So I've been wanting to post my finds for sometime and have finally taken pictures to do it. I've enjoyed everyone's posts over the last 6 months! So I'm finally giving back a little. I purchased my Tesoro Tigershark back in December and used it consistently for about three months. Work and travel since then has kept me from using it as often as I'd like. The evening my detector had arrived I pulled it out of the box, read all the instructions (amazingly I did read them), felt like I was ready to go, and headed to the beach near where I live. Arrived at 1 am and left at about 3 am, very cold. It was the middle of the winter, about 40 degrees out. Coveralls do wonders though. I managed to come up with a ring but thats all I knew, it was too dark to see anything else about it. The ring turned about to be the 10kt gold ring with the little heart on it. My mother quickly noticed how well it fit her and has taken permanent possession of it. Here is all the silver and gold I've come up with!

A little more about what I've found.

The silver ring with the garnet was so corroded that it was holding the stone in place. When I started to clean it, the stone fell right out. It's a wonder I didn't lose it before I made it home.

The large silver ring is a mens wedding ring with Hebrew inscription on it. The writing says "Whitherst thou goest..." out of the book of Ruth.

The other silver ring is another mens wedding band. Writing on the interior says, "With all my heart, Katie." I'm sure Katie was plenty mad when this one came up missing.

The heart necklace is made of rubies and diamonds in a 10kt gold setting with a 14kt gold chain.

Also in the picture of everything is a set of gold earrings. I found these a month apart in the same general area!

Other gold consists of: 14kt catholic heart charm, 10kt mens wedding ring, 10kt white gold earring, 3 other 10kt gold earrings, a 10kt gold heart ring missing a stone, and a 14kt gold toe ring!

I don't know what's more amazing, your finds or the fact that you metal detect at night and in the water!!!
You are a credit to the metal detecting community!

Keep cleaning up the beaches of their jewelry, someone has to do it. :wink:

Very nice finds! Yeah the Tesoro Tigershark kicks butt! I bought it because a buddy of mine on T-Net (JuJu) Bought it and was hunting the waters of our state. Well anyways he has gotten so much gold and the first hunt I went with him I got a 14k mens wedding band. Anyways I am sure that the Tesoro Tigershark is great for anyone who is willing to go into the water and get the finds! Congratulations! :)
