Found my first gold ring at Onslow Beach at Camp Lejeune last week. I have used the GT on 2 separate trips to the beach and this is my first gold ring. The first trip a year ago netted me a Triton Titanium wedding band. This past week a gold one. After numerous trips to the beach in the past with my old White's Spectrum, I never did so well. The GT balances like a dream machine at the beach, and my Sunray S-12 was awesome too. Nothing under the coil escapes it's grasp.
