Wow! What a hunt. South Bay? We're not finding much in Santa Cruz... everything seems sanded. You certainly found a sweet spot! I've seen two of those "ugly" T&CO rings tonight and now I covet one... oh wait, what Commandment was that? Bless me Father for I have sinned... there... I feel better!
Any idea what the blue stone is? Topaz? The color is very rich... The darker the better!
Man that is one powerful hunt! I wish we could find that many targets downhere. Targets are scarce not to mention all the sand. We all could use a bit of beach erosion. The gold is here, but then so is the depth of sand!
Congrats.
