Went for a quick early morning hunt at Karma beach before work, was raining cats and dogs for most of the time really flattening out the swells but making a racket on the headphones. :stormy: The only time I wished I had a conical hat :lol:

Worked on trying to thin out some more of the trash and iron while trying to locate and follow the diminishing hunt-able hard pack.

Got onto an area just a bit smaller than a volley ball court and dug everything in all metal getting onto some faint whispers that turned up silver and clad. Got a real faint just a slight bump in the threshold and a few scoops later out popped yellow!!! with a little bling. Felt like the sun was out after that :tropical:

No stamp on it, looks like it's hand made possibly from India, tested ok for 18K. The first ring I've found that would look better without the bling :D

Most of the day's finds came from that one area. Might hit that area with the DF next hunt :raining:


Total for the 4 hour hunt:
18K 4.2g
6 silvers
29 coins

Thanks for viewing

Oops a bit short on nickel coins to tumble the silver, they came out half done.

G your a machine. Most on here don't understand the digging conditions in Japan, they only see the fruit of your labor. 4 hours before work in Japan is like 16 hours on a beach in Florida!

Great ring by the way! lol
 
funny title.:lol:
that ring looks cool, never seen a design like that before. almost looks like the holes for the diamonds were punched out by hand tools.
 
Geez 18, that's a pile of trash! You f@ckin' WORK for it. Gotta agree, that cheddar would look much better without the rocks.

:lol: swinging all day kills me, if I'm swinging more than 10% of the hunt it's a slow day :lol: Knowing I only had 4 hours I was going full speed in heavy trash, move the coil a bit dig, then another bit and dig :lol:
Work's easy, it was staying awake that was a real challenge :D

Thanks R5, when I'm digging I'm in the zone time flys by like nothing else it's when I'm walking off the beach I feel it :lol: oh yeah and at work after :lol:

Nut uh! 16 hours on the beach in Florida gets you 8 pennies :) (right now anyway)
 
maybe the diamonds will be high quality... I wouldn't be surprised

Thanks for the comments Guys and Gal much appreciated

The ring tests ok for 18K as DashHopes said Ka-Ching :grin:
The bling was too small Steve could have been the highest grade but size counts :lol:
