Gold in the "soup bowl" this morning at low tide

[lorraine]

Hi

Out early this morning to catch the low tide; hunted 2 1/2 hours.

Not much in the way of clads today.

Sanded in as far as the eye can see, so I carefully investigated selected areas looking for any sign of lowered sections which I think of as soup bowls...not so deep , but potential sites for accumulation of treasures....and I found a nice one....just one scoop in low tide mud.

At the edge of the "bowl" is where I heard a solid mid-tone and in one scoop recovered a University class ring which looked rich in color, and tested 16K with acid test kit; there are no K markings on the inside of the band.

Never found a 16K prior to today

I was happy to find this one.

Here's a couple of pics

Thanks for looking

Thanks, Detectahead.

It's the only decent blouse that I own; everything else is relaxed, shredded duds for the beaches

Cool- the coin looks silver too? I would have been happy with the fishing lure!

If I may ask(as if I didn't know),how many times did you take that out of your pouch and look at it??

GOD Bless

Appropriate question, Chris

At least 3...maybe 4 times while continuing to hunt; and again once when I got to the car to check for markings; once more on the way home at a long red stop light just to make sure it was still with me.

Also: put it in one pocket after initially recovering it; then changed it to a deeper pocket; then later to the zippered pouch.

I think my diagnosis is "obsessive -compulsiveness following state of shock" any meds for that?

Lorraine

p.s am I the only one who does this

oop...forgot one more time; took it out at another red light to wear it home.

Sounds like something we all do but many don't or won't admit it.

A couple years ago I found a really neat looking ring. I left the beach, driving down the road and looked in my pocket to admire it and it wasn't there. I was looking all around ( while driving ) and couldn't find it anywhere and was in a panic.

My hunting buddy was behind me so I stopped the truck and hailed him down. I asked him if he knows what I did with that ring. He replied, " yes, it's on your finger". Talk about feeling like an idiot.
