By the time I hit the water I only had 45 minutes to spend and then had to get home. Put the 3030 in the stock Beach program, Auto +3, Recovery Deep on. Hunting freshwater. It was really quiet, the lake is badly sanded in. Hit 2 quarters then hit this Tungsten ring. Hit at a solid 12-18 at 5 inches. Took me 3 scoops to get it as I still am having trouble pinpointing...especially in the water. I was in just under waist deep water. Its not gold or silver, but still exciting to get my first ring with the machine. It does have gold inlay...does that count..
