Well, they were within a 7-8" of each other. Had less than a dollar in clad and wasn't getting many signals I was swinging towards the rest of my gear and was ready
to call it a night, when Bam! i get a nice sounding hit and 2 scoops later I get the crucifix. Now I'm thinking the necklace must be close so i swing coil over the dug hole and
wham, another good signal a gold wedding band with stones. I continued to search for the necklace but no luck.

5 Min's latter I find the .925 ring with stones. It turned out to be a great evening and my best beach hunt to date and I thought the beach was cleaned out.

HH,Epi

One often reads about these super finds on the way back to the truck and I never turn the machine off before I'm almost there. But for me it's actually allways exactly the opposite: I get the best finds of the day within the first 5 - 10 minutes. Normally I find immediately what I just spent for the parking for the full day and I get kind of euphoric but after the first 15 min it often is over and I don't find anything for an hour or two. You got a fantastic find there, congratulations!

one reason that so many finds are made on the way back to the truck may be that this is the way ON to the beach, always a good place to search. HH
