Ok, Here is the scoop:
On Jan 4th I found this silver and diamond ring guard and showed it on TreasureNet. However, because I was being hounded by a women going the what is your best find route, I quickly put the ring in my pocket w/o examining it in detail in front of her. If you're reading this you know what I mean. Only when I got home, 20 miles from the beach, did I discover it was a ring guard - and where there is a ring guard there must be a ring!
Unfortunately, because of the distraction, I failed to note my exact location (I know, I know, I have a CTX 3030 w gps) and now I was 20 miles away. I went back to the same beach 4 more times, without luck.
The fifth time was a charm...and by pure chance. I was again working my favorite low tide beach and having a good day, having already found a silver and multi-stone ring. I had just gotten a scoop of wet sand and walked up a little to a flat and signal free spot of sand to drop the load and kick it around [couldn't dip the scoop in water because of the large number of small objects falling through the scoop, including a silver and multi-stone ear ring]. I recovered the dime and, from there, proceeded down the beach when I got a good signal 12:28 on the CTX. Out came the ring. I immediately knew it was "THE ONE."
Here is a pic of the ring guard (sterling w diamonds 2.75g, 12:32) I found on Jan 4th.
Here is a pic of the ring (sterling w clear stones, not diamonds, 2.22g, 12:28) I found on Jan 19th.
Here is a pic of the two rings together, a perfect fit, on my wife's finger.
Honey, you can take the ring off now...
Honey...please...
I have a bad feeling about this...
Good hunting
