Default Todays Cocoa Bch...Gold Ring Bling !!! :)

Hey Peps..

I thought I'd share today's finds from Cocoa Bch, Fl with y'all..

After a long tiring stressful week of caring for my Grandparents I was able to make it back in town to for low tide..

The weather report called for 20-30 mph winds with thunderstorms today .. Boy did they get it wrong... We had some wind but no rain.. Thankfully..

I ran into another beach pirate . "Ron" who seems like a really nice guy.. We talked for awhile.. But then off we went..

I plucked 2 nice keepers from the Rip Current today..

One of them is a 10K Opal w/diamond specks, The other 14K with small diamond Baguettes..
Not bad considering... that I was reluctant to go to the beach after hearing about all the thunderstorms that were going to take place today...

Walking around the beach in a thunderstorm carrying your own personal lightning rod isn't very sharp. I'd bet that forecast kept a lot of hunters away from the beach.
Very Nice, Gold and Ice.

Cheers,

Nice rings! That opal looks great.
I'm heading to FLA for my first beach hunting this Friday. I hope there's a couple of rings like that waiting down there for me!

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!
