I pulled a Ferris Bueller today and headed out for a Monday morning water hunt in South Florida. The ocean was calm and my CTX 3030 was hitting on a lot of gold and silver jewelry in between the crusty bottle caps. My good finds for the morning include a 14K chain with small diamond pendant, a big mama jamma 14K white and yellow gold ladies with 80 small diamonds, an 18K gold wedding band, a 24K gold wedding band, a 14K two tone ladies ring with 3 diamonds, a silver and gold ring, a silver and gold ear ring. I also found 5 silver rings, a silver chain and a nice silver crucifix and the usual assortment of clad coins and fishing weights.

I have found several 22K bands and a couple of 24K bands, many places do not sell 24K bands because they are too soft, I would not want one unless I found one.

Forget pulling a ferris, if I could find gold like that I'd quit and never go back! Nice haul.
