Silver, Gold, Diamonds And Gemstones. My SC Trip Was Great. (Updated) Again
Hey Everyone,
I'm back from my trip. Man 10 days away from the forum was a long time.
I had my ups and downs through out the trip. Everything was going great almost.
Friday my son got shots in the day. That night right before we were about to leave he starts throwing up in my house. Not to gross you out.
Just telling it the way it was. I also had to rush out to the car rental place. They were open till 1 am and I got there at 12:30. It was at the airport also.
Finally the car was packed and we headed out of the burgh. Things were going great until about 5:00 a.m when I got my first speeding ticket.
It was in Virginia. Man there brutal down there. 93 in a 65 and the officer wouldn't cut me any slack.
I'm a negative type of thinker so in my head the trip was ruined already.
I bounced back and let it go. Figured I'd deal with it when I got home.
We finally get there the next day. Me and my brother were excited to start hunting. It was his first trip to the ocean ever.
It was a nice really clean private beach. A little to clean. Hits were far few and in between.
There was alot of interference around the area. Once I played with my unit and got it right were I wanted it was fine.
The competition was brutal. 10 hunters a day on the beach. But not to be mean I saw alot of bad detecting habits in every one of them.
Before I knew it I was Bsing more than I was hunting. I actually was teaching guys how to hunt.
I knew everyone after just a few days. Met alot of nice people from my area in P.a here.
After about 3 mourning's with just some clad a few relics and a couple fake rings I hit the good one.
It just washed in early mourning on the tide line. Got a solid foil hit and dug a really awesome saphire and diamond ring. It has 18 diamonds in it.
The stone in the center has to be about a 3/4th carat. It looks to be genuine and not synthetic. It's also set in 14kt.
I was really happy with it. And it helped forget about the ugly ticket at home waiting for me.
My brother did well but was disappointed that he didn't get any gold.
One evening before dinner we decided to go back out for a 1.5 hr hunt.
I get out there and within 5 minutes dug a womens watch over 12 inches deep. I was getting some serious depth.
I then got caught up talking with people for the whole hunt. I dug maybe 5 holes total.
The guy I was talking with said you better find a few more rings to pay that ticket off.
Not 10 minutes later on our way back to the condo I dig the large 10kt white gold ring. It has 6 diamonds in it and a giant over a carat pink stone in it.
My brother was really hating me then. I don't know I just have that luck I guess.
I also found a really old silver ring. I couldn't get the right pic for you all on it. It was heavily tarnished and looked to be the style of rings I have found that are around a 100 yrs old.
I got more pics of when the stuff came out of the holes on the beach. I need to get the film developed. I will update this post later in the week.
I also found the smallest silver and CZ charm I ever saw. I can't explain everything so just feal free to ask me.
Glad I am back. I'll miss it but I'll get back down there. I could make some really great finds if I was close to a beach.
Hope you all like the pics and story. I'll have more later in the week for you all.
Glad to be back on the forum

Hope you all like the pics and extra time I took to put it up.

Nice rings! I couldn't imagine why the officer wouldn't cut you a break...93 in a 65 zone?!?!

I live on the border to Virginia, and yep they are no joke. They love their speed traps and I have very very rarely heard of them giving anyone a break.
As far as the finds go. WOW that blue sapphire ring? Whatever it is it sure is one sweet looking ring. Lots of great finds there.
Congratulations,
