Major bling! 14K ring with 60 diamonds!
Hadn't been beach hunting in the longest time. Finally got it going around 2 weeks ago. Had Thur / Fri off so I was able to hit low tide on the south AND north shore. Picked up a 14K ring last night with 60 diamonds... sure looked like the real deal. The pics don't do it justice. This afternoon I took it to a jewelry store where a friend of mine works. The diamonds tested positive; estimated total is 1.2 carats. A guestimate on the value is at least $1,000. My wife is VERY happy
It's getting sized.
There's also some pics of a couple of rings I've found in the last 2 weeks or so. The two silvers were dug in the dirt...

Like the way you displayed it, I gotta get better with my camera!
Where you hunt at, you mentioned north and south shore? No need to get "too" specific as to the location. 
I wasn't hiding... just been very busy at work, gone back to night school at the age of 52 and then there's life in general. Been digging dirt mostly and only recently gotten back to the beach. As far as a water machine is concerned I tried hunting "the mine" at the beach once so far with the CZ20 but I don't like getting beat up by the waves and I'm not a good swimmer
