I went out to the beach to use my Garrett 250 yesterday. This was the first time that I had ever tried this hobby. I have been watching people do this for years and wanted to try it.

This first time experience was amazing. I spent about an hour and a half walking down the beach. I found a few fishing sinkers and 13 cents in change. My best find of the day was a men's stamped 14K gold ring with what appears to be 3 diamond chips.

This was an amazing find for my first experience. The only problem is that I probably set the bar high for any

future detecting adventures.

I have a very demanding job during the week. I found this a great way to decompress on the weekends. I can't wait for my next experience.

What a great start. Get a bucket & save those lead fishing weights, about .50 a pound. Good luck.
