1st day in the bahamas and I got my first ring. Spent about 2 1/2 hours on the pink sand beach at harbour island and after pulling a bunch of clad from America, bahamas, and england I got a nice silver gold and gemstone ring. I think the gemstone is blue topaz or aqua marine. Ring was crusty with sand but cleaned up nice. Have to fish for the next week but will be in the water first chance I get. The ring was found dry sanding with my excal but I think the water will be even better. Appears to be an older ring. Its nice quality with a silver band and gold bezel. It was found in front of the coral sands beach and bar. photo-338.JPG

Cant wait to hit the Dunmore resort and the pink sands resort. Its a nice fat stone, maybe 3-5 carats. Bad lighting in the boat ill post one up in the morning out in the sun it really lights up outside.

Good to hear ya'll finding some goodies down there with the ex-cal! Lots of rich people probably lose treasure there all the time on vacation, not to mention those islands used to be the Republic of Pirates back in the early 18th century - maybe you'll find some artifacts from the days of pirate rule! :treasurechest::headbang:

Im very lucky and blessed A2coins, I get to travel all over in my job. I work on a sportfish so im basically a paid fisherman. We do a lot of tournament fishing all over the islands. We also dive alot. Ill be in the Bahamas till june fishing for tuna , wahoo, and marlin. The family I work for have a large motor yacht that I work on too. I treasure hunt where ever we end up on my free time. It really is a dream job.my mother dove for a little while for the fishers when I was little. I go to the museum every time im down in keywest, I love that place.
