14 grams of a "junque" ring...it looked good for about a second

Forgot to post this pic with a past post a few weeks ago...it's a BIG NOTHING, but it might make

Kiana feel a bit better about the "gold " coin find that she just posted.


At first sight, I thought it might be one of those "nugget" rings...yeah, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrright!

This post / pic doesn't even warrant a reply....all can just silently lament with me

They always look good in the scoop!

 

[detectahead]

Yea, we all know that feeling! That would have been a good one to.

 

[lookindown]

That would have been a chunk of gold...too bad it wasnt.

 

[chrisplay2004]

I would have put that in my special pouch too. Still a nice find!

A fake ring is like a JOKER in a deck... Its still better than a Zink Penny!

I know what you mean. Here's a couple from my last 2 water hunts and they will scare the poop out of you for a few seconds.

I can just imagine your thought:headband:& then to find out it's not real,still a nice ring

But ..... did we have a good time? I like finding a ring .... even if it goes in the scrap can. Its kind of like dirt digging and finding a wheat penny..... rarely worth its weight, but turns the day into success.

It certainly gives you a big tingle when you see that in your scoop.

Oh, yes, DC...I have a great time every moment I am at the beach....I appreciate the beautiful scenery, the calm surroundings, and the ability to exercise while digging anything and everything...that's what this hobby is all about for me.

[ddmac60]

Still looks good to me. You do a great job cleaning and your pics are great.

 

[leprechaun]

Wah-wah - should have been real! It is a really pretty ring, though.
