I still think i like relic hunting better but the beach hunting was fun and a lot less work. lol The funny thing is when i first found it because it wasn't marked and because of the size of the stone i just threw it in the bag with the rest of my finds and thought it was a fake. I'm glad i tested it. lol I was out on the beach really early the morning i found it and it was at the very end of my swing so i almost missed it. The coil hit a pile of sand and it popped out. I didn't even look at it at the time. I just stuck it in my pocket and kept on hunting. I didn't want to attract too much attention from other people on the beach. But i usually wait until i get home to inspect anything i find, even when i'm way out in the woods. Most times i don't even realize i've got something good until much later.

I thought when I first saw that ring it looked suspicious. Congrats, I'll bet the stone turns out to be a Honker.:icon_thumleft:

And i could get use to finding gold but there's just something exciting to me about digging up a relic that i am the first one to touch since it was lost over a century ago. I was just as excited to find the old tarnished brass wedding ring from a Civil War soldier as i was when i found this gold ring.
