I scored an awesome wedding set! Holy cow!

That was until I got back to the PT cruiser and took a look at them with a loupe. Was dry sand hunting this morning. Waaay too many people on CWB so I headed to a more secluded beach. I was almost ready to leave when I hit on these with the sand shark. I saw gold before I scooped them up so I was hoping it was something good. When I shook the sand out of the scoop I was surprised to see not one but two rings. Then it hit me, this was a wedding set. I quickly stashed them in my pouch and started thinking about all the possibilities. Reward money!,wife would have a new set, blah, blah, blah. I don't hunt with my glasses so I headed back to the car to see what they were. When I looked through the loupe I saw the word "CHINA" DAMN! what a total buzz kill! I thought I was gonna have some bragging rights too. So I called the wife and we had a good laugh. But who in the world buys a crap plated Chinese wedding set? Oh well, still no gold for me in 2012.....

It is unfortunate for us that so many cheap nice looking fake rings and jewelry are being made nowadays, and that our coins are made out of cheap garbage metals. It gets you excited when you find a ring and it looks like something good only to find out it is not real but very fake. I dug a ring recently that looked good, it turned out to be a fake. It is nice to find some of the good stuff every once in while. Every hunt is exciting for me, but is more exciting when you find gold or silver. Better luck next time. HH
