That is a cool looking ring. I sympathize, rocky bottoms are a real pain to make recoveries and all those tabs make it even more frustrating. But with all the gold and silver you find the extra effort I believe is worth while. Thanks for all your posts, stay safe, good luck and keep swingin (there is more gold out there somewhere).Tough day at another swimming hole!
Just in case you guys think it's all peaches and cream for me. The places I go are all rocky and gravely bottomed, no sand at all.
I'm exhausted! 76 pull tabs and $1.13 for a 6 hour hunt. The crazy ring is stainless.

Every once in awhile I hunt places where me or someone else has removed all the tabs, along with everything else, and I long to get a pull tab just to have something to dig! 😆It's nice to see posts like yours....A good reality check...I think I would have quit on the 6th or 7th pulltab...you get the patience award!
Better a tab than to be skunked.Every once in awhile I hunt places where me or someone else has removed all the tabs, along with everything else, and I long to get a pull tab just to have something to dig! 😆
