Hello guy's and girls, Just though I'd share one of my best finds. I was 10 or 11 years old, I'm 33 now. The whole family was at the beach for a BBQ, Ski beach here in San Diego. I went down to the water to play with the other kids, I was sitting on the shore with the water just past my waist, I was grabbing hand fulls of sand under the water and dropping it on my legs and watching it wash away. Well the 4th or 5th hand full of sand I notice somthing shinny, I ran back to my Dad to show him my treasure that I had found. It was a 14K Gold Nugget Ring with 3 real diamond's in it. :icon_thumleft: :icon_thumleft:

The whole thing is 10.9 Grams he held on to it for me And had it sized to 13 for me just last year and I wear it every day. I cant wait to see what I find when I pick up a metal detector!!

Happy Hunting

I lost the same ring back at my high school years ago, I tried finding it with my detector countless times with no success:sadsmiley: I'm still hoping it is still there.
