I hit the water yesterday afternoon after work and recovered another couple of rings with my CTX 3030.
It was pretty sanded in but I scouted around and found a promising site with a few quarters and nickels so I ran my CTX 3030 pattern 2 for a little extra depth.
It was hard work as the surf picked up but it was worth it as you can see by these finds.
A heavy 14K ring with a 3/4 carat diamond was first up in the scoop, followed by a heavy Tiffany & Co Platinum wedding band. The PT950 ring retails for $2250.00 on the Tiffany website. I also found a very nice $150.00 pair of Rayban sunglasses.

Awesome! :icon_thumleft: And that seems to be the trick right now with all the sand....just gotta find someplace that offers up better odds, which you're obviously pretty good at doing.

Real nice finds Gary!
I was out yesterday too. Only plowed up a little 10k rings with diamond chips (along with a few heavy junk rings, fishing lead, etc...)
Seems that surf we've had, has moved some of that sand around. HH.

The water recently sure have produced some expensive sun glasses finds. Awesome finds with some good weight. You had a money maker day.

Sweet!! I found a platinum ring exactly like that when I was in Hawaii a few years ago. I took it into T&Co and they cleaned and polished it and put it in a nice little pouch for me. All for free.. 😊

Good advice, I will give it a try and see if they will buff it up for me.
Thanks Gary
