Short Run At The Beach And Snagged A Ring

Recommended Posts

Storm Larry did a good job messing up the beaches here, created a ton of useless wash so detecting wasn't easy. Lots of lobster traps washed up and tons of bits from them so I was glad I didn't bring my PI. Was going to use the Apex but realized I have one of Steve G's custom shafts on it and didn't want to trash the clip on it so I took the Multi Kruzer.

Most the hunting done in gen mode with manual ground balance at 14khz. Hard to miss a target that way and not a huge fan of beach mode on that machine. Little bit of pocket change and on the way back I hit the towel line and caught a glimmer of something sticking out of the sand as I swung the coil over and saw the id's hit in the alum range. Didn't even bother to let the numbers lock as I snatched it up with the sand scoop. My buddy had his Apex and seems they both hit targets at similar depths if anyone cares. Stock Viper and Nel Superfly. The Kruzer has the all metal audio which is easier to follow for fringe and tiny targets.

Nice ring, kac. I'd sure hate to step on that horn looking thing. Did the ring have a hallmark?

No hallmark but tested at 10k. Lot of pieces of lobster traps, if they are shallow I usually just scoop them up so people don't step on them and more importantly so dogs dont step on them :)

My gold test kit is on the way. 🙂 Got some stuff without marks to check. 👍

Finding a lot more jewelry has no marks now, my guess there are many home grown makers with the prices of 3d printers coming down and casting houses that will cast your 3d model for you. Test kits give you a good idea what the metal is.
