Late night madness produces 9ct white gold !!
I must be crazy!!
last night I decided to catch the 2:57am low tide.
For those of you who dont know, the tides have been at their lowest for a while, and make for great detecting. So I just had to make the most of it. After a mere 2 hr sleep I headed down to the beach at 1am, hugely sleep deprived .
Staggering down to the beach, I proceeded down to the water line which was about 150 mtrs away from my car, only to find that my detector batterys were flat, s**t.. so after heading back to the car for a fresh set of batteries and fending of the local saturday drunks, I was back into it.
I proceded to work the surf line, digging plenty of targets with a ratio of 80% keepers and 20% trash.
Just after 3am - bingo a ring! With excitement I bent down, only to be disapointed to discover it was stainless steel, bugger! I proceeded to pluck a few more coins out of the sand and then I leaned down into my next hole to pick out what I thought was yet another coin... only to have my finger slip into a ring!, yes a ring! - a beautiful 9ct white gold wedding band, a feeling I never tire of :).
