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 2 g1h.jpg 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

Nice finds! Those will sure knock a dent in paying for the CTX 3030.

Nice going on the double gold, nothing like getting the high tone when the grunting are the norm.

Awesome score, congrats. People have been known to symbolically drop or throw their wedding rings off of piers or bridges when getting out of a marriage. Hit that pier! Sub 8-)

You may have something there. It is not a pier but more of a waters edge Board walk at high tide. Next time I'm there I will snap a photo of where I found them (I was so excited I found them I spaced the picture, kicking self) There is a good 4 - 5 inch gap between the edge of the walk and the railing. I figured someone was sun bathing in the area and nudged them off the edge. Either way there has to be 18" of the softest siltiest sand right there at the edge. I don't think you could find a basketball if you dropped it.

The CTX is a MONSTER. (I do not recommend it to anyone that doesn't have a yardarm of patience.) But now that I am getting use to the multitude of sounds me hopes its not the last gold. It sure does go deeper than anything I have used and the elimination for certain metals really works and works well. I am anxious to travel with it and try it in CW country (a Dream) Im in Nashville next month if anyone wants to invite me? Would truly be awesome. I would be afraid to go try on my own as so much of the area is protected and I am allergic to cops

Cheers All for the Replies.
