    10K Gold ring off the beach as 2013 draws to a close!

    A short beach detecting trip paid off with a pretty 10K gold ring with an aquamarine stone set in it:clapping:. I think the weather spiking up to 83 F this past week helped to get a few more people on the beach and also I've been working a little harder trying to detect a ring or 2 before...

    If there's no gold on the beach, I guess I'll settle for Platinum:clapping:

    I thought I had gold when I got a solid 21 and a low tone but when I saw it in my scoop,I thought that's strange, silver doesn't 'ring up' that low?? Then that voice came into my brain, "No stupid, that's PLATINUM!!!! You should have seen the smile on my face!!!!:crazy: I love this hobby! Not...
