Went to one of my favorite beaches in OC this morning too see if the recent high surf that's been hitting the area caused any good erosion. Well it was visually pretty disappointing, very tiny cuts and flat wet sand. Still, despite the bleak looking conditions I decided to give the area a good search and managed to pull a 11.1 gram "750" 18k onyx ring. When I first saw It I thought junker for sure, It just has that junker look to it, but then felt how heavy it was and the "750" stamp and I was stoked! Gave it the old acid test when I got home and passed. Good targets were mostly found mid to bottom slope and were very deep. Clad count total for today was $9.33.

Thanks for looking, HH!:occasion14:
