Hi:hello:,

Snow in the forecast for tomorrow so I thought I'd give it another round today at one of my favorite beaches.

Temp hovering around 35* ....pleasant and sunny out there with a bit of wind.

Found the small 14 K signet ring in the first hour of the 2 hr. hunt; about 5 " deep.

I think it is an older ring...small images of flowers on either side show wear.

This was followed by just a few clads and lots of aluminum.

Here's a couple of pics.

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

I guess with that weather you pretty much get the beach to yourself?

Keep up the great hunts.

Keep up the great hunts.

There were a couple of other detectorists out there; it's a popular beach.

When I hunt the less popular beaches, it's just me, the sand , the snow and the surf.8-)

Whydah, you might say I made a Lucky Strike when I found that Old Gold in the Kool weather today.:hello2:

Remember this one?: One fine Holiday Philip Morris, Pall Mall, and Kent( who lived in Marlboro, Ma) boarded a Camel to take a trip to Parliament. On their way they found some Old Gold...now wasn't that a Lucky Strike! :laughing7:

Lorraine, I have never heard that one before... but I must add to it just a little and say that Philip Morris, Pall Mall, and Kent picked up Virginia Slim on their way....LOLOL
