Picked up a vacation spot down on the texas coast so I had to try metal detecting. I got a new Excal II about 2 months ago and have hunted 4 times now. I've pulled LOTS of can slaw, pull tabs, a few bucks in clad (I've found several spots where I dig multiple coins...people seem to lose coins in clumps) but no jewelry so far. Yesterday I got my first ring...too bad it's just plated (and wearing off at that). Wonder what the base metal is?
Here are some shots:
I almost didn't think it was a piece of jewelry till I saw the hallmark...any clue what it is? I'm thinking it's just a maker's mark (the mark looks like "-KC"):
After the first 3 hunts I was beginning to doubt my purchase. I am getting a much better hang of the machine after about 15 total hours (I definitly think I know the sound of aluminum
however, I still dig every hit).
