. On my last hunt targets were few and far between- even junk was hard to come by. However, I stuck with the plan and at my 4th beach I had what I would call a fluke find in a patch of wet sand where I really wasn't expecting much. The ring has been re-sized and the markings were distorted in the process. When I first found it the back was clogged with sand and the stone looked black so I thought it was an onyx. When I rinsed the sand away I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful green color. Other than that I only found 2 quarters, a nickel, some zinc pennies and a little trash in about 3 hours of detecting. Hopefully, there will be a couple more golden surprises before the year ends. GL&HH! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuniagau Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Nice. I am always thinking "foil or nickel" and love it when I am pleasantly surprised by anything other than trash. That is one sweet looking piece of AU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okara gold Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Nice looking ring! I went to the beach once and the first target I dug was a gold ring. I thought ... Here we go!! After 3 hours I had one gold ring and one penny. You just never know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
