Whydah had a wedding to go to - so I had to hunt solo and then he had things to do when he got back (like finding a hooker of a bracelet)
I hit about six different beaches - all pretty pounded but managed some leftovers - (the 1915 wedding band was one of them that I had posted the other day) http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/beach-shallow-water/308570-wheres-new-stuff-another-old-gold.html
managed another 14k band - and a bunch of silver - 5 merc dimes - 5 silver quarters (one is a standing liberty) and a silver half
silver half was in 6 feet of water at low tide and about 2 feet down - it was a whisper of a signal and I was under water most of the time trying to retrieve it - was probably the hardest signal I dug all year - i have gotten a few deep gold in this exact area so i had to go for it
heart breaker was large band - i was heading out of the water and was in shallow in an area that is flooded with can slaw - the bottom here is mucky and I have never gotten much of anything but can parts here - I usually turn my machine off in this area - there were people standing in the water here too - I got a reading = scooped and got part of a can - no surprise - got a reading a few feet away figured it was rest of the can - scooped and saw huge band slide down - i got excited as I looked inside and it looked like I had a huge white gold band -
when i picked it up the the color looked off for white gold and ring was real heavy - Platinum - looked inside to see Tungston Carbide etched inside - would have been a honey if platinum or gold - thing weighs 14 grams
