Warmed up to 43* mid-morning...... 18K was waiting in the dry sand

[Lorrain.]

Hi

10A.M. Hank says "Hon, better not go detecting today...too cold."

Now, my friends, ....you have to know that statement fell on deaf ears

Off to my favorite old beach went I.

Hunted 2 hrs. in dry sand at high tide...sun was shining; no wind.

Found all but the ring during the 2 hrs. On my way back to the car , still swinging that coil I picked up a strong , solid mid-low tone, and in the first scoop the ring showed up...probably about 5 inches deep.

No karat stamping, but tested 18 K with Mizer gold test kit.

Here's some pics

Thanks for looking

Way to go Lorraine! How many times are the good things found on the last pass or on the way back to the car? I know it has happened to me already a few times in my short time detecting.
Hope you don't mind but I used your story as additional ammo for me getting a GT for the wife to use (and me when she isn't using it. LOL). I think she is on the ropes and will be won over soon so keep up the finds!

Grats on the ring. It pays to always swing until you get to the car

I don't mind in the least, Cliff. I am pleased that you used my story as additional ammo. I hope that your wife will get the GT....please tell her that I think she will like it very much.
