    A silver band

    Hi Everyone! I thought I would share a few photos of a ring I found tonight out in the surf line. We had a really decent low tide that was helped by a east to west wind. A nice .925 popped up right next to a ladies hair beret. Someone has some explaining to do tonight. I'm just glad its not me.

    A Ring with Bling!

    Hey guys! I just came back in from a hunt on Anna Maria Island and I found what I think is my first ring with diamonds in it. Granted if they are diamonds they are chips but, what the heck do I care. It is gold (14k to be exact) and I am loving it. It is also a very wide ring (albeit not quite...

    Scale Suggestions???

    Can some of you Steely Eyed Looters give me some advice on a good but relatively inexpensive scale? I am not sure what type or measurements options I should get. I see some do oz,grams, etc.. but, I am not sure which is most important. Any advice you guys can give I would really appreciate...

    I followed everyones advice and .......$

    Hey everyone! Jess and I just came back from an evening hunt and I thought I would share with you a picture of a ring I found tonight. This is my second gold ring and it is a mens 14k wedding band (it is marked 14k and f4...I have no idea what f4 stands for). It is very large and is substantial...

    Working a beach from the water??

    OK Guys...Thanks for answering my other questions about water hunting. What do you consider the best way to detect over a beach in the water. Do you go from left to right walking parallel to the shore? or do you wade in and out from shallow to deep back and forth on the perpendicular? I find it...

    Dry Sand VS. Wet Sand VS. Water

    Hey Guys!! I have a noob related question (at least I think I still qualify as noob...I've only been doing this a little under a month now). I have made finds in the dry sand (a 10k ring and a silver chain) and I have made finds in the wet sand (a silver ring) but I have not as of yet really...

    :bouncy:Some Silver and a WWII Bullet (I think)

    Hey everyone! I just came off the beach tonight and I thought I would share with you my finds. The ring and the chain are from a couple of days ago but the bullet just came out of the ocean a few hours ago. I think it's a WWII 50. cal but I could be wrong. Maybe one of you more knowledgeable...

    Hey Everyone! I need some scoop suggestions!!

    OK! I know you guys are groaning and saying "Not this tired old topic again!" but, if I dont ditch this shovel soon, I might as well jump in one of my holes:goodnight:. It makes water diggin impossible (my finds all slip off the top and I end up digging over and over). I am prepared to spend @...

    I found the Cheese!! :clapping:

    Hey all! I finally did it this morning! I found my first piece of gold. Granted it's not huge (and is onlly 10k) but I found it!! Im still kind of buzzing off the find. Sidekick Jess and I went out early on Lido beach and found it in dry sand behind one of the public beaches. I have gotten out...

    04-05-2008 (I found my first Wheatie)

    Hi all! I just came back from the beach and though I havent found gold or anything else of value really, I am kind of excited to report that I found my first Wheatie. Im enclosing some pictures of it. I dont know if something like this is worth anything or not, but, I have to say, I sat there...

    First finds and a day at the beach! I love the Excalibur...works great

    Well we had fun at the beach today. We found a lot of junk but, we also found some coin and a few things that were to large to pull from the ground (is it logical to bury a shovel ?). I have to say if I wasn't getting burnt to a crisp I would still be out there searching. You'll see my trusty...

    Is there a real difference between the Minelab Excalibur 1000 and the II ??

    Hey Guys! I have a question for you experienced Minelab Excalibur users out there. Is there a big difference between the minelab Excal 1000 and a 2?? I have a chance to buy a new 1000 in box for $800.00. That sounds like a good deal right..... But im curious if you think that the 2 has new...

    Reccomendation on an inexpensive do all detector

    If you were going to buy an inexpensive (not cheap...but inexpensive) metal detector, that you could use on the beach and in a backyard or park, what would you get? I have looked at a new ace 250 (but I heard they take a dump over wet sand) and I have my eye on a used minelab xterra 30, but I am...
