I spent 2 - 3 hours detecting a city beach this morning enjoying the early hour while
following the tide down. I had hit this beach last weekend and hoped there just might be more
goodies to find. Sure enough a few coins and two rings surfaced and I drove home with the Got Gold Grin.

Sacrebleu when I got home and put the glass on the gold ring I find STG HGP!!!!!
Damm it - plated silver. Grrrr.

All good fun but. :-)
