Only a couple of small jobs today that allowed me to scout another section of beach where I have found rings in the water before.
3 hours in I had a silver quarter and toe ring and over a dollar in coins including a well worn buffalo. Yesterday I changed the ear pads on Mr. Dual Field and found I was able to better hear those small, iffy signals and most of my finds were deep in the sand giving this Old Hunter, Mr.DF and Diablo a real workout!
At about the 3 hour mark a faint signal resulted in a 14K wedding band in my sifter!!
Not 15 Minutes and 35 feet later an even weaker signal resulted in another 14K wedding band back to back with the last one!!!!!!!!!!

10.2 Grams total!! (One ring has the year 1953 inscribed in it!)
Most of the hunt I was being lifted off my feet and moved away from my targets by large ground swells a foot and more taller than I am that were breaking at the water's edge and struggling to dig targets under those conditions.
4 hours in, with 36 targets recovered, I had to call it quits or get tossed on the beach by Old Ma Nature!!
