I couldn't work today (raining) so I decided to hit a beach I haven't been to in a long time and I got 4 rings 2 being gold and the other 2 toe rings... I worked a ankle deep trough that formed recently the sand was gone and it left just the mud and stones... Before I purchased the Excal I would read about hearing a low growl when a gold ring is found.. the only thing I ever find with a low growl is aluminum lol... Gold at least to me is a midtone just below coins. I used the Excal because this paticular beach has lots of iron nails...
