At the beach today and prizes were few. However the Sand Shark read a target right at the waterline but I was having a problem getting the signal into the scoop. And of course the constant run of waves filled the hole as soon as I could pull the sand out. So I slightly altered the spot I was aiming at and suddenly there was no signal coming out of the sand and shells.
VICTORY!
I hauled my full scoop away from the water and dumped it on dry sand. I ran the Shark over the pile to locate my prize but there was no signal. I looked in the scoop thinking one of the magnets mounted inside had snagged a Bobby pin or a bottle cap but there was nothing. I went back to where the signal had been but nothing there either. I then swung my way back to the sand I had dumped, thinking it may have fallen out of the scoop but still nothing.
I was perplexed.
Then I noticed a sparkle at the lip of my scoop. There was a very thin ring with two sparklers but the band consisted of three loops ( probably a toe ring) and it had “captured the scoop” between two of the loops.
So instead of “a ring in the scoop” I had a “scoop in the ring”!
Probably won’t ever be able to say that again!

Is it gold?
