Two rings and clad 3 different hunts. The Gold ring is 11g I found it past the neck line. I built a DIY weight belt using all the heavy deep water sinkers I found total 5 Lbs. I had a hiking belt with 2 pockets I wrapped the sinkers in grocery bags and shoved then in the pockets. All the extra weight allowed me to go past the neck line with a snorkel I had the gold ring in less than 5 minutes thinking outside the box paid off. Sand shark gets credit for this one the XP watertight bag isnt and it was out for repairs. The silver ring is in a hunted out area between Gary Drayton and Clive James Clynick I've learned sometimes you have to ask where would the other hunters not go and hit those spots. the greenies are from and interesting spot. It is a location with a lot of weekend water activity but not a spot where you would see a director. Awesome right? Not so much. Not shown are the 25 pull tabs. Every swing was a target. It has hard black sand and tons of trash. I am going to have a better strategy next time I hit an area that has not been detected just trying to cover as much ground as you can yields the bag of garbage you see.

Love it when the clad is green. Because that shows you're in a strata of targets that've been there a long-while . As opposed to recent losses. However, the presence of a lot of light-weight aluminum doesn't bode well. If you're in an area of beach that's subject to erosion/sand-movement, then this tells you mother nature has not moved out the light stuff. Hard to argue with gold though, Doh! :)
