After Thanksgiving Day's rescue for the tourist on Miami Beach I was hungry for some yellow to keep. I decided to go to my beach today to work the 1:30 pm low tide. I was in the water hunting by 11:30 am. I saw some near shore erosion that I worked for a bit and then went back out a bit offshore. The targets weren't there so I headed inshore and found some more nice erosion in a big scalloped area of the beach that I rarely hunt. I decided to hit that area hard. The crusty "me" pennies kept coming along with some crusties of the other coins. It was somewhere during that time that I looked in the scoop and saw the nice yellow. 
I was pretty sure it was going to be good, and probably 10K, but I wasn't certain as I didn't discern any markings. (Who make a junk ring in a weird name anyway?) After 4 hours of hunting I headed home to catch the end of the Dolphins game and was glad to see them win! 
When I get home I clean the ring a bit and sand the back of the band. So far so good. I give it the acid test 10K holds...14K holds...18K doesn't. I weigh it and it's 5.3 grs. so it was a nice keeper.
