I don't post much anymore because I don't get out detecting as much as I used to, but I finally took a long overdue vacation down the Jersey Shore. I took 3 detectors that I thought were most suited for the beach, a Minelab Excalibur, and both the White's Dual Field PI and MX Sport. I used the Excalibur for a good part of the week finding usual bottlecaps, junk rings, one diamond stud earring and plenty of coins (including a few older pennies in remarkable shape for beach finds) but didn't have the charger so when the battery was drained I moved over to the MX Sport.

I had never used the single frequency Sport on the beach, but I was surprised how well it handled the beach, even the wet beach! I was getting signals as deep as 8 or 9 inches in the dry sand. The rose gold ring came in at a nickel tone and was an awesome surprise, but when I got a very jumpy signal at around 7 inches, I was thinking Bud Ice bottlecap. When I saw gold it put a huge smile on my face, but when I saw the 1915 gold coin I was super pleased to say the least!. It's a 1 ducat from Austria

That’s a beautiful ring. Some real nice finds. Congrats!
 

So, can someone explain this to me... why do some gold coins and gold coin jewelry make it up as banner, and others are ignored?

I think it's very subjective. I don't post much in here anymore, so I don't have the clout that some other users have. I don't blame the admins. They also don't favor beach finds so much anymore, just artifacts. Just my opinion.

Wow!
I missed this one also .
Sorry 'I try to say something on every find so I don't ever get far down the Today's finds .

Saw the Ring & thought I clicked on the wrong 'banner' does it have real Ice?

The coin ring is super cool.
 

I just threw in an official vote. This is a gold coin and any form of gold coin makes it to the top whether it’s a “coin coin” or a jewelry coin.

Thanks for the vote. I guess you were right! Let me know when you're down this way again!
