I don't post much anymore because I don't get out detecting as much as I used to, but I finally took a long overdue vacation down the Jersey Shore. I took 3 detectors that I thought were most suited for the beach, a Minelab Excalibur, and both the White's Dual Field PI and MX Sport. I used the Excalibur for a good part of the week finding usual bottlecaps, junk rings, one diamond stud earring and plenty of coins (including a few older pennies in remarkable shape for beach finds) but didn't have the charger so when the battery was drained I moved over to the MX Sport.

I had never used the single frequency Sport on the beach, but I was surprised how well it handled the beach, even the wet beach! I was getting signals as deep as 8 or 9 inches in the dry sand. The rose gold ring came in at a nickel tone and was an awesome surprise, but when I got a very jumpy signal at around 7 inches, I was thinking Bud Ice bottlecap. When I saw gold it put a huge smile on my face, but when I saw the 1915 gold coin I was super pleased to say the least!. It's a 1 ducat from Austria

So, can someone explain this to me... why do some gold coins and gold coin jewelry make it up as banner, and others are ignored?

I think it's very subjective. I don't post much in here anymore, so I don't have the clout that some other users have. I don't blame the admins. They also don't favor beach finds so much anymore, just artifacts. Just my opinion.

Wow!
I missed this one also .
Sorry 'I try to say something on every find so I don't ever get far down the Today's finds .

Saw the Ring & thought I clicked on the wrong 'banner' does it have real Ice?

The coin ring is super cool.

I just threw in an official vote. This is a gold coin and any form of gold coin makes it to the top whether it’s a “coin coin” or a jewelry coin.

Thanks for the vote. I guess you were right! Let me know when you're down this way again!
