Default Beach silver & Gold

Due to computer issues I haven't been able to post.... So Now I'm back up and running..

I thought I'd share my finds from the past 2 days with you all..

On Wednesday I headed out to Melbourne Bch for a few hours.. and Picked up a Stainless Steel Wedding Band and a Gold & Diamond watch along with about $6.00 clad....

I retrieved the ring in the water and the watch from the sand the clasp was opened on the watch and I found it next to a depressing in the sand where someone must of been laying around....


Then on Thursday I headed out to Cocoa Bch, Fl

I arrived there about 12:30 and within the first 20 minutes I found 2 silver rings... just before the water line..

Then I ran into a TNet member "Teklord" and talked with him for a little while.. Really Nice Guy !!!

He told me that he found a School ring and and I said it sure would be nice if I found some gold today myself...
Someone must have been listening because about 1/2 hr later I found a 10K Gold wedding band, Thigh high in the surf along with about $5.00 clad..

I sure had a workout using my Beach Brute Scoop.... I'm going to take Teklords advice and add an additional handle to this scoop... 'Cause it is a Brute...

the Scoop works great in the Surf... No complaints at all.... But when I'm in the Wet sand where theirs no wave action I find myself heading to the water to rid the sand from my scoop....

Same goes for going from wet to dry sand... it's a Pain in the A$$ sifting.. Until the scoop is completely Dry..

all finds were found with Excalibur 1000...

She keeps perfect time... even though the gold and diamonds aren't real but it looks brand new with a nice mother of pearl inlay..

I looked it up online and it sells for in the $179. Range.... and ofcourse

it's easy come easy go... I showed it to Moms and she put it on her wrist and asked, what I was going to do with it And you know what happened after that... it was lost again... If you like it you can have it..
