I really enjoy reading and seeing all the great finds you folks show. I thought I'd add a few of mine for the week.

I hunt the beach most every day, being as I only live about 10 minutes away. Sometimes before work, sometimes after work, sometimes before and after.

Monday morning was the best two hrs before work I ever had. I got into a mess of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, that kept me digging for nearly the hole two hrs. Also got a toy car, a silver ring with a blue stone, and a hunk of old wood that was pretty deep, that had a brass nail in it. From a boat, I suspect. I hung the ring on it for display.

Wednesday evening, about 7:00 I hit the beach again for a short hunt till dark. I didn't do well on the clad, .58, but had my first 2 ring hunt. My first was a nice little silver ring with what looks like jade in it, and the second ring as I was finishing up, was a 14K mens wedding band. My second gold ring in 3 weeks.

close ups of the wood and brass spike? please!
 
We're headed down to Oak Island and I'm going to try to hit it as hard as I can with my Ace 250 (all dry sand, this one's allergic to water). We are staying ocean front in a cottage (I haven't stayed in a cottage in years, we always opt for hotels/motels with maid service these days but i grew up staying in nothing but cottages) This cottage was built in the 40's. Anybody got any suggestions on good spots at Oak Island, N.C.?
 
Very nice...love the shipwreck nail!

I use a Minelab Sovereign GT.

I'll try to get a close up of the old piece of wood and brass nail posted soon.
