Detecting trip #23

Beach area - 45 minute hunt @ dusk.


All my finds


GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOLD 18ct ring!
That is right the GOLD FAIRY has come my way again!!!!!!!  And boy was she generous!  I got an 18ct women's ring weighing 8g!  which beats out my 18ct men's wedding band by .7g! And all three stones where still in it(doubt that they are diamonds but you never know ;) )  I thought that it was one of those costume rings that women wear until I cleaned it up with some HCL and saw 3 stamps! 2 say 18ct and one says 750... I will have it checked by the gold buyers to make sure but I did cut into it with a hacksaw just to check and it looks to be gold all the way through!


22 caliber shell & bullet!

Found the shell deep in a hole on the beach and further away I found the bullet!  I don't think that they go together as the shell looks as if it were a blank... but I though that it was really cool to find both! Makes you wonder though.




Gold Plated broach

I found this broach in a spot that I had gone over 3 times already... don't know how I could have missed it.  I guess I should get a smaller coil next so that I can check those hard to fit spots a bit better.  But my pinpointer was the real hero as I would not have found the stone without it. It barely picked it up.  Though it is no silver or gold it sure is a nice looking broach.  I seem to have a knack at finding interesting broaches. lol.
