More SDC 2300 water hunting finds

[Gary Drayton]

I got very lucky yesterday morning, shallow water hunting outside several small local beach entrances. I found gold and silver jewelry at the first three sites I walked to, then at the last one I hit the jackpot. Working the sand bar slope when I got a subtle change in the threshold, a few scoops later
I was quite happy I chose to wear my brown shirts. The target turned out to be a platinum ladies ring with 1.5 carat diamond!! I am going to get this baby appraised and post the value. The three gold rings before this find are, 18K wedding band, 18K white gold with ice and small 10K with ice.

Thanks for posting.

Your gonna excite a few of the guys on here.

Very nice finds. I am impressed.

For educational purposes though you should show the amount of trash you find as well.

You got that right, it was an education digging a ton of trash, hard to believe how much junk is in the ocean close to shore.

Thanks for sharing Gary.

I think the 8" coil is perfect for water detecting due to the lack of water resistance
compared to a larger coil.

Is there a way to discriminate?

Nice finds Gary.

Just in case you are unaware of it you don't want to fall foul of the theft by finding laws in Australia, they take it very seriously.

Anything of value like Rings that are found need to be handed into your local Police. Just remember to get a receipt for them. They will advertise them and try to find the owner. After 90 days they are yours if unclaimed.

Cheers,

Grant
