Short Beach Hunt On A Short Beach. Great Finds!

[F350Platinum]

Last night I got this very strong feeling that I should go hunt a local beach. Memorial Day weekend is over, and most people have left this area. There is a very small beach near me, it's only about 200 feet long but it's public. I was here last fall and cleaned out most of the junk.

Today started out pretty cool but it's going up in the 90s. I got out early hoping no one would be there, and no one was. 

Got out on the beach and almost immediately got a 13/14 on the Equinox (I didn't want to take time dressing up the Deus 2), and dug my first gold ring, this band with Roman numerals:

guess it's a custom date ring or something. I see them for sale for about $350.

I swung back over the hole, and got another 13/14, couldn't believe it. I dug a few more inches down (they were 6-8" deep) and got another one!

It's a 14k Keepsake, probably from Walmart. No matter, it's gold. Got a total of 5 grams:

Covered the whole beach, including the water to about knee deep. Saw some young jellyfish in there so I didn't venture out too far. Got a couple of toy cars, a Matchbox and a Hot Wheels.

Here's the trash:

I managed to wipe this place out in the 3 hours I was there. 😀 people started showing up so I left.

Settings: Beach 1 Sensitivity 24 on the dry, Beach 2 sensitivity 22 in the water. I found nothing in the water but the sinker and a rusty nail.

Follow your hunches, y'all... 🤣

There wasn't much beach to strike 🤣 I literally covered the whole thing in no time, the water was a little slower. I'd like to go out chest deep to look for rings but wasn't prepared for it. 😵 Got two anyway.

  So much for removing them, so they don't come off in the water😬!! Oh well, saved you from getting wet!! Nice job on the rings, and rechecking them holes!!👍👍

You knocked it out of the park...for a three-hour hunt! Awesome!!! 

And Yes, you need to get in the water there!

Thanks !

Yeah, chest deep would do it, probably find some stuff there. 🙂 Didn't find anything out to knee deep.

I've been detecting farms, fields and river, as well as beaches for 2 years now, I've found gold but had to test it. These are the first two gold hallmarked items I've ever found.

What are the Roman numerals?

It's a date commemorative ring, VI-VI-MMXX. 6-6-2020. Probably wedding date. Never seen this sort of ring before. 🤔 Either that or the Romans have invaded... 🤣
