Howdy all,
Over the last few days summer weather has finally arrived. We have had days in the 90's which isn't all that common for Washington, and the swim areas have been packed. So since I couldn't take it any longer I hit the water. I am glad for my wet suit because even though the air is warm the water sure ain't. Any way I hit a local swim area that has produced before almost like clock work. The signals are still real thin but there was plenty to keep me busy. Over an hour and a half I managed about 2 bucks in clad along with a couple real worn wheats. I have plucked plenty of old silver from this lake before but today it was not to be. I did on the other hand score a nice .925 silver ring as my first keeper. I was hopin I would get a payout and I was right. I kept sayin to myself there has to be gold here somewhere. I was right about that too. i nailed this great little 10KP plumb gold engagement ring. Its not the biggest or shiniest but I will take it. There has to be more there, and as long as the weather lasts I will be there to snatch it up. Hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for lookin and luck in the hunt.

Know what ya mean, JuJu. It was nice to have 90 degrees, but 2 near 100 in a row is enough for me. It does start warming up the water though.

Hey, nice ice! Sometimes it's not the karat, but the quality that makes 'em. And it still got you goin', right?

I've got a suggestion, if you want to follow up on it. Check the Seattle Times-Intelligencer (old bound copies, if possible) for lost and found ads. Lost of old rings and watches lost in Seattle, and sometimes the addresses are given, too! Ads that ran 100 years ago are unlikely to be owned by the same people today, and it cuts down the search times alot!

Nice finds JuJu. We don't get this kind of heat very often around here and I was thinking about hitting the water myself but next week is looking better with probably less people to maneuver around.
 
HI RING MAN I SEE YOUR BACK IN TO THE RINGS GOOD DIGS
 
More rings for JU JU. Way to go!!!!!! :icon_thumleft: I think teleman 2525 has the right idea. We should call you the ring man!!! Good luck in the water and be careful with the heat.
 
Nice job on the rings!

Maybe I'm sounding greedy, but if there's no name in the ring then don't return it!

Nice!!

I scored a 10KP ring myself just yesterday. Does that mean it is plated?
Nope it doesn't mean plated. It means Plumb gold which is a more accurate Karat rating. Most gold with a Karat stamp is just below there mark. For example most 14k tests at 13k or lower. Plumb gold on the other hand is on the mark or better.
