Yeah, agreed..Stainless Steelies absolutely suck the royal Razzoulli! We hunt a lot of docksides up here and get the SS washers and nuts all the time. But thats what a guy can expect in that location...pulltabs, splitshots, SS washers and nuts, various other dockside gold tone junklings......But a guy accepts the situation and goes into 'dig it all' mode, works the numbers...doesn't take it personal...
You know whats worse than SS rings/washers/nuts though? TUNGSTEN RINGS!! Especially ones found in a swimming area far away from any dock! Nice deep cut, no pulltabs or washers, just greenies and lead weights, old brass swim suit buckles...The perfect Gold bearing strata! For all this risk and effort, I DESERVE to pull a big gold Ring! I'm in the bullshark feeding trough at dinner time, I got the right gear, I'm committed to this relationship and put in the time! I paid to park even! Dammit!
Those damn Tungstens hide right where a big Gold ring SHOULD be...They sound so succulent in the tone and clanging around in the scoop! They feel so heavy on the pick out, feel so smooth and sultry! Completely trick a guy and can send a fellow into an uncontrollable verbal rage!!
A guy says to himself: "YES! There you are! I got you! You picollo player! WooHoo! You are massive!" Then, upon furthur inspection, wastes time getting a look, just for a really major let down! "Tungsten?.... "DAMN YOU UNIVERSE!!!" (Uncontrollable Swear string following!) "I did everything right, and you are a Tungsten?" "If I wanted to find Tungsten I woulda went to the hardware store and bought a $2 drill bit!!"
People who buy bastard metal rings with no comprehension or respect for Gold's intrinsic value really frost my biscuit! Some of these Tungstens retail for what a Gold one would have!..So why in the hell would a guy buy a Tungsten Ring? It makes no sense at all!
Still, a guy should attempt to get control over their emotions and vocabulary, in case there are any kids around, Tungsten Rings found in a swimming area is the ultimate test......I once killed a whole flock of migrating geese with a particularly virulent and caustic string of Tungsten Ring swears....wiped out some old Willows in one swim area as if they had bit hit with a full tank dose of the verbal equivalent of Agent Orange...
Its well known that Gold is a cruel Mistress, Tungsten is Her ugly Booger eating Sister...I can see where some smarter guys just say "Screw it!", simplify their Life and slam totters for clad....Too much Tungsten will do this to ya...Stainless Steel Rings will too...
The feeble minded will always go after the Gold! You cant discourage the ignorant! They simply dont know any better! The Powerball Lottery proves this fact!....For the rest of us? I mean hey, chasing and capturing a booger eating Sister is better than nothing at all? At least we have something in common?...
