5th of July. Crowded beach the day before and many people out this day. I found my most rings ever in a single hunt (7 hours). I followed the tide out. Also found about $4 in clad and lots of junk. Only 1 tiny 0.9g 10k gold ring. 1 stainless steel, 1 Titaniem, 1 junk (marked 14k ) with lots of fake ice, and 2 silver (one a spoon handle ring and one a woven band).
Lots of exercise, lots of excitement. A good day but not much gold.. The junk ring looked good in the scoop at first glance, except for the copper showing through. It had the right mark (14k) but looks like 9.5g of junk. I tested it and it showed up as 10k by my acid test kit. I said to myself, I wonder if it is pladium plated rose gold so I tested a piece of copper wire scratch on the stone and it too showed up as 10k. Bottom line, it looks like junk to me. Has anyone else tested copper and found it to show up as 10k or is my test kit off? Hope all your hunts are golden.
