Took the DFX out to the bay in VA. today, it is still tough pickings, but manage to do alright. The ring is 10K found in the wet sand 6" deep. My first watch i ever found, (ANNE KLEIN) two tone with crystals (est. value 120.00) still ticking.(wife took it!) and a silver busted up anklet and silver Micky head, and lots of clad. I still don't know if i like this DFX, but it is sure nice not to dig all the steel with my PI.
