Todays Water hunt, BIG hunk of gold 39.9 Grams! & Pirates!!

It was a gorgeous day in the water today, flat for the most part. When I got to the beach at 7am, they were filming a Pirate movie at one end of the beach, I tried to get their booty but they had swords :tongue3: Anyways, I found a lunker of a gold braclet. 14K and weighing 39.9 grams. It's what is known as a Hawaiian heritage bracelet and retails for $1900+ The name on it translates to FERNANDEZ. Hmmmm, doesn't sound Hawaiian ;D Also got a sterling ring and 2 sterling earrings, a couple of junker earrings, an a couple of junker anklets. Lets just say, I'm a Happy Camper... Aloha.

That's a big hunk of Gold. Congrats on the whole treasure trove for the day.
Your last pic is what the result of most of my hunts end up looking like :tongue3:
(The odd ring makes up for it though)

I found this link providing Hawaiian names, cool stuff.

Thanks all for the kind words. Every time I tried to yell "FINDERS KEEPERS" on the Pirate chest, the pirates (and film crew) kept running me off. Go figure?? :occasion14:

How does someone think they can swim with a bracelet that big on there arm. They were probable pulled under and drowned by the weight of it...lol.

Congrats on the finds.
