Hi,

Another beautiful day...I just had to get out there .

Could only get out during the tide change, so no "muddy flats" hunting; instead, hunted the wet sand slope near a gentle sloping cut .

Hit the 14 K white gold within the first 10 minutes of detecting..that's always nice ; then about 5 minutes later while working the grid, up comes the 10K gold class ring with a diamond in the center..that's a first for me in class rings finds.

You just know that I was in near shock with these finds so close together.

Neither ring was deep...about 5 " down in the packed wet sand.I had that coil right down on the sand and was moving at a snail's pace.

Both gave off a mid-low, solid, focused tone , tenacious to the coil.

Here's some pics

Class ring's owner should be easy to track down.

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

Lorraine the FG hallmark on the 14k ring is from Frederick Goldman, an upscale jewelry maker and designer. I found one of his, too.

Thanx, Bob; I'd be in heaven too, if I was where Don is right now ; and we may get a "drizzle " of snow later today:protest:
