played hookie from work today since the weather was nice ....decided to hit a nearby lake with water levels down about 4 feet....had plenty of land to hunt that is normally under water.....hit a campground beach....nothing but tons of lead sinkers and a little clad....went to a "redneck" swimming area at the end of a dead end road...nothing but sinkers and clad.....was heading to another area i knew about and happened to see another campground with 2 or 3 piers....started finding sinkers right away.....after about 15 minutes had another sinker signal...dug it anyway and out popped this little 10k ring with 9 tiny diamond chips found a little more clad and headed home .....stopped and had the diamonds tested and they are real....jeweler said it was probably a $150 -200 ring....sure made my day since i was thinking i never find anything good when i play hookie lol...was thinking karma was out to get me.

Nice find. WTG on the ring :icon_sunny: What's a "redneck swiming area"? :D

just an informal area where people swim...this area is at the end of a dead end road ...folks just park and go swimming....no beach, picnic tables or anything
 
WTG Marty, glad to see you getting a gold ring for the new year! :thumbsup:
