First the return.
Got out for about an hour after work, I was about waist high had a good signal dug it out and it was an aluminum plate about 2X8 inches with a couple of holes drilled, about 10 feet away found a similiar piece. Stuck them in my back pocket and detected around for a while. saw a neighbor a few docks over and started talking to him about the detector, I hadn't seen him since last year. He asked if the detector found aluminium and I said I had a nice collection of pull tabs and then I pulled out the pieces I found and ended up they were part of his dock steps. I found them probably 100 yards from his dock so they got moved around some since a storm last year. Nice to find out where some of the crap you find comes from.
Also found a pretty small older looking ring a little earlier by the shoreline. It looked pretty small I figured it was junk jewelry with decent size fake stone. Got home and saw it marked 10K and the stone fell out in pocket. I am hoping it is real, but not holding my breath. What's a good way to check on the stone? It looks pretty cloudy, also how to clean the gold as it s corroded, but looks like gold in setting part.
Thanks and Happy Hunting
