Got out on the lake for a couple quick hunts after a wind storm. Pretty good cuts to hunt on a couple beaches. Got the 1858 Seated Dime about 20' off shore about two scoops down on Saturday. Was a bit of a shock to see a coin minted before Idaho was a State come out. Some more clad that day, but no more old finds. Went back out on Sunday and the beach was a bust for old stuff. Hit a different later that morning and got the fist 14K White Gold band right in the cut, and nothing but clad and pull tabs after that. Headed to the next beach to hit the cut. This place is usually pretty slow, but has produced some nice old coins and jewelry. Was about halfway down the beach and got a 29-30 on the EQX 800. Was expecting a clad quarter, but saw the bright yellow in the scoop. Turned out to be a 96.5% yellow Gold wedding band! What a day! Two Gold....next signal was a solid 7 on the NOX....Gold number 3! 10K Woman's decorative ring. I've learned to dig every repeatable signal with this machine. I'm often disappointed, and sometimes surprised!
Thanks for looking.

The rings are great but finding a coin like that would be over the top. Gary
 

If that dime has a mint mark, that would be a nice bonus! :icon_thumleft:
 

I can't imagine finding that much gold. You have sure have some nice ground to sweep!
 

GOLD and SILVER! That's what it's about right there! TFS and HH
 

Very nice and congrats on the rings. So it pays to dig everything if gold sounds like just another clad or pull tab.
With the NOX, I dig it all. I've had two Gold rings come up like a pull tab and one exactly like a zinc Penny.

The Depositors were in the lake a good bit this year! Can't wait for the winter draw-down.

Always. I clean the beach of pull tabs every year and not zinc to be found either. :tongue3:
 

That seated dime is really nice! Congrats. Three gold rings in a day!!! Pretty amazing.
 

awesome work!!
