Went down to the same lake Mon. and got my third gold ring. Not bad for my fifth trip to the lake! Being new to water hunting, I'm still having some trouble pinpointing and am still doing all my digging with a hand scoop. Still can't figure out my long handle scoop. This was a 14 K sapphire ring with small diamonds! Already cleaned and checked out by my local jeweler. Thanks for all the help from you guys! Hope your hunting gets better with all your ventures! HH!
