I had hunted on Thursday and found 2 silver rings, a silver earring and a crappie knock off brand cellphone (“Honor” brand 
). I really had no intention of heading out again on Friday. Yesterday, the sky was gorgeous, and I had the wife working out of the home to take care of the sick granddaughter, which I had already done grandpa duty on 2 other days, so it was a no-brainer to get out of the house again with Merlin. 
I arrived to beautiful blue skies and a flat surf. This time I worked in the opposite direction. I found a small area that was giving up greenies. It is here, at about the 2 hour mark, that I got my second silver-colored ring. However, I think it may have been white gold – but I wasn’t sure since I couldn't make out the inside markings. (I mention this for later…). I was really enjoying this hunt. At about the 4 hour mark, I was facing the sun when I looked down and saw something glimmering on a twiggy looking thing. I ran the Excal’s coil over it and it made no response. I then scooped it up and 
. I could not believe it! 
How that happened is beyond me. I then put the coral thingy back in the water and ran over the scoop again. I was now sure it was going to be gold due to the lack of response. If it were silver or another crap metal it would’ve sounded off.
After 5 hours, I was done and headed back to my truck. I took off the carabiner to examine the 2 rings I had placed on it. One problem though. The second ring that I thought may have been white gold was missing. I searched everywhere in my parking area and inside my truck. I don’t know if I lost it there, or possibly earlier in my hunt, when I took it off the carabiner to try and read the marking, and then maybe did not secure it correctly. Although it should’ve been a silver designed ring, I had a feeling it may have been gold. Needless to say, I was very perturbed at this. 
I did notice the “10K” marking on the chain so at least that was good. By the way, I tested the Nox at home on the chain and it also didn’t pick it up. I was happy to add another gold to the totals and can’t wait for the end of these King Tides.
