I picked up used metal detector at a yard sale Friday. Cost $100 for an Ace 250

I hit the beach at low tide

i did not know it would be so easy

A passer-by said the locals call the area I was doing "THE CUT"

Friends from the CT club will be coming to show me the ropes next week

Diamond looks to be over 2 carat

Congrats!! Don't set your expectations to high, days like that are pretty rare. Best $100 you ever spent....already paid for itself and then some.

I found a quarter.
Obviously, I was not at the right beach!

Congratulations, hope you find many more!

Congratulations....nice find....hope your luck holds up!!!

 

[nolanation]

Nope not that easy, thats a super lucky start!

Good that you got pictures, I suspect there will be a gap before the next day you win the lottery ring draw. As most people never have a day like that and to do it before you know as much as the ones who know it all and can't find that much in a month is crazy good! I'd say its a good time to retire undefeated and make your fortune selling maps to where you scored the great ring or write a book on how easy it is to find treasure at the beach.
Seriously, congratulations! Remember to have fun, fill your holes and keep taking pictures and posting.
