Needed a Little Water Therapy Tonight:detecting:

[bdahunter]

It was a rough Monday on the job today and I came home this evening feeling pretty stressed out. Nothing destresses me better than a walk in the water with my detector so I decided to get in a short hunt before dinner. Low tide was at 1810 so I gave my princess a kiss and got myself down to Horseshoe Bay to see what the surf had stirred up.
A volley ball tournament was in full swing when I hit the beach but I headed straight for the water rather than spend my time oggling the pretty young things. Still quite a few people swimming at 1830 so I checked out my favorite spot but found nothing but a little clad and a bus token. 1950 - As the crowds started to leave with the setting of the sun and dropping temperatures I moved into a busy area that had never produced much before but I had a hunch based on the way the sand seemed to have shifted since yesterday. I found a couple of nickels, a pop lid and then I hit this nice ticket.

14k yellow band with hammered white gold inlay - about 18" deep

I headed home for dinner and a celebratory beverage 'Rocket Fuel' (1 oz. each of rum, teguila, gin, a 1/2 oz. of cointreau and sprite, all poured over a glass of ice); I felt nice and relaxed after that.

Cheers,

BDA

PS: I was running the Excal silent and deep.

A little gold is always good for the sol

No open flames nearby and consume limited quantities only. No more than 3 or 4 anyways.

Hey BDA,

You may want to take a real close look at the markings. My wedding band is the same style, except it is 18K yellow gold and hammered platinum, not white gold. May be worth it to double check.

Nice find! I'm still waiting to find my first non-nitro ring.

On the next scoop the signal almost completely disappeared and I thought that it was a big pulltab that had been washed out of the hole by the surf. Checked the perimeter and nothing, checked the hole again and a faint signal, got back to digging and the big hit was back on the next scoop. Scoop number 5 produced that beautiful yellow glow that we all love to see.
I must have spun the ring on end with the second scoop full. Always interesting to hunt the surf, just 3 foot swells last night.

Cheers,

BDA
