Another South Florida water hunting keeper in the scoop this morning, 1/2 ounce of 18K Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby and 26 diamonds. The original site I had chosen had three guys already in the water, but plan B worked out just fine. I was in the house all of 5 minutes before the wife confiscated the ring for safe keeping.

It looks to me to be a 12 - 27 at about 12" deep with that weight....... Papa Okay Gary let us have the numbers if you can get it off your wife's finger long enough to do that..... Lol Papa

12-27 was a lucky guess. Unfortunately, I have not found any 12-27s yet, but by the size and weight, I figured it would come in rather high on the gold conductive scale, but with being 18k, it would be not as high as a heavy 10k school ring.... Beautiful ring , Gary. I need to find a richer place to hunt. Of all the gold I have ever found, I have only one 18K. Man, you find them two at a time.... Awesome, Beach Papa
