    3 Ring Beach Day

    Hi all. Well, it's been a while since we made a post. Haven't had much ump to get out lately. I'm sadden to say that my wife of 35 years had suddenly passed in January, and I just haven't gotten out very much.
    this past weekend, being the holiday and all, I decided to take the Sea Hunter out to do strictly water detecting at a well known Florida Beach called Siesta Key.
    I normally just use the ATPro in the dry sand, but thought I get out with the Dolphins a bit.
    Noticed this sand bar about 100 yards off shore, so we swam out to it and manage to come out with three rings, and 3 ear rings. Nothing fancy, but exciting to find so many in a couple of hours. One ring was a Swiss Tungsten.
    Happy hunting everyone.

    Very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories of that 35 years. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for you, but I hope you are doing OK.

    You had several really nice finds in a short amount of time! I like the ring with the runes on it, which is of course the One Ring from "Lord of the Rings".

    Congrats on the nice finds!
    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
