Talking Idx-pro is on the gold.....and diamonds

I have use the IDX for six yrs. now and it pay for itself over 20x and that is not including Last yr. big find...1 Diamond ring. I said no more. Great detector to use on drysand! I went on a 45min. hunt before work and found a 14K W/G with 14 small Diamonds, I call Craig to bring his Diamond meter and check out good! He took the photos. My Jeweler Appraise it at $1,000.

PS That other ring you see is Synthetic Ruby I found two yrs. ago

LOL! When he said that I said why, He said the Diamonds looks like it fall in the SI grading. I can see why the $1,000.

Default Nice finds

Hello Joe,
Those are both beautiful finds. Where did the rings show up on the id display? Were they clear beeps? I have found a couple of 10 K rings int he last month with my IDX Pro both in the water though. I wish I could figure out a fool proof way to water proof it. Keep up the nice finds!
Best Regards,
Steve

Congrats PI joe-- I have the IDX PRO myself. Its too bad that the Pro can't be used in wet sand but who needs it when you can get gold and diamonds in dry sand. Liked the rings!!
