SO Today I had another minute to plat with the CTX. I it a little monster to learn but I think I am getting the hang of it finally and have something to show for it today. Was working with a clean up the beaches crew and found the misc Fishing lure couple of iron nails and loads of pop tabs. The girls were giddy everytime I had something to put in the trash.
I was not having much luck on the keepers though. Thought the beach was overworked. I found a 91 Washington clad and a Penny that had tumbled in the surf so much that I thought I had a dime. Can barely make out lincoln and the memorial forget about a date.
The CTX has an undeniable Iron grunt so grunt grunt grunt all day. I worked up to the boardwalk that has Iron pylons (the surf comes into here at high tide) and every Pylon was grunting and maxing out the ctx everytime I got to near. The third Pylon in I get a grunt followed by a High squeal then grunt grunt grunt squeal.
Sooo I pull out my new Garrett pinpointer and work away from the pylon. I got nothing. I star t pushing the pinpointer into the ground and sure as shinola I get a ping about 8" down. I dust off the top 5" of sand and get my sifter in and out pops not 1 But T doubleU 2 Gold Rings! One with real .03 Diamonds 4x the grins
They look like they were dropped yesterday. I only rinsed them when I got home for the photo shoot. Both rings are exactly the same size so someone did a toofer in the sand. My very first dug gold so I had to post it.
Cheers All
