Sorry y'all, this is a couple days old. I got it done and posted almost everywhere, but we lost our WiFi and so I had to wait for the WiFi to settle down and work before I finally could get it posted...
Rita, Speedy and I all went to the "Dog Beach" here and Speedy got to play and meet other people and dogs while I MD'ed. I got 30 or 40 yards down the beach before I realized that I still had the disc and notch dials wayyy up from my park hunt the other day. So I crank 'em both down to "0" and start back over the ground I had already done. I got about 3/4 of the way back to where I started and stopped to chat with a lady who had an identical dog to Speedy (right down to the red leash). Rita and Speedy came over and we all chatted for a while and then the always asked question came up... "do you do any good with that?" And I answer, "oh, I do OK..." and briefly tell her my totals. Then I leave her, Rita and the dogs there as I get started back 'tecting. I hadn't gotten 5 feet and I get this low growl, not the low BLAAAAATT that you get with a bottlecap or the wahhhwaaaaaahwah with a pulltab... just a low grumbly growl with a slight dip in the middle. Now, I have not heard real good ring sized gold on this machine yet so I almost - ALMOST - didn't dig it. But I did and in the second scoopfull (about 6 inches down I find a silvery ring. But it didn't scream like silver and it looked like a cosmetic ring, junk, not a real one. Well I turn around and show it to the girls with a "UH, yeah, I guess I do DO OK!" They couldn't believe their eyes! I'm sure I heard her say, I guess I will get a metal detector. So here we go, here's the pic's.....
The ring before cleaning, less than 5 minutes out of the sand and ALREADY on the wife's hand... Oh, look baby, IT FITS ME!!!
After a light cleaning at home...
And YES!!! It's 18K!!!!!!!
