No Sleep for me LOST GOLD off the end of my scoop!
Made my way down the beach area yesterday morning. After not being able to sleep the night before and this is why.... On one of my last targets out at neck deep water from the day before, I got a signal that made me dig for about 15 minutes... it was deep... After stiring up the mud, and not being able to see to begin with... the water clarity was zero. I did manage to get the target in the scoop, or at least on the tip of it, made a dash for it, and it slipped away off the edge into the depths... Forever lost? I searched another 15 minutes and couldn't find it... I knew it was a ring, and I knew it was gold.... Man was I beside myself... I work to hard to find that kind of stuff... I just couldn't let it go... All night long, I pondered over it... sulking like a baby, I gathered my thoughts, and said I'm going to get it no matter what....took off bright and early and waited for the rite tide.. I was early and you can see why... I just needed to get it clipped onto my ring clip... Out into the water I went found a couple sinkers, a few coins and just as the tide was low enough I was where I was the day before. BANK a signal out deep and I looked down and rite on top was a nice Gold ring, didn't even have to dig... I knew it was what slipped off my scoop a day before... Thank You to the Gold Gods... Now I can sleep tonight...I had a few more bullets, and some Kast Masters... One small ear ring stud that was sterling silver, and about half way in another Gold Ring with the stone missing this time... I am on an Emerald streak.... It was close to the other one I found the other day... wonder if they both were lost by the same person... ?

Interesting post, Whydah!
Glad you recovered the gold ring; I lost a gold medallion last week..it slipped out of my hand as I was putting it in the pouch....but didn't realize it until I got to the car...by then, the tide had come back to shore...Bye, bye medallion! :>(

I guess it happens to all of us at one time or another... Lost a Mercury dime a few weeks agao... thought I put it into my pouch, got home and never located it... It was very rough water, but still no excuse... Thats why I use a clip for my rings, after recovering them I clip them on so as to not lose them... I use it on land also...

Nice one. Persistence paid off.
(1) Gold Ring
(1) Silver Ring
(0) Silver coins
People who bury pull tabs should be flogged
Good Luck Detecting!!

I thinks I would have been ticked off also and gone back! You were lucky. Does your detector have a gps on it?

Awesome ! I allways say, "Patience and Persistance"
I have been lucky enough to not loose any rings yet (except the ones that somehow made it onto my wifes fingers!)
I'm sure I will loose one some day.
The one's I can't wait to find are the two rings my detecting partners insist on wearing when detecting and diving. (wedding bands)
I tell them over and over to take them off before hunting but they insist on not doing so!
I can't wait for the day I scoop them up and they beg for them back! They will be in the dog house for a long time !
