Erik Oostra Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Got a great run happening this week with a ring every day so far.. The first one was a call-out from a footy player who lost his ring on the oval.. Got a $50 reward for finding it, took about an hour.. Ever try gridding a football oval? It takes a long time to cover.. The other two rings were at a spot where a huge load of sand had been washed away during a very high tide.. They must have been too deep to pick up before but here they were in the top layer of the washout.. I'm getting better at spotting likely locations, it's no longer the hit and miss affair it was years ago.. I'm slowly developing a 'Geosense' as to where rings are likely to be deposited along different parts of a beach.. It's no longer all about luck, experience is starting to play a bigger role..

CPT_GhostLight Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Way to go, Erik, congrats on the awesome rings! Luck is great, but experience is more consistent. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King-Of-Bling Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Great hunt. Last ring looks like platinum down the middle. You can have all the experience in the world , but if the cut or conditions aren't there , none of it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Congrats on the finds, I know that I sometimes give you a hard time, but that is only because you are in a great place. I have seen your on the forum for over a year now and I can see how much you have grown as far as detecting. I believe that if it is there you are going to find it. Good luck on your next hunt and stay safe out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the ring's number and it turns out to be white gold.. It was made by a jeweller in Tasmania.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
