Was up at my place in Montana past couple weeks so great fishing but no detecting lately. With Dave scoring all the white gold I joked with him I will deal with the yellow gold when I get back. Made it back to socal yesterday and this morning hit a local beach at low tide. Wet still beyond sanded in so hit the top lip and towel line. Was getting the usual never ending bottle caps and tent stakes (5 bottle caps for every coin ratio). Then after digging a huge jagged piece of iron and taking it up to the trash can walked back down and next target at towel line was a nice 18k and PLAT ring. It was over 10" deep so has been there a couple weeks with people stepping it deeper and deeper. I found the same exact model ring made by "DIANA" last December. This one size 10 and is 8.4 grams (last one size 7 and only 8grams ). Hope I keep finding these. Last one sold over $300 on ebay. This one has some bible verse inscribed in it but maybe that will help with the sale. It has been too long without gold so gold/plat is great way to get the summer back in full swing. Also found usual clad, junk jewelry toys and ecigerette. Was back home and working by 8am. Out of only four good ring finds for me at the beach (non silver) one has been full plat and two have been plat and 18k. only one full gold. Hope this streak continues. May see if I can get lucky again in the morning.

Thanks everyone. No more gold or platinum rest of the week. decent clad and some junk jewelry.

I was using my PI so no vdi #. Will pull out the AT pro and see what # it comes up. Always good to document a list of items.
