Absolutely gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest....water is getting warmer and the depositors are starting to show up .
Hit a location that I haven't hunted with my SNUBA (but have chest deep hunted it with a scoop), it is a lake beach area that is still popular with folks but has been around since the early 1920s. Honestly didn't think I would find much due to the weather just starting to warm up but I was hopeful.
Within a few minutes of my hunt I hit a very nice ring (love seeing the edge rim of a ring in the sand) but it turned out to be tungsten carbide ring (I could have swore that it would have been white gold) but within 30 minutes I got another nice tone and out came this is 10K beauty. Initially I thought it was a junk ring (with the same level of confidence I thought the first ring was white gold). But when I got out of the water and looked at the band I noticed a hallmark and confirmed the stamp 10K when I finally found my glasses at the truck!! Weighs out at 6.3grams...a solid ring with the onyx stone encased in the "yella".
Super awesome day for me, had my 19 year old with me as well (home from college) and he swam laps in the lake while I hunted....again a PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
HH all.
