Class ring ....

[dewcon4414]

Finally found a class ring which is going out today to the owner. Its a 2008 grad so those require a little more work. I was lucky she still lives in a small town here in Fl. Helped a lot i had her full name inside the ring. I looked inside and it was marked GV... not sure what that stands for..... but i know when you drop it on concrete, which is a quick test for me, its gold covered steel. I called her up and she said she had lost it about a week and a half ago.... pretty surprising since i know several hunter including me had been over that area. Miss and inch .... miss a mile. Her dad was more surprised..... especially when he went to give me his address and i told him i already had it. Got to love the internet. She seemed happy to be getting the ring back. I had at least 3 of these last year by this time from the snow birds that i gave back..... so been a little slim pickens this year.

Also i found the Marine ring yesterday while hunting with 3 others from on the forums. We had a great day. I learned the disadvantage of NOT being tall. CDV is about 6 inches taller than me and i was up to my neck and thru back a crem tag. Out far enough i didnt think we would get it. The tide went down a bit.... and he asked if this was the one i tossed. Yep sure was..... wouldnt you know he got a SWEET ticket in the same area. Had a great time with the guys swapping stories, detecting and just goking.

"Tall".....my hunting partner is 6'4" and 270lbs.......I'm 5'8' & 135lbs....."He gets all the deep water!" I can jump up and down on my scoop in the neck deep water without breaking through the sand (which draws a lot of curious, if not disgusted looks. ) Some sweet tickets there Dew. If only we could grow up, eh.

Next time Dew, all you will see is the tip of my snorkel....... as I walk out deeper... It was a fun day with some really nice people... FYI, I got word that a Platinum diamond band (mens) was lost in the same area after we left.

Well that class ring was there 2 weeks before it was found and i know at least 7 people had hunted there..... go get um buddy. Now everyone knows why we say hunt the low tides..... cause us short people need all the advantage we can get out there. Im just glad Mike wasnt there.... im told hes 6' 7ish.
