Today was a great day! But it sure didn't start out that way. I went to a new beach that I just got permission to go to. After about an hour I had 2 pennies and a couple pull tabs to show for my time. I was seriously thinking about leaving. Now I'm glad I didn't!
The good finds started with the sterling necklace at at least 6-8 inches deep in the sludge. It was just a whisper, but I'm glad I persisted to get it!
Then the huge sterling band came out. It fits around my thumb. Then a minute later I got that fancy sterling ring with the 3 stones in it. Then I got the 10k White Gold ring with 3 small diamonds in it.
All of those last jewelry finds came on the edge of where it was too deep for me to stand. I am 6'4" and was up to my chin trying to dig targets while boats zoomed by causing a wake and it was a steep slope. Needless to say, I left a couple of good signals out there because I just couldn't reach them with my scoop.
Then I got the 3rd silver ring of the day. And on my way out of the water came that tiny 14k Gold band.
I also finished the day with $5.31 in clad. If it wasn't so far away I would be going back ASAP, but it's a fairly long drive, so I probably won't be back there until next year.
I also had a water snake circling me for a few hours.
And now the pictures!
