I'm Baack! LOL


Just return from a weeks vacation in Playa Del Carmen Mexico, and it was a nice one indeed. a few interesting things happened during my trip as you will be able to tell from my pictures :D


All told I found 5 Rings, 3 Gold & 2 Junkers.... But, my best find was some woman I've known for about 10 years now as we finally tied the knot while we were there :)


One of the Rings was a 10K Panda ring with a Building on the Back and the other Ring I kept was a nice Men's Orange Blossom 14 K Wedding Band.
The 3rd Gold Ring is not shown as I gave it back to the guy I found it for...Tim in Idaho, as he had just lost it as I was wrapping up my day hunting along the shoreline. he lost it crawling back to the beach and asked me to help as his wife stormed off mad as "H E Double L"(GIGGLES). after about 20 minutes I finally was able to locate it in a rough tide about 20 ft from the shore (it had moved that much), so all ended well for him and for myself as well as I felt good returning my first ever Ring, and a Gold one at that.... and it was an honker of a wedding Ring (I was unable to get a Picture).


So, now I'm back in the States :'(...But! I hunted today, and I have some more awesome treat's to share with you tomorrow, but for today, here is my best finds from our vacation to Playa Del Carmen, along with about 20 bucks in Euro's, Thanks for looking, Mr & Mrs. DirtDiga

It was this trip, except for the last day...go figure, LOL

We stayed at the Sandos Caracoal Eco Resort & Spa, that's where we also had our Wedding. the water was choppy almost the whole trip which made it hard to pin point targets. my scoop was unless because the Sandos had nothing but rocks, and I mean a ton of Rocks (Horrible if your into Sand only). almost too many IMO

I didn't get time to hunt anywhere else because of time constraints. one thing I did buy just for this trip because I knew what I was kinda getting into as far as the Rocks were concerned was a Waterproof Vibra Probe which was essential. I only used my Scoop to keep my balance in the surf, so it played a important part, just not the way it was intended to be used though... Thanks All for the nice comments, Diga

Thanks, no I didn't know that Panda was a Coin, I just thought it was made that way... gotta go check it out.

I was too pumped up about that Orange Blossom Ring, which I saw was pretty sought out by people now. I would wear it, but I'm stuck with white gold now since my Woman's Ring is White gold, ;(

Thanks for the info, Diga
