Another three ringer.

Canerat · Apr 24, 2016

This has been a long time coming, finally a good ring two are junkers and the one with the bobby pin is a 5.80 gram platinum. I was out for about 3 hours and making my way back to my car along the water line on an incoming tide, scooped it looked into the scoop and thought great another junker, but was a little surprised that I didn't recognize the sound of junker, I know the sound of junkers every time unless there is another piece of metal near the ring. When I picked it up and felt the weight I almost shouted BOOM BABY. Very happy happy right now.

Nice one there Canerat!! Congratulations on that beauty! Yeah...its the heavy tungstens in the scoop that still fool a guy though! Sounding great through the phones and clanking around like a valuable! Even in hand they feel so nice and heavy! :laughing:

Funny how a guys ears get tuned to the sound of good rings in a scoop and by tone? In pitch black, Even with headphones on a guy can tell...! :laughing:

In the dark, I sort of run my fingernail around the inside feeling for hallmarks...amazing how this Sport really sharpens up certain human senses.... :laughing:

Plats are a tough signal though...same with white gold, both way lower than yellow depending on size and weight...almost like a stainless steel washer..

Yeah Mud there are a few things that I recognize just by the sound, but not always the only non repeating signal I always dig are the low sounds. Funny thing is I can be digging trash all day with no one in sight, but as soon as I get a beautiful low grunt there will be someone standing there watching my every move, that does my head in. If I'm on the beach I'll make a mark in the sand where the target is and mill about till the person leaves. Tungsten is pretty rare here, I've dug only 3 tungsten rings and 3 platinum. Stainless rings are my nemesis I've dug hundreds.

There are no numbers, but the stamp says pure platinum in Chinese, so it's 999.

Great capture Canerat. My hunts have been so bad I have to go by the cemetery on the way home to make sure I'm not dead.

scott.f · Apr 24, 2016

Wow, that is a great day.

Just keep at it. You can spend a thousand hours looking for gold and not find any or switch on your detector and find a piece of gold in second.

Okay so I predicted wrong. Meant to say I see Platinum for you soon! :lol:

Well done! May take me 40 years to hit a Platinum the way it's going :lol:

Steve · Apr 25, 2016

Looks like your holding it upside down. . I can't make out the characters. If its 999 it's pretty much the same as 18k.. :lol:

Yeah I was expecting a gold too. I predict you find platinum before the end of the year.

That's about the best photo I could take. I think you're mistaken Steve 999 is the same as 24k as far as I know and 18k is 750.

I think he missed where you said it was Plat. I sure hope there isn't any 18k Plat :lol:

When you sell it you will get about the same price as 18k.
$1235 for gold and $1015 for 999PT... plus the pt melt is a bit lower becuase of the resources needed to recycle it.

Another three ringer.
