Had a lot of stuff to do but headed out before dawn for about 2 hours of hunting. Since I had a short time I decided to use the AT Pro and stick to the dry and wet sand and leave the water till tomorrow. 10 minutes into the hunt I get a nickle sound and a solid 54-55 on the readout.

Ok I got another nickle, jam in the scoop and PRESTO! The first Plat ring of the year. I could tell it was heavy and thought to myself "this better not be a tungsten/Carbide. Had to wait until I got home since I didn't have me spectacles with me.

I was not disappointed, it weighed 9.9 grams and was inscribed as Pt 950 (95% Platinum). Gawd I love this hobby where you can go months without a good find then in the course of a week your scoring fast and heavy.

Thanks for looking and good luck and happy hunting.

Beautiful platinum! Such a distinctive shape too! Doesn't it just feel wonderful in your hand? Your eyes tell you it should feel lighter, but you can really feel the density of the metal when you're holding it. Seriously congrats! :thumbsup:

Thanks Irons! I'm still amazed when I hold it in the hand. Just seems something that size weights more than it should.

Thanks Mudpuppy! Just for grins I checked the spot price for 95% Plat and that ring is $284 by itself.

As you know those bikini's are a distraction but I'll take the distraction of a clunker in the scoop any day. Thanks Aquaman
