Just got back from an epic hunt! My heaviest gold ring to date was 9.6 grams of 18k.. just broke that record by a long shot. Pulled a 15g 18k white gold wedding band today
I'm glad I wasn't avoiding pennies because the 18k ring hit all the way up in the penny numbers (guessing because of its size and high karat). I was hunting the water so I didn't see the exact numbers but it screamed in my headphones, so I'm sure it was 20+, the last thing I was expecting was a gold ring. Even when I saw it in my scoop I didn't get excited because it was white gold and rang too high lol Figured it was just another titanium or steel ring, however, as soon as I picked it up I knew something wasn't right based on how heavy it was... sure enough it's marked CrownRing 18k Gold!
I pulled all of the rings during high tide on the slope between high tide and low tide, once low tide hit I couldn't find any signals out far or in close, called it a day. What I think happened is the outgoing tide pulled sand back over some of the shallow targets I found during high tide on that initial slope.
The other 2 rings are marked 925 and Tungsten...
