My Finds From Paradise

Da Sand Crab · Jul 24, 2011

This will be a continual log of my finds on a weekly basis.
As the log continues you may use the "DOWN" button to bypass
what you've already seen.
Some week's will be better than others I'm sure, but I'll keep it real
and hopefully interesting.
Thanks for checking it out.
Aloha,
Da Sand Crab.

Nice rings! Were they nested together when you found them or separate?

They were found attached as one.

Had a great week.
Lots of clad.
On Thursday I found a coral crusted ring wedged in a crack on the reef.
After cleaning I was very pleased to read "SCOTT KAY PT950 BAILEY BANKS & BIDDLE"
inscribed on the inside. 11 grams of very happy

to be precise.
Saturday morning was target city. One 14k white, one tungsten/.925, one stainless and
a crushed .925. Looks like a fish chewed on it and spit it back out.

Lots of stud earrings including a 14k white gold with what looks like a aquamarine stone.
A few costume bracelets including a fake gold heart stopper.
See you again next week.

It was a grey and green kind of week.
The green being the coins and the grey being the two tungsten rings.
I got out only two times.
Got into some good clad areas. A few nice studs.
The only silver lining was the "Big Kahuna" pendant.
See you next week.

white rings?

How come you're only finding white coloured rings whether it be white gold, silver or platinum? :icon_scratch:

Surely there'd be yellow in the same areas, maybe yellow is out of fashion there. :read2:

I was thinking the same thing just the other day. :icon_scratch:

I really like seeing yellow at the bottom of my scoop.

Nice finds, I wish I had the dough to visit my many cousins in Hawaii, and bring my Tigershark along. Keep up the excellent work SandCrab, it's very inspiring to see such high quality finds. Niffler

The week was slow going until Saturday.
Decent clad counts.
On Tuesday I found a disappointing trio of rings.
Stainless steel, Tungsten and Titanium. $:-\$
On Saturday I found a beefy 14 gram, 14k white gold ring with a yellow
gold cross inlayed. ::)

I was able to follow that up with a 11.3 gram platinum band.

More studs and other costume jewelry.
Summer is coming to an end. It's crunch time.
See you at the beach.

I'm still pinching myself... I was using my Sand Shark at my favorite spot.
At the bottom of a popular cliff diving spot in water 8 to 10 ft. deep.
That's why I get so many stud and other earrings. Divers lose all kinds of things on impact.
