Was having a great time last Friday at the beach, no real concern about Irma. Being a FL.Native I should of known better, but have gotten too complacent with my," yawn, just another hurricane" attitude. To my defense, Pinellas County, aka Tampa Bay has not received a direct hit since 1921, but that one did create some major passes we use today. By Friday night I was feeling the pressure and on Saturday morning in major house prep mode. Got through it ok ,thanks to her land fall farther South, but have been without power since late Sunday night and have some heavy yard clean up to do.
On Friday's hunt, I scooped up 8 rings. One 14k/with a diamond ( It's white gold but looks gold in the pics), five silvers and two junker toe rings... Two of the four toe rings are silver and one ring appears to have an opal. Also &2.37 in coin and a bunch of lead. This hunt was after Harvey had stirred things up with some pretty good size rollers & breakers that made their way over to our coast all week.
>>> after the silver rings dried out, I hit them lightly with a screw driver handle to get most of the crust off and then in the tumbler for a few hours.
This mornings low tide hunt was just a few hours and only on the beach slope since the water is still too ruff. Lots of greenies in coin and green seaweed on the beach. probably would of done better if all that seaweed was raked up...maybe would of gotten a little gold. All the jewelry is junk, but at least the $6.28 in coin is real
