Scoring those platinum rings last week lit the fire back up, made me want to hunt again
so I took advantage of the extra low tides this week to wade out to the location of a old swim platform the other day, a spot that's usually too far out to hunt...and had a fine outing, scoring vintage relics and scrap, a couple junk rings, some thin clad, 1903 Indian, a Buffalo, Merc, a pair of silver GW's...and 2 pieces of gold
the first one kept falling thru the holes in the scoop
a 14K school pin from P.S. 36 in NYC, with initials and dated 1930 on the rear...
The other piece of gold...I thought I was about to scoop another silver quarter by the super clean high tone, so I shook the mud and clay out, heard a rattle
...then looked in and about crapped my waders at the buttery brightness gleaming in the sunlight
This is a first for me, vintage English 22K...a buttery keeper of a ring
...Edik definitely approves of this hunt!
There's another old swim platform I think I can get out to during tonight's low That's all for this outing so as always, thanks for the looks, see you after the next...and Happy Hunting!
