Ahhhhhhhhh...winter Gold!

I haven't been out swinging my detector since I found those 6 large cents in one day. Snow and cold weather set in big time. I was talking to someone from the water department the other day and he said the frost is down 18". I was going stir crazy and wanted to go out detecting so I thought about the beaches about an hour away. I have at least a dozen beaches on the north side of LI Sound from NY to CT. I checked the tides the night before and saw there were a number of nice minus tides in the early a.m. I must say I rarely go to the beach with my detector. I woke up and saw it was a balmy 34 degrees with temps supposed to hit 50 and figured it's time to go. I picked out one of the beaches and off I went. Hit the wet sand and after about an hour low and behold, out pops a nice high school ring in 10k. It was a smaller girls ring, but still weighed in at 8 grams. I guess I'm going to be spending more time at the beach.

Great find! At least your out feeding the addiction lol. I love finding rings! Im going stir crazy with this winter. yesterday it was 50 now i have 5 inches of snow in my yard and its still coming down.

I know what you mean Josh. I'm probably equal distance north to NYC that you are from central NJ. We get about the same weather. Expecting more on Wednesday although it looks like you're might change to rain. If that's not bad enough, more coming Sunday night. This certainly is an addiction, but what a great one! Can't wait for spring and I'm jealous of those down south who complain when it's 50.
