14K and Tungsten - Last two freshwater hunts (pics added)

Hi everyone,
Here are my finds from the last two swim area hunts. I've been going really early and have had it all to myself, except for a flock of geese that seem to have taken up residence there. Last week I found the tungsten band and the necklace. I think it might be sterling, but I haven't cleaned it up yet or checked for a mark. Today I found the gold ring and 40 cents. It's 14K and has five small diamonds. It was in chest deep water and took me quite awhile to scoot it to shallower water so I could pick it up. Got to get a long handled scoop! I'm sure I was a grinning fool after that :laughing9:. HH all!

We're starting out on the NE tip of TN and working our way down to Chattagoona, up to Nashvuille, ond over to Memphis. We will hit any other spot inbetween that looks interesting. Any suggestions?

If you like fishing, try Dale Hollow Lake in Byrdstown (my area, lol). It's in northern middle Tennessee, near the Kentucky border. Great Smokey Mountains National Park is really beautiful too. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are the towns nearest it, and they are packed with things to do. Hope you enjoy wherever you go!
 

WTG,,,congrats on your finds!!:hello2:
 

sweet gold and Tungsten rings TNgirl..... looks good for your new Avatar :sunny:
 

Scooting a gold ring to the shallows to pick it up is a tough recovery technique. You do need a long handled scoop quickly with those kind of finds. Nice going. HH. Ralph
 

Oh Wow! Nice finds, The gold ring is sweet. :headbang: Nice back-drop for the picture too!
 

Gold with Ice is aways nice no pun intended.Happy hunting.:icon_thumleft:
 

Pretty ring...my wife has that same necklace and hers is not silver but yours may be.
 

Looking good ... now that just paid for that LONG handled scoop... go get some more
 

Very nice ring...
 

Very nice ring!!:headbang: Those blonde moments arent just for blondes, I am an old man and I may have caught a blonde brain disease from my blonde daughter in law. I forget why I went into a room lately.
 

YES, you need a long handled scoop. Scooting targets to shallow water is not easy. Results are nice when its gold, but scooting a pull tab to shallow water is a bummer. Happy Hunting. Papa
 

BEAUTIFUL!!!
