First time out

Post by darryl »

So I acquired my Garret 250 just before lock down and today was my first time out down one of my local beaches, I had to turn down the sensitivity on the wet sand but on the shingle was no problem.
Along with a few ring pulls a car key I found gold with twinkling diamonds!!!

Custom jewellery.....but hey my first ring [54/]

Took me around 15 years to find a gold ring, and that was found around 5 years ago, none since, to find a ring of any sort on your first attempt is pretty good going, well done.

What a fab find on your first time out. I found a gold ring the second time out with my bounty hunter. Thought, wow this is easy 😀. Took me ten years to find another ring lol. Enjoy and hope your luck continues.

3rd time out at the same local beach, tried a couple of other beaches with just a few pence, I'm learning the sounds and false pings from my 250, the ring is marked 925 so silver and I'd like to think crowned with diamond's.... Well they twinkle but so does glass.. at least its shinny!!
