Hello all,
Just wanted to share my first water find. It makes ring 15. I have been hitting the dry sand very very hard about 10+ hours per day grinding the grids out line by line. I have been doing very very well 15 rings in 18 hunts. This day was a 5 ring day with two returns. I have been studying water hunting at night before bed so I knew the time to leave the dry and get in was low tide that happened around midnight. I went out in the main swimming area knee high and with in 15 min my AT Pro was screaming at me high 90's I knew it was something good. It read 6" not having a long handle scoop I knew this was going to be rough. But having read so much I knew what to expect. Took me 20 min to retrieve it with my hand scoop the hole kept refilling I kept putting my.foot in the hole and played the waiting game. When I got it in my scoop the first thing I seen was the skull not sure if you can tell from the photo but there is 8 little stones in it 4 in the teeth and 4 on the bones. It felt like pirate treasure. Hit the dry for another 20 min after this on my walk back to my truck. Only clad after this. I never thought I would find so many rings so fast but then again 10+ hours a day is not fast. Getting ready to go find number 16 happy hunting all.

Wow sounds like you have been busy! Nice finds, how does your AT pro work in the saltwater? I've heard they can be chatty, but have never tried one. Congrats!
 
Nice ring! Its definitely possible to find a whole bunch of goodies if you have the option to get out as much as you have. I think Amanda and I are doing pretty well ourselves with 15 rings 1 gold and a bunch of silvers and 3 silver coins but like you we get out a good few Times a week and go for a good few hours each time. It's possible just gotta grind it out. Congrats on them rings!
