Best description I can come up with. It's 14k, 24", 158.6 grams (5.56 oz) with 60 captive diamonds. Hunting that day involved 4 x fourty minute hikes with pack. So I'm detecting along, minding my own business...a proven spot but pounded to death by VLF guys. Lots of iron so I'm going in between turning up the Dual Field for depth and turning it back down to pick out the non-ferrous stuff (not much of it). Even trying to be selective to not constantly dig iron I'm getting killed--one after the other, spikes and bits most short or round enough to not hit twice. So I hear one that has a bit of optimization--kind of reedy but so does some of the iron--although those are a bit fuzzier. So I'm wearing my five gram test ring--I pul the coil up out of the water and hit it--ya, sounds the same--lets dig. Up comes this glitzy "stainless thing with sparkles" and rust on the clasp end to proove it. I just happened to think of a time when I nearly mistook a good piece for junk because I had pinned it to my pouch and the pin's rust had leached onto it. So I looked at this thing and sure enough--rusted out spring--hence the rust. Next observation--that "5" in the "925" almost looks like a "K"...ya right...not likely! So I stowed it and sure enough it later held test at 14! The stones also tested. This spot also had my interest because there's cross-currents that bring in loose sand with heavy targets and gouge out the draw. It's also one of those sections that funnells the biggest waves in. Moral of the story? When you have a proven section of shoreline moniter it, watch for changes and learn it's patterns.
