Not a very good picture but...

I was bored last night so I decided to take a picture of my ring finds... I started water hunting last July 05, I purchased a PI PRO for $625 and it took me about a month to get the feel for water hunting before I felt comfortable with... I had been a long time dirt digger but I haven't gone dirt digging more than twice since getting hooked on waterhunting :) Missing from the photo is 1 gold band a member of another board bought from me for his wedding :), a ruby ring I am having fixed- the stone fell out :(, a diamond ring my sister wanted, and 6 silver rings that my wife asked for :) Thank God the wife doesn't like gold lol...

Top row is all gold, second row is half gold, half silver, 3 row all silver 4th row all junk.

Most of the ring finds are from last Fall to this Spring as I don't water hunt much during the summer when the beaches are sanded in.

It finds iron BH lol... But I know what iron sounds like so if it sounds big, I don't dig it :) I look at it this way BH I used to do commercial clamming so I am used to digging so a little extra digging not a biggy for me even if I am an old fart lol..
 
BH,

Its ok that people put down the PI, I rather hunt a beach that a guy using a VLF machine was on than one who was using a PI because after a PI users goes thru there is not going to be much left.


Bottom line... I don't care what water detector is used if you don't know where to hunt it won't matter. I have detected with people who supposedly have the best of the best and out hunted them... why? its because I know where to hunt and what to look for and I don't just meander around. This paticular hunter hunted with me twice and twice I got 3 rings each time out and he was skunked both times. Next time I saw him he was swinging a PI and had sold his expensive top of the line detector and he has yet to score a gold ring... Its the not the detector, its the person behind it case closed. :)
 
Craig: Great loot! Quick observation..looks like most of the rings are vintage..must be working an area heavily used in the past but not as much now..am I wrong?:bouncy:
 
Yes Purdy :) I work old beaches that don't get much use today.. I researched my coastline and found old beaches that aren't used today as well.. I have rings that go back to the 1800's... A buddy and I work area's where most won't..these area's are devoid of sand and are usually all rock, the digging is hard but the rewards can be great :)
 
With booty like that in the water, why would you ever consider diggin in the sand? Very nice collection. I imagine less than half the rings ever lost have been found. With all of those rings us hunters have found it amazes me that so many people would go into the water with rings on. Hope they never figure it out:wiggle:
