Super low tide finds with my SeaHunter II

Went out the last couple days with my SeaHunter II at the local salt water beach to detect at the end of a rock pier. The -3.5+ foot tides of early May and June expose the beach only a few days each in early May and June so I had to get out there ASAP. I wasn't disappointed as I found $2.18 cents and a couple of rings. The larger one on the right is marked "Titanium" while the smaller one has no metal content markings at all though it does have an inscription on it so it probably is silver. I guess a lot of people threw coins off the end of the pier when the tide was high and I came along and picked them up (I don't know how many people's wishes were granted before I found the coins!). The water around Puget Sound is too cold for most swimmers and I bet the rings came from the fingers of scuba divers that frequent the place. In June, I'll be back with my bigger coil to find the deeper targets!

Great. Titanium rings are expensive but not real valuable. I have only found one with 2 18K gold bands in it. You know there is more where they came from!
 
The SeaHunter doesn't a have a display (it can be used underwater up to 200 feet) to show you what you're hearing, but it does "sound" a lot like a pull tab / silver. Unlike the Infinium you can't distinguish the target by the change in hi/lo tone but after using the SeaHunter for a while, I think that ferrous targets have a different sound to them. Also, I don't use the discrete trash elimination feature because I don't want to miss the small gold targets. Fortunately, I was hunting in a part of the beach without a lot of junk otherwise I'd would have been digging a lot of trash targets!

Probably made by a Boeing assembler who doesn't know what to do with all the titanium lying around now that the carbon fiber 787 is coming on line! :confused:
