First Hunt........First Gold..........W/ICE

[Chi Town Bruce]

Opened the new season with a wet run, testing my new equipment bought with the plunder from last year. Lake bed was hard but, no problem for my new scoop. Then came the sound we all love, She let out a moan and up came this Lady.

White Gold 14K nearly 3/4 Karet

NICE RING Great job on your first ring of the year !!!!!!!

 

[Montauk3]

Excellent find.
More info on scoop please.

 

[Chi Town Bruce]

Thanks! Montauk3,
This is a updated scoop called the Diamond Head, I also have last years model.
Simple put, It's a deep, fast digger and this year the handle floats!
Very happy with it and didn't expect that Diamond Ring but will take it.

I just took a second look at your find, drool. drool.
I am once again inspired to hit the beach today. Thanks!

 

[bbqbull]

Sweet find and sweet scoop!

 

[TreasurdiggrNY]

Fantastic looking ring Bruce, very nice wtg
So that's what the new fiberglass handle looks like, looks sweet Man but I have to go with the original stainless handle for the weight. In the surf there's nothing worse than having your gear flopping around in the surf. The lighter one you got should be killer in the lake though.

Great for you! Nice way to start it out. What machine are you using?

Montauk3, the fellow that sells that scoop is a life guard in the Tampa area. He works for Pinellas County. I ran into him last year while hunting there and he was interested in my scoop. I got his contact information, placed it in my pocket and promptly walked into the water, DUH! Got to my car later and noticed the soggy paper that was once the note.

I was going to send him some ideas I had for a scoop to see what he thought. So much for that.

Hey Bruce, I understand, I'm a recovering northerner myself.

 

[Ozzygold]

Great ring and the scoop looks awesome, thanks for the tips...

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Missed this when you first posted, NICE ring there. Bet it looked good in the bottom of the scoop!

 

[mumszie]

OOOOOOHHHHHEEEEEE That's nice ice! I love it!

 

[FloridaBill]

Congrats I know this was a while ago.. Did you ever get it appraised?

 

[Chi Town Bruce]

Thanks! again for your high fives.

No, never got it appraised, I don't think I will. My girls will wear it and that's all that matters to me now.

Did bring it to our Club meeting last Sunday, and a member took a close look and said it is a solid 3/4.
And the color was excellent, she knows Gold and Diamonds. She wears a $36.000 solitaire by Henry Winston!
And you guessed it...............found on a beach!

OH ! It did win find of the month
