After seeing many interesting jewelry finds that come from the beach, I recently purchased a Headhunter Wader to go along with my MXT. I found that it can keep me occupied while my wife enjoys the sun, sand, and a good book.
A week ago I found the Sterling ring (on the left) in the photo below. I was using the Wader at the edge of the surf, and digging about anything that beeped.
Today I returned to the same beach with both detectors. I worked the wet sand for a while with the Wader, then decided to try the MXT in the dry sand. I came home with the ring on the right.
At the time, I was working an area of nice loose sand and was getting lots of shallow foil hits. As I located each target, I would move sand away with my foot, grab the foil, and throw it in my pouch. I just knew that sooner or later one of the foil hits would be gold!
Today's ring was shallow and VDI'd as a solid 8 on the MXT. It appears to be gold, but I can't read the mark even under magnification. There are 5 very small diamonds, one at the center of the heart and two on each side of it. I'm hoping this will count as my first gold ring.
I can see how jewelry hunting can be fun, I'll just keep trying until I start finding the big ones.
