Default Platinum and Ice
I didn't know where I wanted to detect today because it was windy and my hunting partner couldn't go... I decided to hit a beach I have never been to... My first signal was a very soft whisper I scooped once and the whisper got a little louder and then took 2 more scoops and it was even louder... On the 6th scoop I saw something shiny and figured it was either stainless or my first platinum ring and that's what it was

Its a heavy ring and has 1 small diamond in it... Its going to the jewelry store tomorrow so I can have it buffed up for myself




Here is the Plat mark.




13.6 grams




Rest of the stuff doesn't get top billing lol...



I have been water hunting with my PI PRO for 19 months and I never expected to find a platinum ring

Awesome find Craig! It look like the some of the stones are missing in the channel? Or is it just designed this way?

Anyway, congrads!

Nothing is missing Vlad... I thought that when I first found it as well.... next week I'm going back to this beach... After I found the ring I gridded the area and found everything else in a 50x50 area...

Nice Craig! Congrads!

Yeah he was probably so excited, that he was shaking as he took the pic.

WTG Craig! Now that you are in the platinum club, I would kindly take some of those "old" gold and sterling rings out of your way to make way for your "new" found treasure! Anywho, great job.
