Went with Ken this morning to the local Bling Bling Beach. The day started slow with only 4 junk ear rings and a few coins.. Ken found a nice stainless steel Dad's ring and I found a 5.6gr. 10kt ladies bracelet. Later into the hunt I dug deep for a target which was about 24 inches down, I almost gave up thinking it might be a can. When I looked in the scoop my eyeballs almost popped out , wow!! I dug a 19.1gr. 14kt. gold ring with 95 diamonds. What a monster of a ring!!

Even after all the things and rings you've found I can't imagine what it felt like to see that monster rolling around in the bottom of the scoop.
