Here are a couple of my best finds that I sucked up with my Keene Coin Dredge in a midwest lake swimming area over the last couple of years. One is this heavy(13.5g) man's 14k gold ring. It is quite ornate as the picture shows. The other is a 14kt, white gold, engagement ring with a beautiful 1/2ct diamond. I sucked up a lot of other stuff, also, but these are the best from that lake beach

Very nice finds from your beach. Make sure your state allows the use of dredges. I didn't check on this many years ago and received a ticket for not having a dredging permit from the DNR here in Michigan. But all states are different and you did well. I wish I could have dredged some more in that area I was at.

My friend and i, both, have Keene Coin/Jewelry dredges. They are Keene modified 3" gold dredges with a shorter sluice box and a catching basket fastened to the end of the sluice box. They have 5hp Honda engines. They move a lot of material. We've found a lot of neat stuff with them.
