"SOMETHING ELSE I'VE NOTICED,IN MY "JUST BROWSING"TRIPS:SOME OF THE NICE THINGS,FOLKS ARE WEARING INTO THE WET:Watches,rings,some real nice necklaces,and bracelets...


yep, there still wearing it. a girl came up to me the other day and said she just lost her tiffany ring out in the shoulder deep water and if i find it later more power to me. she had another on her thumb and said its just like this and continued to swim without removing it. i have also seen people remove things after seeing me, or check there stuff to see if they still have it and continue to swim.
thats one reason. i prefer to hunt at night, i dont want to advertise to large crowds what im doing.
all this being said..., i cant figure out why im not finding much at all!!! a few junk jewelry items each time out is pretty much it. the only thing i can figure is that it is sinking out of range very fast due to the waves and sanded in conditions, i hunt with a cz20,cz6a,excal and there are plenty times where i know i am the first one in.


anyway........there still wearing it and loosing it!

Yes they are. Been checking out alot of bling people are wearing into the water. Once in a while I will strike up a conversation with a very nice person and advise them its not the best thing to be wearing their wedding band in the water. I don't do this often as I enjoy finding rings, but wedding bands are a very personal thing, and people that are very kind to me I like to give them a little advice. For those I have advised they were very appreciative, thanked me, and wished me success in my hunting. Mostly this is much older people and chances are they have been married for a long time. I believe all acts of kindness are rewarded...if even just a smile and a heart felt thank you.
