Junk rings better than no rings

[gee_mg]

Went beach detecting again this afternoon during an ideal low tide and scored another junk ring not even worth posting a picture! (sticks to a magnet, lol)......sure would love to score another gold or silver ring. Still have not found a real diamond or any silver or gold chains! Does anybody else have problems digging some targets? One particular one i kept digging and digging and digging and for the life of me could not recover the target. I abandoned it! Hate the feeling of wondering what it was. I did score 5 or 6 quarters; though!

gee_mg,

I think at one time or another, we all have trouble digging up targets.

I've had to let many targets remain just because they were too deep, and too exhausting to dig further for.

The diamonds and chains will show up if you keep at it.

I wish you the best out there

I agree that target may have been a large chunk of metal maybe,,,deeper down. Probably not a ring lets hope Oh do you run a pin pointer. Now that I have a hand held pin-pointer ??I really hate to hunt with out it now, sad as that may seem
Good luck with your metal hunting.

While all rings aren't gold or silver they are still rarer to find than coins. I knew a hunter that was always way ahead of me in the ring count till I learned he counted the junk ones too. But you are really doing well if you are finding earring backs. With the amount of hunters sifting the sand now days we gotta go for the tiny things too to have fun. An who knows, the big one will come when we slow down while looking for that diamond stud.

I learned about the magnet in the scoop! That's already helped me 3 times last time I was at the beach!

Oh well!!! Here is the ring i found yesterday in the wet sand. I am still amazed that I keep getting rings regardless of what they are made of!

Targets seem to be in china sometimes and when that happens I just go on! There are plenty more and you will get use to this. Today I had a good signal that was ringing in well and as soon as I pulled the first bit of dirt and gravel out of the way it disappeared! I scanned all over the place but never found it! So, you will get both kinds. I think the ones that go away are just error on your part or either the target gets destroyed when you dig it and there is nothing left to make your detector respond.
