Thursday I went to a beach north of us with my hunting buddy, Ken. 2 other hunters were out in the water when we arrived, not very friendly folk. Ken was the first to hit gold, a nice 6.1gr. 14kt. band. He then got a tungsten band to add to his collection along with several coins. I got several signals and dug 2 very crusted silver rings that were super deep. I then got a very deep signal which started to sound like a pull tab but as I went deeper the tone started changing to a low mellow sound. Dug a nice 3.1gr. 14kt.gold ladies ring with a small diamond.

Here are the photos of the silver rings before and after cleaning.


Last photo is from Tuesday, I had a stainless day with 2 men's rings, one which says AC/DC.

Gold with ice! And two old silver that cleaned up so nice. Congrats again Les! You are one of the best. What method do you use to clean up your silver? It is better than I could imagine.

I like the ladies ring with diamond. The two colors of gold go nice together. It looks high quality with little wear. I wonder if it isn't the wedding band and there is a much larger engagement ring still out there waiting.... Nice hunt..

Isn't a wedding band but it looks like it was not worn long when lost. my wife likes it because it is a contemporary design.

Good for you.
I go to some exclusive areas to hunt
and feel the chill. "Shouldn't you go to Waikiki"?
Is a common comment. Oh well, as long as its
not against the law I'm free to hunt when and where
I like.

Ken got the dollar bet. He is starting to get real hot with his new 3030. He is hitting gold a lot!
