I can't believe that I got another ring. It still amazes me that people lose these items! And I can't believe another detectorist did not get it first! Something even funnier is I found more clad in the wet sand than the dry sand. The ring inside is labeled as follows:

TRITON
TUNGSTEN CARBIDE
TC.850 (not sure what that means)???
Pat. No 7.761.996

Still can' believe it!!!

Still new to metal detecting and that is exactly what i have heard! Does this require going into the surf during low tide or will they also be found in the wet sand? I really dont like going into the water any more than a foot deep. Plus the water is difficult to work with the tide here on the west coast!

just wish they all could be gold or platinum

Congrats on another ring find!

Treasures are to be found most anywhere at the beaches; I like to go out onto the "muddy flats" at low tide; and also about a foot deep after that( afraid of deep water); also the wet sand slope works well for me...and of course those rocky areas where the treasures get caught in between rocks and seaweed.

Good luck...you're on a roll now.

Goes to show.....
It's never totally found. How many guys worked right over it? Could it have been droped recently? or maybe worked its way up with a big storm?
So many questions raised and it makes you put the thinking cap on full force. That's the fun of this game.
Nice ring.
Get some more.
