So I finally got the ring appraised and that 12 next to the PLAT was the size. The ring was valued at $5100! Too bad I wont get close to that when I sell it, lol. What a great feeling it was pulling that thing out of the surf. This hobby is so addicting. I can be up at 5:30 a.m. having my coffee with no plans to go detecting and then I will get on my iPad and just check the tides for the heck of it. Next thing you know I am out the door and on the beach swinging, lol. I do need to get a new beach scoop though. I bought one that didnt have a reinforced kicker brace. Just the one handle right to the scoop. Well 2 months in and it is falling apart. Live and learn.
