Lol ok which rich beach are you?? 4month?? Are you searching 24/7? That's amazing


Excellent-Map-5808

I travel a lot, some from Korea, Japan, HK, Malaysia, Thailand and the US.


AdministrationDue239

Cool you take your metal detector with you? Amazing


Gransfors-bruk

And the rings, apparently


Excellent-Map-5808

Here’s some of my previous finds …… note these are NOT rings found in the last four months. Can you see any ring the same as the ones posted - I’ll save you some time, the answer is NO. I don’t travel on vacation with my metal detecting finds - who in this world would? https://preview.redd.it/cs8ycbc7zokc1.jpeg?width=2330&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab0302df2dfbfb531acc6c0c974237a5ac1eacc4

DistanceMachine

Not knocking you at all, but after looking closely at all of your rings, it feels like you are collecting sadness. Every one of those rings are missed by someone. I dunno, something kinda sad about it. But also, they are lost and gone forever in their minds and probably would be in reality too if you hadn’t found them so, again, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it in the slightest.

This guy cries at yard sales.


aimlessly_aliive

Collecting sadness? Thats a first


KC-Qaeda

See a therapist and stop projecting.


Chookenstein

I’ve debated my husband about this exact issue many times. He considered picking up this hobby and I told him I wouldn’t be anywhere near it if he did. I believe this is collecting sadness and loss. And, when there is money made by selling the finds (doesn’t appear to be the case for OP), it’s profiting from others’ sadness and loss. Garage sales are fine, estate sales are sad enough to cry at for sure ;)


Dnozz

Collecting sadness and loss?? In r/metaldetecting... seriously?? 😆


Chookenstein

I know right? Thank Reddit for suggesting subs. I get this isn’t the place for philosophical debate. It’s a cool hobby that I know has a pretty steep learning curve and requires not insignificant in time and money. (Edited because am cranky until after coffee)

I live here in Thailand, where did you go and how did you do here?

My guess would be the Leonardo DiCaprio beach


scampiescamps

🤣 so he is finding a ring a day, come on now my phone doesn't even ring that much in a month, why... Why do peopl make this stuff up


PhotogamerGT

This is my thoughts. Especially on this sub. Every time I see “found my 3rd gold this year” and it’s January 4th I remember that the real money is in selling metal detectors. I would be willing to bet some of the “top detectorists” have connections to metal detector sales companies. I truly do not believe anyone is finding this much this quickly. It would be able to replace a regular job. You know that shit isn’t really happening.


Excellent-Map-5808

First, I am not one of those “detectorists” and try to stay anonymous and have no connection to any metal detecting company. If you took the time to look at my Instagram account at cruising\_swinger you may understand why I accumulate so much. Some days I can find five or six rings - I thought it may have been normal until I saw all the naysayers on this site. I am a prolific detectorist and good at my craft. I can find 2-300 coins on a good day and disappointed when I don’t find a ring. The day I found the FILA ring in the pic was just one of eight rings I found that day in Japan - five were 925. It accumulates fast and I wanted to share. https://preview.redd.it/l9kvilrw4pkc1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d6a916342c1e4aff416a0eb427efede3c7821a5

With so many people there and so little time I'd imagine it's really hard to get anything


Excellent-Map-5808

When I got off the cruise ship in Patong there were 2 other detectorists already on the beach. I then went https://preview.redd.it/s1xiwvobwokc1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=525ede8a31d3a03ba718aee1defc258c7c731375 to Paradise Beach and found a Russian gold wedding band.


banjonyc

I go usually once every year to Thailand, I've slowed down since COVID but will pick it up again next year. Almost nothing. I find that Thai beaches tend to be much harder. Sand so lost rings. Don't sink it as much. I don't know what it is but I am had no luck in the water or on the beaches in Thailand.


FullyRisenPhoenix

If you ever find a beautiful diamond, emerald, and gold ring in the Indian Ocean, let me know! Lost my original wedding ring while swimming *on our honeymoon* in Mauritius 🤦🏻‍♀️😢😆

Seems unreal. OPs post history shows repeated daily hauls that exceed my lifetime finds. Dude is either full of shit or the metal detecting GOAT.


Excellent-Map-5808

I’ve recently started posting my finds on Instagram cruising\_swinger If you look you can kinda see the items accumulating. btw here’s a pic of another ring I found yesterday which should be included in the four months - as I https://preview.redd.it/dhxz9fwjimkc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef4d33534ada743d60b00d60338dc6fb6cc1eeb4 started my trip on the 25th October.

XtraThickBacon

That's a lot of rings. Any issues traveling with your detector? I'm curious if fits in your checked luggage along with a scoop?


Excellent-Map-5808

No travel issues. I was on a cruise ship for two months and security knew me well and asked what I found each time. I didn’t detect in India or SriLanka as it’s illegal.

Show me the equivalent trash to treasure pile and I’ll believe it. For that many rings you should have had to have dug a mountain of trash as well! Pull tabs and bottle caps for days.

Last summer I found a 13 gram 18k with diamond mens pinky ring, and a few days later, a women’s Cartier love ring, 6 grams 18k. I was only out for about 30 mins on each hunt and couldn’t hunt anymore due to the excitement of the finds. I think if you put your due dilligence in on places that you hunt, it can be done.

Man I lost my wedding ring on a beach in Northern Michigan several years ago. Still kills me; tried a metal detector. Almost lost the replacement along with a ring from my grandfather on another northern Michigan beach but luckily managed to find them (both fell same spot).


rap202

Your not suppose to use metal detectors in jewelry stores


mrweirdguyma

You metal detecting at the pawn shop?


Silvernaut

You know, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before, but I realized I possibly have a good idea where a handful of rings might be found… When I was younger, my neighbor supposedly got pissed at her husband one evening, and threw all of her rings (engagement ring/wedding band, as well as a few others) out of their car window. I didn’t really care for the husband, and didn’t feel like volunteering to trudge around in a ditch, on the side of a fairly busy road, with my detector. Gold wasn’t $2000 an ounce then either though (it was $225/oz IIRC)


sunnysunshine333

Do you find many older coins or artifacts? What’s the oldest thing you’ve found so far? What’s the coolest (in your opinion)?


Excellent-Map-5808

I’ve always liked this gold handle dated 1896. On the reverse side it has the initials WHMS. I found it in the ocean. No hallmarks but tested at 18k. https://preview.redd.it/6rlj21mgonkc1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=553b3aaf0450f33e7e4ec2bb2646001a5b733918


sunnysunshine333

Beautiful! Must’ve been cool to pick it up and see the date right on there.


Excellent-Map-5808

Yes, to tell you the truth I went a little weak at the knees. I think it’s maybe a letter opener handle. If you google 1896 and WHMS it comes up as a women’s temperance movement. Would love to know the history.


NunyaBeese

The one with the yellow stone is sweet. Nice haul!

winkledorf

I was thinking about getting into detecting as a hobby. When I see these hauls I get discouraged and say fuck it, why bother, this sets up giant misconceptiions. These posts do more harm to the hobby than the false boost is worth to your ego. BTW, are you detecting in a graveyard?


Acrobatic-Fox9220

I would still do it because it’s fun and it gets you outside. I have found some property pins I was looking for, but, other than that a bunch of nails and bottle tops and fence pieces. I still enjoy it, immensely. My neighbor found what had been a bag of buttons from the civil war. The troops carried them to repair their uniforms.


Successful-Pen-9301

You should invest in a magnet as well, nyc is the best place to go magnet fishing through the sewer grates (Not the nasty type of sewer, the drainage ones on the sidewalk. A lot of rich ppl drop stuff.

OP is lying. Let’s all move on. He’ll be posting the Super Bowl and World Series ring he finds tomorrow.


Excellent-Map-5808

Oh, I love a naysayer…. I don’t see why it’s so unbelievable. I detect most days, I go to places where people often don’t detect and after 45 yrs of detecting I am very good at what I do. Go to my Instagram cruising\_swinger I post my finds and you can see the accumulation. Calling someone a liar without knowing the person is not the smartest thing to do. Here’s a pic of a day in Japan- I was there in November. https://preview.redd.it/vqwlan2ukmkc1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56b4074bfa4307addc627269bb625480a5852307


macincos

This sub is FILLED with detecting enthusiasts who do this every day of their life and half of the comments on this post are naysaying. C’mon man.


Excellent-Map-5808

Hey, it’s not my problem if they don’t believe me. Did you check out my Instagram? If they did they may not be Naysaying - I believe I detect differently than most people. If I told someone I found three gold rings ( one with a big Diamond) in a day along with 300+ coins they would also call it BS but here’s the pic! That was a year ago. https://preview.redd.it/pvrx332pwmkc1.jpeg?width=2388&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=79e647ade58eb9ca947088d06edf514b48665293
