Returned to the beach today and hit the water, after digging a lot of junk I hit gold a 10K ring with a stone in the center and five diamonds on each side. It did have two diamonds on each side that came out. It was in the water about 6" deep....

Sorry for the crappy photo. I guess my macro went out on the camera...

Hey, if you're finding gold, I guess that's as deep as you need to go.
 
Hey Bill,
Any ID on the stone? looks like a garnet, real diamonds?

Not sure I have a friend in the jewelry business, as soon as I see him at bowling I will show him.....
 
Congrats on the ring Bill. See you in June. We can check out that beach you were talking about when I come down.
