I did some hunting in the Caribbean earlier this month and scored a bunch of gold along with a nice assortment of silver, stainless, and coins. The majority of the gold was 18K and all the finds came from the water.

I found an interesting two tone gold ring. It consists of two gold rings, one white and one yellow, connected on a hinge. I have never seen anything like that before. Also notice the silver clunker that weighs in at 11.5 g and fits on my thumb.

HH everyone!

The ring you ars referring to, is that in first pic, top right? Like to see a closer pic, like interresting stuff like that. You cleaned up! How much time was involved? More than one beach searched? Night hunt, day? :headbang: :hello2:

Thanks! Yes, top right on the first picture. Check the last picture, of my favorites, where it shows a clearer shot of the same ring - row two, ring number 3 and 4. That is the ring opened up with both rings shown joined together - white gold on the left and yellow gold on the right.

As for the time - 10 days, perhaps 80 hours of hunting, lots of different beaches, mostly hunting during the day.

Hi Dew. I hear ya! And I did think about extending that trip. However I needed to get back to work and honestly, with that intensity of hunting, I was pretty worn out after 10 days. I work out on a regular basis but I have never done such prolonged hunting for that many days straight.

But, as Arnold would say, I'll be back. . . .
