Ft. Lauderdale Beach Yields Gold & Silver!!!

Wen't to bed last night thinking I'm going to sleep in since the water was so rough and dirty with sea weed yesterday at South Beach. Woke up at 6am and looked out my window and noticed the wind had stopped. Low tide was at 845am so I figured I'd drive to Lauderdale beach and give it a try since I hadn't been there in so long.

As I got to the beach I noticed that the wind was slightly off shore, which would make it flat. Then I'm getting pissed off thinking I shoulda went to SoBe again. I put some quarters in the meter and went in the water. The water was warm, crystal clear and flat!

Hunted for about 2hrs and was just finding some clad and junk jewelry. Looked at my watch and saw that my time was out and didn't want a parking ticket. I decided since it was such a beautiful morning that I would spend another 1 1/2hrs. Took off my t-shirt since it was so hot and figured I'd get some sun.

Walked back into the water, put my headphones on and turned on the trusty Excalibur. Took about 3 steps and get that nice tone I like to hear. On the first scoop I pulled out this nice 14k diamond ring! I figured I'd hunt that spot hard and about 10 min later pulled out a mens .925 silver ring. Took the ring in and had it diamond tested and they were real! Needless to say the ride home was great!!!

Thanks for looking!

That's a sweet ring surfrat! Did they say how much it may be worth, or how many carats it is? I found a gold band today, but nothing like that diamond encrusted beauty.

There are 2 rows of 8 diamonds 5 points apiece. .80 carat total. Looped them and all have good color and clean. Couldn't see any carbon!

Thanks all for looking!

Thanks Vicki! Funny about the pinpointer. I should have gave you mine, but by the time I heard you had lost another, I traded it in with my Quattro for the Excalibur!!

I'm sure your hubby will make sure you don't lose this one! LOL!!

Re: Ft. Lauderdale Beach Yields Gold & Silver!!!

Thanks for the thought Surfrat. I think I'm going to have to put some kind of tether on it like they do for surfboards, that way if I drop it it'll just drag along behind me. LOL!

I know what you're talking about. I have a lease on my surfboard! Just gotta be careful it doesn't hit you when you wipe out and it comes flying back!!
