Old Ma Nature finally gave us a break this afternoon with low tide and moderate temperatures, gentle breeze out of the south and equally gentle swells making the water easy to hunt.

After over four hours of hard digging I took home three 10K rings, two silver rings, a bus token and a Madona medal of heavy copper that was silver plated at one time and has the date 1830 on it!

Two of the rings are senior rings one from 1970 and the other 1935!

Just to keep things in perspective I'm showing every bit of metal that was dug to allow me to get the gold.

I hand held the little Fuji Camera and most of the shots turned out fine.

Nice finds Cupajo. Were they in the water or higher up on the beach?

At low tide I was in knee deep water most of the time!

Another excellent hunt ... and that is not much trash at all.

Nice rings, Cupajo!

the medallion is probably not old. the date is when a French girl saw a vision of the Virgin Mary. here's a link:

Anyway, I wish I could find one ring like these, let alone 5. That's a Merry Christmas in my book!

Bob, thanks for the info on the date!

I was amazed at how well the medalion had held up if it was so old!

Early in my detecting career I had two or three 6 gold ring days!

I would say all three of these rings were there when I was working the area at the time and I missed them.

The silver ones are in too good a shape to have been there long.

I wanted to be sure that new hunters understand that this is a rare occasion and that more often than not I bring home a few clad coins and lots of junk!

Any day I can remove a fish-hook from this swimming beach is a great day too!

GL&HH to you Fellow hunters,

CJ
