After watching the rough surf last Sunday, and seeing it was rough most of the week, I was elated that the surf calmed down enough for a water hunt with Merlin early this Saturday morning. I was expecting many more targets than I got but halfway through the hunt on my return point, I noticed an elated ridge along the beach with a very, very subtle scallop. Enough to be missed by most, but since I go there regularly, I noticed. A few greenies started coming and I lost the signal on one. I believe it had come out of the scoop. As I am moving my detector around trying to relocate it, I pick up a very sweet-sounding mid-tone on the shore break. Two scoops in and I see at the bottom of the scoop amidst the rocks, shells and pebbles, a silvery looking ring - too thick to be a pull-tab. I pluck that baby up and noticed the beautiful glistening diamond ring with some weight. I look inside the ring and see 14K! 
A few minutes later I would look again and notice distinct “18K”. The 2 other silvers and the junk ring came in this 20-yard patch and all within 30 minutes. The silver ring is unmarked but the pavé diamonds test real and the emeralds go up on my diamond tester so they’re good as well. The other silver ring is marked “MEX” and says “Smooth”. At home, I weighed the white gold ring at 3.1 grs and it is indeed “18”. Another great hunt in my book!
