My wife enjoyed the beach over the weekend. She didn't mind if I hunted ever chance I got. She even followed some.

Recently put a 12 x 10 coil on excal, since my 10" developed short in cable. Jury still out on setup, not sure if it's the coil or machine it really seemed unstable. Sometimes it was steady, doing some test to determine the problem. Noticed it really got bad, after I had a little more than 10 hours on battery, and wave action was picking up.
However, did manged to find three rings. One tungsten, one 14k and another that was deep, feels heavy and color is nice. But missing stone and it has juicy on inside. I'll have to test, probably not but fingers crossed. Found the normal stuff as well.

We had a great time and hope to do it again.

Nice finds, always good when the wife approves. The 14k is sweet, the Tungsten is all too common a find these days and the Juicy is most likely not going to amount to much...... I've found two and both were costume. Google "Juicy Couture"

Nice hunt, congrats on the finds. I know where I have been hunting on the gulf coast has been badly sanded in... even out neck deep the bottom feels like slush. I search an entire mile of beach, with a variable coast line. The best area with hardest ground (shells in one scoop) still turned up bottle caps.

I did find a steak knife and a pair of sunglasses :|

It's been a tough month... glad you scored! Well done sir.
