This morning was a very pretty morning. The water was clear, flat and calm and I love it that way. For the first hour or so I got nothing and figured it was going to be another one of "those" days. Not so.... I finally started hitting a few coins. I certainly did NOT find enough to retire on (WAIT...... I AM ALREADY RETIRED!) but a few coins here and there. I even brought up a small brown bottle along with a nickle in the same scoop. I saw something pink burrowed mostly under the sand on the bottom and it turned out to be a pink ribbon. I got a big square piece of metal along with a handful of nails and screws. My usual stuff.
I got a few more coins and then... well I can't even claim that I detected it because I "saw" a shiney glint out of the corner of my eye and went to check it out.... yep... it was round, buried partially in the sand and at first I thought I had a ring but.... no... it was an earring. It is only 10k but........... IT'S GOLD and my first gold for 2011 so I will gladly take it!
It was a pity I couldn't find it's mate because I really like this earring. Ah well.... no matter.... I found Gold! Yippee!
