My trip to the beach this morning was taken with some reluctance. I knew it was going to be cold out there and in the water I would probably freeze my patootie off! When I got there I was right it was cold out there! There was a pretty stiff breeze blowing and the water was choppy. Too choppy for me. So I decided to stay out of the water and just hunt along the edge and the wet sand areas. Right off the bat I hit a penny. Twenty minutes later... I got a nice hit. With the water washing up over my dive boots I proceeded to dig. Yeah..... I saw gold in my scoop! Now I like this! It was a small, delicate looking ring but ... gold it gold - right? The stamp was VERY tiny and I could barely make out the 10k stamped inside.
Unfortunately when I got home and got the magnifying glass out - it is stamped 10kp along with 3 other letters so I guess it is not gold after all but gold plated. No matter.... I am happy as a clam (are clams happy?) Well I am. It looked real pretty in my scoop.
Ten minutes later I got another hit and to my surprise.... it was another ring! Whoppee! But.... it looked like a junk ring. No matter a ring is a ring. When I got home and looked this one over it turned out to be not a ring at all. It looks like it might be a type of grommet or cover for something. **sigh** Oh well It had me going for a while.
Well the rest of my time down there I only found a few coins. Total time hunting this morning was 3 hours but it turned out to be a really good day in my book! I'll take it!
I hope your day is as good or better!
