CLAD AND TUNGSTEN!!!

Goldstrike

Well-known member
[size=medium]Did a little beach detecting today and found the usual clad but also got this tungsten wedding ring! Yes, they make wedding rings out of tungsten...Google it!.....It weighs almost as heavy as a gold ring would but much more durable than gold and probably almost indestructible and if anything fell on the ring, it would not crush your finger like it would if you were wearing a gold ring.
They vary in price anywhere from $40 to over $100....anyway, that was my first tungsten ring to date![/size]
 
Great looking ring. I love how the Safari runs so stable at high sensitivity in the wet sand and goes deep for the rings!
 
[size=large]Thanks guy's!!....Swinger that is very, very funny!!!...I like it but....Nah, I'll stick to Goldstrike it's what I'm hoping for every time I swing that detector!!:wiggle:![/size]
 
Sweet ring GoldStrike, congrats!

[size=medium]Thanks Bunker![/size]
 
[size=medium][size=medium]It came up as a solid 32 in AM sens.....set at 16 at about 4 to 5 inches deep in dry fine and clean sand.[/size] I remember the tone was a 'fluty' tone that you get with silver. I hope that helps because normally, I would not bother with that ID #
Although everyone says to "dig everything on the beach", I skip the 35's which usually are clad cents although they also come up as 37-38's and the - (minus) numbers which invariably are junk. Gold and platinum can be many different numbers so you have to be careful you don't pass up some good targets.[/size]
 
I'm always looking to dig 31-32 (14k wedding band) but find it strange that on the graph id bar the ring will as read copper and not gold....Agree with your clad numbers and also found the pre-zinc pennies ('59-'81) consistently id as 36,37,38 when recovered from wet soil (halo effect ? ).
 
Hope you have a beach shovel with holes.. Speeds it up....
