<p><strong>A cold wind was blowing from the north as I entered the sea at 6:45 am.</strong> The sun was just peeping above the horizon. The usual morning joggers and a few worse for wear young things still coming out of the night clubs disturbed the tranquillity of the fresh air.</p> <p>I stepped into the sea and shivered as I was wearing a shortie wet suit. I made my familiar start off down the shore line up to my waist in water. The CTX 3030 chirping every now and again.</p> <p>Picking up a few coins. The first better find was a steel wedding band.</p> <p>At one edge of the beach is a area of rocks out in the sea. By the time I had got there it had taken me an hour to work the first part of the shore.</p> [split] <p>As it moved into the rocky area, the detector was singing almost every step, lots of coins, a bit of chain, Jesus from a pendant, a brass bracelet and an old crusty ring.</p> <p>As I was now in deep water up to my chest I came across another good target 12:20 on the display. It took several digs of my scoop to retrieve it. When I first saw it I thought it was silver and the ID might have been confused with another object. I put it in my finds pouch and checked area but no other target.</p> <p>I was starting to get cold by now I had been in the sea for almost 3 hours so I worked my way back up the beach to shallow water and back towards my car. On route finding some more coins.</p> <p>When I got home unpacked my finds and cleaned them off. I have a tumbler for coins and silver if tarnished.</p> <p>I decided to test the big ring but to my surprise it was not silver, so I checked on my gold tester (I have an electronic gold tester and acid tester). On both it came out a clear 18 carrot white gold. Weight of 20 grams. To say I was happy was a bit of understatement.</p> <p>My best find ever. Mind you it took hours for me to thaw out. And where there is one ring, there is always more.</p>
