Damn costume jewelry

[Dadhumanizer]

So I am at the beach and get a solid 10 on my nox 600 and it is deep. You know the feeling when you know something is about to happen? I knew it was jewelry before I looked in the scoop. And there it was small gold ring with a heart on it. I said FINALLY (yeah I know I have only been doing this for a couple of weeks.) So while looking for a mark I see some of the gold plating is wearing off. Damn! Costume! Oh well... There is hope...

Tooo many times to count lol

Had one about a year ago. Rang up 12-08 on my CTX. Got it out of the sand and I nearly had a heart attack. Looked like one of those 1/2 oz 22k gold bars that get hung on those big gold rope necklaces. Nope, plated fake!

That’s treasure hunting. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.

Better than a pull tab. What that means is you’re about to find real gold soon. That’s the way I look at it...the universe is bringing you closer to it.

We’ve all had days like that. Good luck next time.

The good thing is you are spending a lot of time hunting. That alone increases your chances, good work!

 

[smokeythecat]

Been there done that too. Lots.

Well, just tell yourself you are doing it right if you are finding rings. Might try a more upscale beach.

Congratulations on your first ring!

Kind of like this one that popped out on me this weekend.... one of these times it will all pay off lol. Good luck and happy hunting... on a side note the ground could be frozen [emoji23]

Know that feeling... I save it for some reason hoping one day I'll have enough to recover a few grams. I find enough of it....

Not to worry, your in good company...we all have had that experience!

I never get to the beach as I'm landlocked but even dirt fishing, the same thing is common. In 2018 I found one gold ring and one silver ring. (silver total is really low for me this time!) I bet I've got over a pound of junk jewelry for 2018...
