First ring, few coins, plenty of junk ha!

[expl0rer]

I hunted a CA beach for a few hours this am. Found some fishing weights (supposedly good luck haha)

Found my first ring (still getting the hang of my CTX). I doubt it's anything special; it's really light and doesn't have any markings.



Looks like part of a necklace, also really light and probably junk.



Heavier than the junk aluminum but not sure what it is.



Misc. 1 quarter, 1 nickel, several pennies too corroded to date, 2 random chunks of copper



Had a blast! Gonna hit it again tomorrow!

The necklace piece looks more like a glasses lens that got snapped off to me, good finds

The ring might be titanium. Have found several over the years.

I never thought of that. How do you test them to know their titanium? Take it to a jeweler?

Thanks!

Congrats on the ring and hope you find some more. Maybe I will bump into you one of these days out there. HH

Thanks! Good luck to you as well!

If you ever do see me make sure to say hi! I don't see a ton of other detectorist out there; probably means i'm a newbie and not in the right spots haha.

Nice finds. Could be a stainless or a titanium ring.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to tell what it is. Google makes it sound like testing titanium is difficult. It might not even be worth the hassle haha

I realized that shortly after my post! Don't know why I didn't think of that hahah
