i see some people are finding rings. this might be obvious but, the metal detector is picking up the band part of the ring not the diamond, or stone right?

jb7487 said:Where do you feel the highest concentration of rings is usually found? Dry sand, wet sand, in the water? I haven't done any major beach hunting so I have a hard time understanding where to hunt to maximize my results. Do rings travel "down current" and end up in certain locations or do they end up staying where they fall most of the time? Do they tend to wash up on the beach? Etc.?

The vast majority of rings I find are in the water, anywhere from ankle deep to chest deep. Rings do sink fast, if dropped in shallow water they will stay pretty close to where dropped in fresh water, but in an ocean they can move a long ways before they settle, depending on the current, and wave action, once settled they then stay there until a storm, rip current or something else disturbs them. I have found several nice rings right at the water line, and a couple diamond rings in the sand, but majority is in the water for me. I found 5 on July 4 2008, 2 at water line, one in wet sand and 2 in dry sand. I didn't hunt in the water that day as it was very rough.
I had a couple ask me to look for a ring their 13 year old son lost that day, I found the ring several hours later at least a hundred yards from where they said they were when he lost it, and they said they knew he was never down that far as he stayed close to where they were sitting.
