Big Galveston Gold + Diamonds

[Ed-D]

Found at one of the pocket beaches west of town using an AT Max and came in at mid-tone 55-58.

12.56 grams of 10K white gold with 10 1/10th carat diamonds (1 carat total weight). . I can't stop looking at it!

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!

Ajaj, Good question. I found this ring in pretty much dry sand... it was higher up on the beach a little past the high tide mark, but not completely in the super fine dry stuff. I've used both the AT Max and AT Pro at these beaches and in my opinion the AT Max ground balances way better in wet sand/in the water than the ATP. However, my ATP is one of the earlier serial numbers so maybe they improved firmware to handle wet sand better in the later production models... not sure. That's just my experience.
