Popular Post Compass Posted July 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2023 Some of you may remember a post from me about a ring return earlier this year. The ring was a massive class ring from Texas A&M - by far the biggest gold ring I have ever found at 28.8 grams! I found the ring during low tide on a cold, wet and dark morning with my TDI Beachhunter in "ground balance" mode and I recall the tone being "low" in pitch indicating a high conductor. Most high conductor targets during this target-rich hunt were clad quarters, dimes and copper pennies and I was skipping most of them to increase my chances of finding gold targets up to about 10 grams. However, low on the slope I usually dig it all hoping to find silver rings and larger gold items. Recently, I received a small box in the mail and I thought that maybe it was a new control box for my water damaged Equinox 800 (wishful thinking!). However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a bottle of fine wine from a grateful Aggie with a nice message inside. The sentiment was much appreciated but the experience of making such an awesome find was priceless and will remain one my best detecting memories. 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Glad to hear about this nice ending. You will want a nice steak and potato dinner to go with it, maybe a side salad with a good dressing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the flooded Nox.😧 Yes, the flooded Nox was a big disappointment. Minelab Repair responded quickly but said that they are awaiting a shipment of new control boxes. I am past warranty so I don't have a great feeling about the cost to replace the box but we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuniagau Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Compass, I got a warm fuzzy this morning from your post on your returned Texas A&M College ring and surprise token of appreciation. It sent me back to my find and return of a Texas A&M College ring that I dug on a Laguna Beach beach on July 15 2022. I received a token of appreciation and a full page handwritten letter (suitable for framing, I might add) from the ring's owner. The token was muchly appreciated but the feeling of doing the right thing is something that jazzes me up every time I think about it and hear stories of returns like yours. I had to reread my letter again today. LOL As the ole cartoon says, "You're a good man, Charlie Brown"! Joe (Cuniagau) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
