Yup..I gave up the Federrer/Djokovic semi-finals to head out in search of treasures....got back home in time to see Djokovic pull off a stunning victory :headbang:

Sooooooo, the tide was receding as I hunted the dry sand.

Decided to hunt an area where there were huge truck wheel indentations from working clean-up from Irene. Not my favorite type of terrain because it is not so comfortable walking among those sand moguls, but I gave it a try ...looked kinda promising...Glad I did. :icon_sunny:

Found the 14 K white gold /yellow gold band (4.07 gms) at about 5 " depth, and about 5 minutes later, the sterling ring was found...also not deep.


I think the sterling ring is custom made. I like the turquoise stones.

Tomorrow are the Open finals.....hmmmmmmm. :icon_scratch:

Here's pics


As always, thank you for looking

Lorraine
