Got out again on Wednesday morning for the low tide.....Met JSBSH member Matt B. to help him with his new excal II....Also ran into Dave T. and a couple of other guys detecting there too.....Beautiful day and the crowds were definitely out....wasn't burning the world down with targets.....majority of coins were pennies....I d...ecided to grid a shell line at the midtide line and managed to hear a light change in the threshhold....I went over it again and knew it was a deep signal....took 2 scoops and the second scoop ran my coil over the pile and got a real nice low smooth minelab baritone that can mean only one thing.....I was honestly thinking "junk"....I looked in the scoop and there it was....the edge of a silver colored band....I couldn't make out the stamp....thought it was white gold with diamonds....once home I saw the "PLAT" in the band....small but always nice to find....what a great day on the beach !!

Nice find :icon_salut: Do you think there was a matching band? It always dawns on me after the fact to look for the "other" part after I've left the area that I found a possible set or a pendant without a broken clasp. Once I get back to the house I think... Wholly crap, wheres the chain or the matching ring? Yet every time I find a coin in the water I automatically scan the area, because if there's one there is more than likely a second or third coin. Eventually I'll learn.

Congrats! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

Really NICE ring there!

Platinum doesn't require cleaning except washing the sand off with water.
