Hey everybody,
I went to the same beach I was at yesterday and hunted around 2 hours. I found a TON of bottle caps, couldn't move without hitting a target. I paid for my bus transportation with the 23 pesos I found, that's always a nice plus!

The bangle got me excited when I was thinking to leave, I ended up staying another 30 minutes which led me to finding this 14k gold cross, I was so excited to leave afterwards! It has the tiniest diamond in the center, I love it! I find myself looking at it often/walking around with it :laughing7:

Going to my aunt's house to do some hunting, maybe tonight/for sure tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon. I hope to strike gold again! I'll keep you folks updated.
Have a good one!

GREAT! Congrats!:hello2::hello2::hello2:

It's a beautiful piece.

I found my first gold (small 14K ring with a red stone and 2 tiny diamonds) six years ago now. I've kept it while selling off about 40 other pieces. That first one is always so special!

Now you won't have to post your stainless steel ring finds...:santasmile:

Very nice little cross. The stones might be TOPAZ or TURQUIOSE. Only a gemologist or jeweler can tell for sure. I hope the diamond is real too. :headbang:

haha yes that is true, I really like the exercise I get too. I can finally do my cardio in a manner I like, the tan is nice too :P

The cross was found in waist deep water, I only hunt in water. I never have done dry sand before, I don't think I'll be leaving wet for dry anytime soon. I like being in the water too much

Thank you everybody, about to go to bed soon for my hunt tomorrow.
