My vacation started today, so I decided to do some night hunting, and I just came home from my trip to a small beach nearby that I haven't hunted before, and with the results I got, I believe nobody else have either...

First I checked the small shoreline with no signals, and then proceeded to the grassy area that most of the beach was covered with. And as soon as I got the coil of my Ace on the grass, I got a strong signal, and out popped the first coin of the night. Moved on, and with the third swing I got a another signal, stronger than the previous one. I pushed my little Fiskars Transplanter (Nyglass®) through the grass, and great, the handle broke off! What a nice start I thought, and continued digging with that broken piece, and found the first ring. That got me smiling again, and I went back to the car to get my backup digger.

Armed with my backup shovel, I started swinging the Ace again. I found a coin after another, and after another, till I dug up the second ring! I was like wow, it's gonna be a great hunt after all. I filled the hole, and with the first swing, I hit the third ring just next to the previous hole! OMG, I started shaking a little bit after that one.

After a while, and many coins later I hit ring #4, then #5 and 6. At that point I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or something. Then I dug the huge pendant! I was ready to call it a night at that point, but decided to carry on. Then, a few pulltabs later got an ear blasting signal, and unearthed the ring #7, checked the hole again, and out popped another, the #8!!! I couldn't believe my eyes anymore! And 10 minutes later I dug up the ring #9!

At that point I wasn't even freaked out anymore, but in a total shock! :o Got dirt in my eye, and my hands were shaking so much I had to call it a night. I was afraid to even look what I had found in fear that I would loose something with my shaky hands. :tard: I drove back home as fast as I could, took a quick photo of my finds and begun writing this. I haven't looked closer those things yet, but I'll post better pics of each one of them tomorrow, and let u guys know if they are real or not.

Also found my first token. It says Waterpark Serena on it. The pendant was my first also. This sure is gonna be one hard day to beat! :icon_king:

Re: 3 hours night hunting at beach = 9 rings!

Thank you guys! :D

I washed them with water a little, and checked them for any markings. Fife of them had .925 markings in them, but I'm pretty sure only one of the rings is junk. And no, none of them is gold. I'm yet to find my first. ::)

I'm only beginner in this, and I'm currently on my second set of batteries, and I have already found 3 silver rings before last night + huge amount of coins and of course a million pulltabs, random trash and some relics and stuff.

So, I guess I'm not doing so bad ;D

And better pictures will follow when I have time today to clean those rings better, and take some photos.

EDIT: Counted the coins. €7.20(thats $11.33) + some old markka coins :P
 
Re: 3 hours night hunting at beach = 9 rings!

You should have found one more to complete both hands! ;D ;D way to go on all those finds.. Keep it up. jgas

Ok. Here comes the close-ups:

Rings 2, 5 and 7 are probably junk, and I'm not quite sure about the pendant either...

Thanks for the closeups they are great. Show the rings better. Hope you find a bunch more. I went two months before I found one then several months before finding another one. I mention this so you will understand if you don't find another one for a year. LOL But at the beach you should do much better.


Good Hunting and God Bless

I might hit the beach again tonight. Let's see what I can find this time... :icon_pirat:
 
somebody needs to tell crackbadger to get on the stick!!!!!!!!
 
awesome evening. I'd check that pendant a little closer, could be hand made from old
 
WOW!! That is a heck of a year in rings for a lot of folks! You had a fantastic hunt, congrats.
 
Wow...you narrowly beat my record, Paul. My record is.....um......let me count.......uhhh.......one. ::)
