Picked up a vacation spot down on the texas coast so I had to try metal detecting. I got a new Excal II about 2 months ago and have hunted 4 times now. I've pulled LOTS of can slaw, pull tabs, a few bucks in clad (I've found several spots where I dig multiple coins...people seem to lose coins in clumps) but no jewelry so far. Yesterday I got my first ring...too bad it's just plated (and wearing off at that). Wonder what the base metal is?

Here are some shots:

I almost didn't think it was a piece of jewelry till I saw the hallmark...any clue what it is? I'm thinking it's just a maker's mark (the mark looks like "-KC"):

After the first 3 hunts I was beginning to doubt my purchase. I am getting a much better hang of the machine after about 15 total hours (I definitly think I know the sound of aluminum >:( however, I still dig every hit).

Congs on your first ring. I got my Ecal last year and I am still learning it. Last year I got 37 rings with it and 14 of them was gold. So far this year I have only found 5 rings, 2 are gold other junk kids rings. So good luck. I always say if you are not finding it you have not put the coil over it yet.....Happy hunting.......Matt
