Haven’t posted for a while but have a good story to tell. My wife and I booked a two week getaway for our 50th wedding anniversary on the Grand Strand of South Carolina. Arrived on October 11th as the Nor’easter was coming ashore. A lot of rain & high winds Saturday night all day Sunday and into Monday morning. Researched online where the worst beach erosion happened. Wednesday early morning I headed north 37 miles with my gear including my led light baseball hat. Arrived there @ 6:30 and detected about a mile and a half cut that was 4’ in some areas and 7/8’ in others. Was there for 7 hours. Could have dug sinkers all day long. Could not read any of the dates of coins I harvested. Totally incrusted. About an hour Into the hunt just at dawn I got a solid 27 on my Nox 700 bout 3 feet away from the base of the cut. 14k men’s to tone diamond ring. 9.7 grams, diamonds tested real. Two days later I harvested a ladies 14k white gold 2.5 gram gold tear drop diamond ring. Sooo, wifey and I both have our 50th anniversary diamond Nor’easter rings without stepping one foot into a jewelry store !!! Bandit
