well since i had to sell my excal. i really havent been out, because i miss it...
now that I'm laid off (used to work for circuit city), I cant afford to replace my missing excal, so I am going to try to sell my air compressor and welder to try to pay for it... but I still have the old ace250, so I decided to make a new sand scoop (again money issues) and went for a quick hunt
was planning on making a long night of hunting but my friend I brought along got hungry.
hit the beach about 6:30 just as the sun went down and the full moon was rising (huge moon wish I had my camera!)
started at the kiddie pool area, I supposed I was doing the beach a favor as I only found a couple nails, and a thumbtack... yes in a kids area in the sand!
Only reward from that area was a new quarter, so I decided to hit the gulf side of the pass... couple bits of trash, and an penny here and there..
after about 45 min I hit a spot with signals all over, so got to digging... was a pocket spill of pennies... about 7 of em in total..
found that just on the top of the sand ridge before the wet sand and just finished telling my friend that its a good place to look because people sit on that ledge and things fall out of pockets, and people can put rings in their pocket for safe keeping only to sit in the sand and have em fall out..
Just after saying that I got another good signal and dug it up.. and what do you know, out comes a nice silver ring! CZ's go all around the end (being a silver ring I assume they are fake... also assuming its silver, mark is hard to read but looks like 925)
right after a morale boost find like that ring, she says she's hungry and wants to go... BAH! guess I'll have to hunt one night solo and hit the beach hard soon... well here's the pic of the ring..
if you can help make out the stamp, you can view the full size pic of the ring at http://www.guanu.net/ring/silverfull.jpg
so after 1 year of no detecting, the bug bit me again, so I'm back at it... thanks for viewing!

*edit* forgot to upload pics of my homemade scoop... aluminum handle (gotta add a grip) and thick 4" pvc and 146 holes on the barrel and a drain piece as the back.
