Finally a Ring of some worth. I did cheat though as a guy I know asked me if I could look for his Wedding Band that he lost approx 14 years ago while out fishing in waist deep water. He showed me the spot and the next morning armed with my trusty Sovereign GT and a very low tide I gave it a go. Tuning the detector on the beach I got a signal and out popped a 1881 English 3 Pence, Cool, A good way to start the hunt. The target area was a low craggly reef that runs for a 100 meters or more out to sea . So of I went detecting as I go, couple of pieces of junk and 3 sinkers later I was in the target area and got a signal down between a largish crack in the reef. Bit of digging and moving the rocks and lo and behold there it was, His lost Wedding Band. I really didn't hold a lot of promise of finding it after such a long time with all the rough seas that you can get along this piece of coast but as we know Gold is heavy and it just stayed put, pretty much where he lost it. Took it to him and he was over the moon to get it back. So a happy ending all round, I got to find my first Gold Ring And he gets his Gold Wedding Band back after 14 years in the Sea.
