18K Gold, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby and Diamonds

[Gary Drayton]

Another South Florida water hunting keeper in the scoop this morning, 1/2 ounce of 18K Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby and 26 diamonds. The original site I had chosen had three guys already in the water, but plan B worked out just fine. I was in the house all of 5 minutes before the wife confiscated the ring for safe keeping.

1) A truly Magnificent find and the stones have been tested and are real. 2) There must be some understanding between you and your wife otherwise her confiscation of the ring sounds harsh. 3) Thank you for sharing as that is a Real Fine Find!......................63bkpkr

It looks to me to be a 12 - 27 at about 12" deep with that weight....... Papa Okay Gary let us have the numbers if you can get it off your wife's finger long enough to do that..... Lol Papa

Spot on with the numbers Beach Papa, I waved the ring under the search coil and it does comes up 12-27 but, early this morning when I found the ring I did not look at the numbers even though I had my snorkel and mask on with my head in the water.
When I heard the gold tone I quickly started scooping. The signal after this ring was a penny and then I hit a nice size 18K gents ring, about 10 minutes before leaving the water I snagged a 14K wedding band. Three gold rings made for a nice Sunday morning water hunt.

12- 27 was the numbers but I only found that out afterwards, when I heard the gold tone of my CTX 3030 the first thought that crossed my mind was gold and I have to start scooping. It was not very deep, only two scoops before it was in my hand.
After two hours of digging clad and silver it was a welcome sight and I found another 18K gold ring two signals after pulling this one up.
