Holy CRAP!!!!! I got my HOLY GRAIL.......

[biggmike]

Went to a local beach yesterday with Lookindown and found the Holy Grail.... Well my Holy Grail anyways About 5 hours in and many coins and an earing later, I heard a really deep tone that sounded good but after the 3rd or 4th scoop I figured maybe another bottom of a can or such but it pinpointed very tight still so I kept at it. When I scooped and there was no sound in the hole I checked the scoop and didn't know what I had. I thought "Please be white gold or at least silver" I looked at the inside of the ring and saw 950 and thought "no way" I eased it around and saw those beautiful four letters... PLAT







This is only my second Platinum ring and it made my day, my week, hell it made my YEAR Lookindown has this uncanny ability to tell what something weighs and I guessed about 9.1 grams and he guessed 11.2. I guess you can tell who was right yet again. We ended up getting a couple Tungsten rings






These things are heavy. I wish they were worth something We also got a 15 gram .925 necklace along with a silver earring and a junk bracelet. We picked up about 60-70 coins along the way. Can't wait to get back on Saturday.... I will let you know how it goes.

Very nice find with the Platinum. Even though right now gold is higher, there are fewer plats out there than gold just for the simple fact that plat has generally been more expensive so it's an awesome find for sure.

Frederick Goldman is a MAJOR jewlery manufacturer so there are a lot! of FGs out there.

Personally I would prefer to find a tungsten than a silver. They have greater resale value on ebay & craigslist. A 14 gram tungsten will bring in more than 14 grams of silver. This is just my opinion. I do love to see silver but when it comes down to the almighty "God bless America's Dollar" I'll go with tungsten, especially the main name brands, "Triton", "Benchmark" & "Artcarved". I have one "Artcarved" with a platinum inlay that retailed between $950.00 and $1,100.00.

Good luck out there.

Thanks to everyone for all the great replies I returned on Saturday (a week ago) to find it almost impossible to hunt due to the wind and cold. I did manage another Triton Tungsten Carbide though. I will be back and hopefully will be posting another nice find... Thanks again

Nice. If it didn't fit, I'd be at the Jeweler's getting it resized.
