Finaly after 4 years

budaf250 · Apr 13, 2016

After 4 years and thousands of pull tabs, bottle caps, and can slaw scraps. It happened 4.1 grams of 14k with a 1/2 karat diamond ring. I bet I looked as silly as the diggers doing my happy dance.

Thanks T-Man I thought it was never going to happen. I usually give up easy on gold. As the junk is very heavy on our beaches here. People think the beach is there personal dumping grounds. Metal detecting has made me aware of how bad we treat mother earth. And it makes me sick.

Thanks everyone. I now feel like I fit in now. I haven't posted many of my finds. But that will change from now on.
