I do believe that I would need a nitro pill if that came up in my scoop! Great beach find for sure.

When I've hunted Galveston and Crystal Beach, all I've found was aluminum, clad, and fishing sinkers! Great score.
 
Fan Diamonds Tastic!
 
Dang: that's shiny

Totally agree with it being luck... I was thinking it's like winning a lottery. Had to be at the right beach, at the right time, hunting the right place to get it before anyone else did. I easily could have missed it. I've hunted several Galveston beaches and just clad and trash... it was my turn.
 
Beautiful ring! Question, was it dry sand, wet sand, or in between? I’m just curious about using the ATpro or a ATmax at the beach. I found some good stuff in the dry sand but it’s a little finicky in the wet. Again, excellent find!
