I got out for low tide this morning to take the ctx for a swim and after 3 hours I found a total of 7 cents and two pairs of sunglasses. By now I'm thinking is this detector even working , so I make my turn and go closer to the shore line right where the small waves are breaking. There is usually a small trough there and I have found gold there in the past but not often. I am not even hunting the trough for more than a minute and get a pull tab signal about 6 " deep and out pops this fat 14k gold ring. FINALLY gold in the scoop. I think the maker is Mary Grace Designs from Thailand , I don't have a scale but this ring does have a nice heavy feel to it.
