Took the Tiger Shark to a freshwater swimming hole today. Found that somebody had been there before me. This was an area that gets over 100 party going pontoon riding animals at a time on a nice summer day. Targets were far and few between and there were signs of someone else's scoop holes. Somebody before me did a fairly good job of cleaning the area up. This area should have been littered with bottle caps and was not. Found very little clad, but went deeper and found these three beauties. The left ring is a 14K gold. Middle is a Triton Titanium. Right ring is also a Titanium with no other marks. I just ordered an accurate pocket scale, but from my postal scale the gold ring appears to be in the 9-10 gram range. Yea baby, gotta love that Tiger Shark. Found all three rings within a half hour, but spent 3 hours on this spot. Clad total was less than $2.

Best part about it is I met some guys at the boat landing that told me some more old swimming hot spots. Like usual, when they ask what I found I just tell them clad and bottle caps. I am always leery of showing the goods to strangers, especially in an isolated area.

Nice saves there, is the middle ring marked titanium ? Unless the two rings on the right are lightweight, I would think they are Tungsten. That is usually the difference between titanium and tungsten.

Susan I see you own one too. For the money they are hard to beat. They seem to have a distinct tone on gold, different from coins. The batteries in these things seem to last forever also.
