What a great day yesterday, went to three resort beaches, finally found a small 6 gram 900 pt with a small yellow diamond chip inside the band at the last one. I didn't know they put stones inside rings. This is a first for me. Well I was pretty happy with my single ring and was pretty worn out so I headed back and got to the first lagoon again and as I usually do I work my way through not expecting anything but you never know. I was just about to walk out of the water when these three little girls playing in the wet sand asked me if I was metal detecting. I said yes and walked out and about five feet from these kids I get a signal, I figured maybe a quarter or something, I lift the scoop shake the sand out and there is a silver ring, I showed it to the girls because they asked what I found and I walked back to my car got out the readers and saw that it was a 950 Pt and it weighed in at 12.9 grams. It really made my day. Two plats in one day is awesome. I only had two little bands last year. This year is starting out really great. I like winter time, I think the tourists have more money and lose more valuable jewelry than the summer. Thanks for reading IMG_0029.JPG

Two plat day...that doesnt happen every day...congrats. I found a steel ring with a stone on the inside last summer. In some cultures it is good luck to have the stone touch your finger. IMG_0206.JPG

Very nice! 2 Plats in one day! 2 more and you'll have found more plat rings than I did for the entire 2012 season.

lookindown is right. In some cultures the stone has to touch your flesh. I'm thinking most Hindu cultures. Keep it up!

tnt, I think you are the one that gave me the tip on why the stone was on the inside.

Thanks for that tidbit, I know the japanese do like their platinum too. And the yellow diamond did test positive by the way.

I was using the excal ll, I wasn't paying attention to the sound so much, usually plat will be a very low growl even lower than gold
