Hello everyone, I've recently gotten the beach hunting bug and grabbed a new Excal 2 about a month ago. Hunting some popular beaches on the FL gulf coast this is what I have managed for aprox 18hrs worth of hunt time. I have spent most of my time in the water knee to waist deep. The 14K childs ring was found in knee deep water and the silver/Platinum?? was found in waist to chest deep water. Thanks for looking.

Nice finds :icon_salut: Don't dismiss the the small gold as a "child's" ring. I found a ladies watch last month and when I showed it to the wife and told her it had to belong to someone with a REALLY small wrist she grabbed it from my hand slapped it on her own wrist and there was a lot of gap. So I guess my wife has REALLY REALLY small wrist. Course I don't usually look at her wrist. :tongue3:

950 is platinum. 925 is silver. You have done very well, and I don't think the yellow gold ring is a childs ring. to intricate of a design. Just a woman with a small finger. I have found engagement rings that will not fit on my pinky.

Thanks everyone! I hunt the Tampa Bay area. Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Sand Key, Indian Rocks Beach, Bellaire Beach, etc. I live in Clearwater so I am lucky to be surrounded by awesome beaches. The .950 ring was a real suprise to hear that it could be platinum. I have an acid test kit on the way to confirm or deny :)

SteveMc, anytime you wanna hook up for a hunt just let me know.
