Went out today to my local lake beach spot since I didn't have a lot of time to go anywhere too far and wanted to get out for a bit. Figured I would try a different approach and decided to dig all clear tones over 50. I knew this would yield a lot of pull tabs as this site has tons of tabs. After about an hour of detecting along the sides of the beach where there are a couple grassy areas with picnic tables I found a few dimes and a few pennies here and there all clad. Dimes a consistent 81-83 and pennies vary from 75-80. I was pulling tabs left and right in the 50-65 range. A couple bottle caps from 65-75. several pieces of foil in the high 40's but I dug them anyway as they sounded fairly clean and the soil there is easy to dig so I gave it a shot. After a couple hours of this I found a clad quarter which was surprising because I would have bet anyone I had found all the quarter after several trips to this site recently. Quarter was 84 @ 6" laying flat. working my way back up toward the car I rang a solid consistent 43 on the ATP . Foil I figured and walked a few steps then for some reason I went back to it and checked again. It was clear as it could be . Curiously got the best of me so I dug it and boom there it was a small ring. I pulled it out and sure enough 10K . Its small and doesn't weigh much but still GOLD ! My first ring and first gold. I searched the hole for the setting but couldn't find it so I moved on. Another penny and then I rang up a high tone figured it was another quarter. It was about 3" in a rocky hole. I was shocked to see ANOTHER RING! After pulling it I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't gold just gold colored lol. Its some sort of costume jewelry but still was fun to find. So today was a good day.
