Thought I was hallucinating when I saw this one in the scoop..haven't seen gold for

many a month!

Hi:hello:

Well, it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway....I MISSED ALL OF MY FRIENDS FROM THE FORUM!!!

These past months have been very hectic for me, but things are "cooling down" , so I'm able to get out for some hunting now.

Went to a "not so favorite" beach this morning and hunted at high tide starting with dry sand and working on down to the wet as the tide slowly receded.

Found a very thin silver "Roosie"...good start; then about 20 minutes into the hunt, the GT gave off a medium, but solid and focused sound...wasn't sure about the signal..this beach has tons of sinkers , but I dig all and was glad I dug this one..a 10K nice looking class ring.

It's been a long time since I scooped up gold, and I was so pleased to have found this ring.

Looks like "83" in pic, but with loupe it is definitely "63".

Here's some pics; thanks for looking

It's great to be back!

Lorraine

I have had too many weeks of digging clads and junk, lisfisher. The nice weather is finally here so I wish you the best; maybe I'll see you out there sometime.

It's really that much sweeter after a dry spell finding a nice few hefty chunks of gold and jewels in your scoop. Great job Lorraine.
