A gold ring, a silver ring, and some silver coins
July 21, 2014 11:10PM
The last 3 days (out of 5) produced a gold ring, a silver ring, and 4 silver coins.

The 3rd and 4th days were at the beach during the extreme negative tides. The 17” coil pulled out another deep 14k gold ring out in the negative tide zone. Also got a 1944 walking liberty half dollar and a 1924 mercury dime.

The last day was at 2 different locations. The 1st hunt was at a bottle cap / pull tab graveyard, or so it seemed. The 11” coil pulled out a partially masked silver ring. The 2nd hunt was at a new location. It produced a 1953 silver dime and a 1934 silver quarter.



Here’s a photo of the 14k gold band and the silver ring.
