I haven't posted in a while but had to share this recent find.

I just got back from a cruise where I had been debating whether or not to bring my metal detector. My wife convinced me to bring it saying I would regret it if I didn't. It turns out she was right. The one and only good target I found was a 11+ gram 14K gold mens ring with 5 diamonds (total 1 carat). I found a web site with the ring selling new for $3,800.00. I posted a picture of the ring I found and the stock photo from the web site of the ring they have for sale. This was one time I was happy to admit my wife was right and I was wrong!

Very nice find! I had to literally sneak my Excalibur broken down in a small carry-on bag to carry on a cruise! Of course the wife saw it at the security checkpoint and wasn't real happy! :dontknow:
