Very nice stuff Charles.
I should do the same and put all my rings, chains and etc in a pile like you did and post them. Most people will just ignor a pull tab reading, but like you, I have probably dug thousands of pull tabs and every now and then it pays off with a nice gold ring or chain. Again, nice digs and thanks for sharing the pics with us and it just goes to show that not all pull tab signals are indeed pull tabs.

Hampton Beach, NH 8 gold rings, 878 pull tabs (holy crap right but one of those rings was the big honker diamond ring
South Jersey Shore 16 gold rings, maybe 20 pull tabs, very rare to dig a tab there.
So you see it can vary a LOT. Waves tend to wash the pull tabs out to sea on the south jersey shore, not much foil or tabs where I was hunting. Nickels on the other hand, probably 40-70 nickels to 1 gold ring and zink cents, holy cow a ton of those.
There are some strategies when it comes to beach hunting for gold. Unlike a patch of dirt inland which you can grid over time the beach changes daily with targets washed out from up high, targets off shore tossed back up onto the beach, and targets either buried or uncovered when several feet of sand moves around. So you have 4-6 hours to hunt any given low tide and you might come back tomorrow and that great spot will be buried under 2 feet of new sand so you got to get the goods while you can. Therefore I adopted some hunting strategies to increase my odds of digging gold. I also finally dug enough gold (and trash) to finally understand what the Explorer was telling me e.g. how gold sounds/behaves versus trash, that helps.
