I decided to try the beach again, I was itching big time to get out..so I got there at 430pm, anyways, was dry sand hunting, as I still am having problems with the xt in wet sand.
Anyways, the beach was slowly starting to empty out, folks going home and or going to dinner.. well, I am picking up clad here n there, then I get a good solid hit, mid 30's bouncing but solid, so one inch down, I see a circle, I thought oh heck another metal bottle cap, well I scooped it up and it took every ounce of control for me not to do a happy dance in the sand, so I quickly put it away. NO ONE SAW ME recover it.. so here I am, with a beautiful heavy and I mean heavy sterling silver initial ring. I was so thrilled.. well, I sat down 30 min. after I found it to take a break, when here comes a teenager, asking me if I found a ring, I asked her what kinda ring ya looking for? She described it to a tee.. so I did what was right, I handed her the ring and said is this it? ( it had the initials she had said to me too on it) I was glad, but on the other hand, I was sad, as it was my first really good find on the beach.. and alls I got was a pix of it in her hands on my cell phone and I have no clue how to get it on here.. so thats my find for the day along with 1.71 in clad.

Even thought it feels so bad, it was so right, just think about if you had lost your ring and ran into an honest, upright, trustworthy MDer. You give us all a good name when we do something like this.
HH & BOL on you next hunt.

Re: First really good find with the xt70 beach find

THAT was cool :thumbsup:

I know what it's like to return (or in my case, donate) something you've found. . . after 2 or 3 days, you'll feel much better :wink:

Now, find some "generic" gold. . . like a $20 gold piece ;D

Take care,

You did good and you did the right thing. Besides there will be many many more that you will find that won't be claimed. HH
