Well....they all can't be gold

I have a couple of days vacation after Christmas, so I thought I would give one of my favorite beaches a whirl. We had some decent swells yesterday, so I could definitely seem some sand had moved.

When I kicked the sand pile and saw a big fat goldie, I thought for sure I had a good one. However, once I picked it up, I knew that some was not right....just not enough weight. Sure enough, a big fat 18k ring....a big fat 18k gold plated crapola ring that is. The only "good" ring was a small .925er.

That's not a bad day. Any day you can get out and dog holes in the sand is a good day. 925 is not bad at all!

Congrats on the silver ring and the clad haul! Any ring always gets the heart pumping a bit faster.

Ooh, I hate when that happens. Good clad count though Jeff. I checked out several beaches yesterday and all had cuts from this week's surf.

with conditions the way they are herr in southern, southern CA, I'd be happy for a quarter haul like that. Reminds me of 2 yrs ago when you were guaranteed to at least pull 5 bucks in clad. Lately its pathetic and discouraging to even get out.

Sounds like a great way to spend a few days off regardless. Bet your heart was pounding though.
