Good Day at the Beach

Yesterday I found my first ring with my new Surf PI Pro and my first "ocean" ring in a long time. As I have mentioned in previous posts, most of my detecting for the past few years has been in freshwater lakes with my Fisher 1280-x. I had a lot of success in the lakes but I wanted to get into "surf" hunting for a number of reasons: the beach is closer, the water is warmer (now), the digging seems easier, and, I think, the quantity and quality of the jewelry is better.
I really didn't know what to expect when I drove down to the beach yesterday but we have had some big high tides and small low tides this week. I got to the beach just at low tide and started hunting the slope going down to the water and just like that found the start of a pocket that stretched for about 50 yards. With no other detectors in sight, I had the beach to myself and was thoroughly enjoying the new detector, learning the sounds of different objects and their depths. After about an hour I was digging a deep signal by the base of the slope and out popped a man's white gold band with a small diamond.
I've had good days detecting before but this day was a milestone for me. It made me realize that I have a whole new dimension in the hobby to explore and I am just getting started! HH!
 
It is addictive, I started about two years ago and bought a Excal. 6 months ago and love beach and water hunting. I will never forget finding my first ring, I wondered what was making that noise rattling around in the basket and WOW oh WOW. You are right you have opened up a whole new dimension to the hobby. In the 6 months I have owned my Excal I have not only increased my ring in take but the quality of rings, gold and silver.
Once again way to go, keep posting the pics.

Great finds...Congrats.

One of the things I like about beach hunting is that nobody can get a monopoly on it.

Now your a looter! This will be only the first of many! Keep those pictures coming and here's hoping 2010 is full of great firsts for you.
