Got out today for for the first time in a couple of weeks. Got to hunt for close to 3 hours and was having a good time. In the beginning I scored 2 Tungsten rings and the smaller one was one of those heartbeat rings. Do you know that Pandora sells those puppies for $150! Yikes
Anyway, my time on the sand was coming to a close and I was running out of beach so was time to head back. In the crest between to wash outs I get a tone on the NOX. I look at the reading.. solid 21 and I'm thinking "sheesh another freaking Lincoln". I was getting tired and mentally debated with myself on whether or not to dig. Well the pirate in me won telling this swabbie to dig so drove my scoop home, pulled it out thinking I'm in for another copper and in the scoop it a ring. I say to myself cool but the thing is reddish i color so I'm thinking it gotta be a copper ring.
I get home and put the loop on it looking for hallmarks and in very small but readable markings it says 14K! Oh Mama! I wasn't expecting that!
So for the day I came home with $7 in clad, a beat up Ladies Omega watch, a junk earring, 2 tungsten carbides and 7.1g of 14K rose gold. 7th gold for the year.
Stay safe out there everyone Happy Hunting and good luck.
