10K , 1942 Class ring 14K Another 10K Oldie 14K Religious Medal 18K Fattie above and a few interesting coins below, found on the same hunt. I'm told that this is also an old ring because of the bold block lettering and was found at a location I have found oldies in the past...

Got out with my very good friend Cupajo the other day and had a banner day. He found a diamond engagement ring and I found what appears to be an Oriental chain and jade pendant, and a 14K signet ring. The mark was worn off the chain, but tested 22K. Two friends that have been in this a lot...

After a longer than usual dry spell, I finally broke the ice with this tiny, ( 1.6g ) 18K religious metal. Conditions have been less than favorable in most of the spots we have been hunting. When I do find a thin spot, I slooooow way down and take advantage of it. This small metal were the...

I would like to thank Todd ( Thiltzy ) for the invite to hunt today. Dan ( Del ) , Todd and myself have been trying to get something going and it finally came together. This is the ring I found today along with a couple other goodies. The ring weighed in at 6.91 g and looks like another oldie...

I found this little sweetheart yesterday and it doesn't have any markings in it. I thought it was silver because it was encrusted like most silver rings that have been in the saltwater for any length of time. However, after doing electrolysis on it and cleaned it up, it isn't silver. A friend...

Found this today one scoop down. It's an American Airlines Junior Stewardess ring from around 1950. Not worth anything but a neat find non the less.

....when you get excited about finding silver. :-\

Conditions aren't improving much but that still didn't stop me from making a couple decent finds. This is what a little over a 2 hour hunt produced. I couldn't hunt long because the thin area was out in deeper water so the tide killed me. A 14K Star Of David ring, silver bracelet and heavy duty...

I found this beauty :smitten: at one of our sanded in beaches. I almost went home after looking at the conditions :thinkingabout:. I found a thin spot about chest deep and worked the area....sure glad I didn't leave :happydance01:. Conditions have been bad for water hunting :hairpulling: but...

Reading some of these great stories motivated me to tell what happened to me a couple weeks ago. About 45 minutes into my hunt and 50' from shore, a lady was franticly calling me to shore. I removed my headphones and headed in to see what the problem was. She told me her Son In Law had just...

I usually don't post my water hunts, but today I hunted a spot that is hunted HARD, is small, has overwhelming EMI because the railroad tracks run right next to the beach, and is sanded in to boot. I found an area that the sand wasn't to bad and took my time listening for faint signals with my...

I normally do not do schools but gave one a try yesterday and found that it had been cherry picked because there were pennies all over the place and I started to leave them myself. However, I found a couple pieces of silver that they had missed. Although not old, I really like the 300 year...

Here is a pic of a side plate off a early flintlock/percussion rifle or shotgun that I found during yesterdays short hunt. This is the second hunting related item I found at this site, the first being an ornate grip cap off a rifle or shotgun or end cap of a hunting knife, ( we never could...

I hit the surf a couple hours before low tide and hunted about 3 hours...a total bust. I headed home a grabbed a bite to eat and loaded up my truck with my land gear and headed out. I'm sure glad I did. I hit a spot I had been to before that has been hunted fairly hard ( like most spots ), but...

Hit the beach Saturday ( in the water ) and it was clean, and I mean clean...definitely been hammered. Loaded up and headed to another spot I hit a couple times last week, and the pickins were slim. I did both water, wet and dry sand and found my first gold ring. It had a setting for a stone but...

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Excalibur 1000 :thinkingabout:. I don't do much land hunting in the warmer months because of the ticks :girlcry:, poison ivy crying01, vegetation :hairpulling:, and coming home soaked to the bone >:/. I figured this will fill the void :yes: and take...

The results of a 2 hour hunt before my hips started bothering me and I headed back to the barn. :-\ It appears to be a small date and I can't tell what the fraction is, large or small. :dontknow: After looking at the picture in the post I'm now wondering if it could be a large date. What do...

Well, the bad news is that I thought I was going to have to send my MXT Pro to the Sweet Home doctor because it was acting up. :thinkingabout: However , it turned out to be a short in my Sunray Pro Gold headphones. 8/ The wire is shorting out where it enters the 90 degree fitting. :hairpulling...

I broke the dry spell with a couple silvers and two IHs in the last two hunts. One hunt on Saturday and a hunt this morning. Sunday and yesterday were spent in bed recovering from my stupidity Sunday hunt. Anyway, the Standing Liberty and the 1928 Merc came from the same location. I have hunted...
