I have more than 100 tungsten, titanium and stainless steel rings, one big problem w it’s them is they are a hard and brittle metal and cannot be resized. I give them to friends, grandkids and Salvation Army.

Yeah, kids and young adults buy junk jewelry that they way overpay for, and spend whats left on tattoos. To them Gold and Silver are no better than Titanium, Tungsten and Stainless Steele. Only hope is give them a "deal" on this junk vs what the Jewelry stores are asking. Still nowhere near the value of gold but at least get "something" for it. I have a case full I need to unload. I used to beach and water hunt alot more than I do now, honestly it got depressing knowing most likely find only that junk at best.
Dirt hunting the same going to take a long time to pay for a detector finding silver coins when nobody carries them . Whats left is never going to get replenished if you can find what's there now .I'm not in it for the money just the hunt i get a lot of satisfaction finding a silver coin other people miss. sube

I dug a nice tungsten ring last year at Tybee Island, Ga. That rascal was heavy.Those tungsten rings beat bottle caps and pulltabs as far as I am concerned…

I was thinking the very same thing.No pun intended, but I hear you on the hearing aids
I've been able to sell those for from $5 to $20 dollars depending on what I can find as a comparable new price. Unfortunately it looks like the Chinese are going to kill that market too now that Temu (China's e-bay) has nice looking stainless and tungsten rings for sale for from 50 cents to $3 ... if it weren't for the government subsidies, couldn't even ship them here for than amount.

Wondering what those stainless an tungsten rings sound like on my oll Sovereign ?
If it Ain't gold,, silver or platinum. Palladium.
I don't wanna get dig it.

On an Excal they sound like a short round target response that in tone mode sounds like a large gold ring (not as high pitched as a quarter or half dollar but above a nickle) ... if you don't dig it you don't know what you have. You might be walking away from a very expensive piece of metal.Wondering what those stainless an tungsten rings sound like on my oll Sovereign ?

High Tide
That might push me to hunt the blanket line where all the fresh dropped bottle caps are and, on occasion, a nice ring that fell to the sand in the rush to pick up blankets, chairs and kids when a wave hits them. ;-)
That is when it is important to understand how Riparian laws might apply. In many cases you can still detect the water up to the mean high tide line legally.
Edited to add: If it is National Park or other federal property, then most likely out of luck.
