I had 2 hunts over the weekend on Saturday and Sunday with NuBlu. Saturday, I found one area that gave up 90% of all the coins. I even had 1 scoop that came up with 5 quarters. I am pretty sure that has never happened to me. The rest of the hunt had few targets and nothing noteworthy.
I changed my detecting plans and decided to return to the same beach as I went to yesterday, but this time I would head south. As I left the parking lot around 6:40 am, I noticed a $100 bill staring me in the face next to the curb on the street! I gave it a quick glance and folded it in and stuck it in my finds pouch. I now walked to the beach believing that even if I didn’t find any gold at least I had a nice crisp Benjamin!
At about the 2.5-hour point in the hunt I got a very clear and clean mid-tone. I pick up the scoop and move some shells around and there was the beautiful gold ring! I saw some writing on one side of the setting I couldn’t make out so I though for sure I had a dinger! 
As I keep hunting, I get to another area that gave up a bunch of quarters. Shortly thereafter, a tall. French-Canadian guy named “Adrian” comes to see me to tell me about his grandfather’s chain that had a pendant on it that he lost on the day prior. I tell him to mark the area he wants me to search. After 15 minutes of working that area, he tells me he thinks it was a bit further south.
So he does another mark in the sand. I work it again for another 15 minutes before telling him I needed to move on. He understood and wanted to leave anyway as it was starting to drizzle. I don’t think he really knew where he had lost it and was just grasping at straws. As I was heading back, I get what I was pretty sure was a “foilish” signal when I look in the scoop and see 
. This rose gold ring had markings as well that I couldn't make out exactly. After just over 5 hours, I was tired and done. I was content in knowing that I had found a $100 bill and 2 gold rings! A great day in my book!!
When I got to the car, 2 of my 3 bubbles were burst!
First, I take out the folded bill and notice some discoloration and it did not feel how money feels when its wet. Then I see “Movie Prop Use Only” clearly written on the bill. 
The I get in my car with the 2 gold rings. I check out the 1st one and its markings were some type of junk writing. I then took the loupe to the rose gold ring and saw “14K” and a bunch of other inscriptions. 
At least this ring saved the day and what’s been my slow start to 2024 with only my 2nd gold.
