Default 22K FAT BOY in the Scoop Tonight

I haven't had much time to hunt lately but I got back to Horseshoe Bay after work tonight to continue the hunt for the missing platinum band. After half an hour a young gent wades up to me in the water and introduces himself as the fellow who lost the platinum band. I get better directions about where he lost it and start hunting with the ringless hubby following me around. After half an hour of getting pounded by the surf he gives up to go play volleyball and I decide to head for greener pastures myself so I move down and get a faint signal. A few scoops deep I find the sweet 22K men's Ring pictured below and after a total of an hour and a half in the water I call it a night, a Good Night at that.
No Platinum yet but it will come.

Cheers,

BDA
