Santa Monica Beach today

Low tide at 5:50am. Even though it was a nice low tide the conditions weren't very good. Targets were few and far in between. It was so bad I even started digging iron hits just so I could dig something. After about two hours I went up and started working the dry sand. First good target was the tiny silver ring and then the gold band (got the usual clad too). To bad its a cheap gold ring. Shows 14k F6 or FG. Very light (3 grams). It still looked good in the bottom of the scoop and its better than getting skunked

The stud really sparkled in the sun. Looks great but its junk too. At least it was a beautiful day to detect.

Been there, done that - location does not matter
Some things like boredome never change.
A detectorists has to realize why he or she is there.

After four hours of not even one good tone, I gave up and started digging rusty bobby pins for amusement. If i would of stuck to my knitting, err detecting, I would of found a nice 14 K white gold wedding ring instead of my partner as it was a few feet away from my one find for the day (Argh)!

Thought about keeping that rusty bobby pin in my tropy case as a reminder of what not to do.Instead, I chickened out and tossed tossed it in the trash can (too much pain)!

Congrats on the finds!!
Thanx for sharing

Wow, thanks for sharing... I would have thought that meant "Filled Gold." Glad to know it's not, for when I find one like that!

well done!

GF means gold filled. Nice score on the ring! Hey 20grams or 3grams..its gold and it adds up quick. Paid for your gas at least.

If you don't want that gold ring, I'll gladly take it off your hands!
