finally got a chance to check out the lake beach at the state park close to my house...... hunted for about an hour or so before the park ranger told me MD wasnt allowed in the state park even though the lady I talked to on the phone said "only in the beach area"......oh well

anyway... first 2 hits i found pulltabs....3rd hit was the ladies class ring it does have initials in it so it shouldnt be too hard to find the owner the only other markings are "sp pat pend"....... and after a few clad signals i got a pretty good hit and i dug the scoop in the sand...rechecked the hole signal still there...dumped sand out of the scoop and checked it...signal there too.... found a quarter that was in the scoop and then dug the second signal and found the silver ring.... stone looks like onyx but i'm not sure....it is marked .925 and "an" dunno what that means.... well i'll hush now so you can look at the pics.

Awesome digs, congrats on your firsts.
Looks like these may both belong to the same person because they were in the same hole and possibly lost at the same time.
Maybe they will be your first retuned items too. That will be rewarding.

WTG!

Smiles!

booby... the rings werent in the same hole......they were about 30 feet apart...... the silver ring was in the same hole with a quarter lol

Nana.....it was getting dark and i had just called the kids in out of the water so we could go anyway...... BUT the point is..the lady told me i could, the he showed me the paper that said detecting is prohibited.....guess i will just have to talk to the manager or supervisor or whatever his title is lol

You shouldn't be detecting while the beach is open with swimmers in the water. I betcha that's why the Ranger had a problem with it. Best to go when the park is closed before swimmers get there. As one Ranger told me here, the beach is FOR SWIMMING. Detectors not allowed when there's swimmers in the water. Try it at sunrise.

A State Park with security guards? What kind of area is the park in?
Even the inner city beaches in Boston don't have any guards.
Is that typical down south?

OH, that explains it. The campgrounds here are the same way. The only way I can hit the Campgrounds is on the off season. Just wait til Fall. Sounds like a great spot to detect.
