Went camping this last weekend to a big high mountain lake :lol:

This particular beach is a nice sandy crowded location. Too many people for my taste, stayed in the water during the crowded time and came back and hit the dry sand in the late evening when nobody was around!

Not a lot of targets in the water, went mouth deep and worked my way back to shore, not doing a good job at shoreline due to the crowds there.

Found a whopping 49¢ - 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 3 Cu cents and 1 Zn cent, an Allen wrench, a junk hand turquoise charm, and a few bits of trash/junk.

Later in the dry sand, got this nice 925 ring with what looks like abalone shell, a 9mm shell, a couple shower tokens, two hot wheels, $2.08 in clad and that’s about it.

Been awhile since I’ve found silver so it was welcome, no gold though, darn it!

You found a Hamsa too! Is it not silver with turquoise?
 
Nice score, Jeff. I need to get a decent scoop and hit some watering holes while it's still hot...

Keep it up!
 
Silver is silver, and a ring..... ;)

Thanks V!

Thanks for Id’ing that little piece Felix. It’s not silver, least it isn’t marked and doesn’t look like it. It’s like it was on a wire strand or something.

Hey thats still a nice ring. Nice job.

Thanks SS!

Nice ring and there's nothing wrong with clad. Good work!

Thanks Dirty. Yeah the clad helps. Was surprised there wasn’t more, it I didn’t spend the day there either. I’m sure I left some goodies.

That ring looks pretty cool Jeff, I'd be happy with that hunt for sure, congrats!

Thanks Jeff :)

Thanks Jeff. There’s time left for sure, I ended up with a medium Whites hexscoop, it’s a good scoop but probably should have bought a stealth :lol: this one does well in wet and dry sand, not so good in hardpacked clay.

Congrats on the silver GS! No cleaning required either. :yes:

Thank you Compass!

Great hunt, GS!

Thanks Diggum!

Better than being skunked

True dat!

That's a pretty one, looks old too, Congrats!

Thank you Ron. It fits my wife and she’s now in possession :lol:

Congrats on the nice assortment of finds, especially the ring!

Thank you Jak!

Appreciated Charlie, thanks!
 
Good you got out and got a ring GS!
