A Quick Shallow Water Hunt

[UtahRich]

I had about 90 minutes for this shallow water hunt - No gold this time, but did manage a pair of silver rings. The smaller is .925, the larger of the two with the opal is unmarked but appears distinctly silver and it quite a looker. The dark wedding bands are tungsten carbide, one with koa wood. My collection of the tungsten carbine / stainless steel rings is growing and growing. Ugh.

It was nice to get out for a bit. Hoping to get back out with the 800 and try again later this week.

Definitely fresh water - long drive from my house to the ocean. We do have the Great Salt Lake - but with the Western drought, it has diminished significantly.

Thanks for the comments. Very True . . that's a good way to look at it.

Hank - that brings a smile to my face. Reminds me of that British series, The Detectorists.

I appreciate the offer, but i already have 1287 versions of that particular style - March 1972 / February 1974 - Pepsico x-wide flange, 12 fl oz can. . Pretty sure you can sell it on Ebay though. They buy anything on Ebay. LOL

Nice Rich! Those Tungstens are getting to be more and more common. Sure makes the silvers feel more special when you get'em.
