On The Way To The Car !!!!

[Captain PopTop]

this Cracker is doing the hillbilly shake tonight here in Ruskin , FL, after all day looking and loosing a target that was at the water line with a strong current that just kept sinking , the harder I tried the more it sank just about 15mins, I just knew that was gold, my whole body was killing me and I said to myself another day no gold, but not frustrated just more determined that tomorrow will be another day.so on my way back up to the beach to the route to my car I was about to shut it off, I said what the heck ill switch to disc and just walk with it without swinging. Feeling and im sure looking like a physical wreck started to walk/hobble the dry sand to the car not even ten feet into the walk the sound screamed in the head phones just like the one I was chasing in the beach line surf, GOLD, looked down right on top of the sand clear as day their it was! I thought at first glance it was a biggie woman's wedding ring loaded with big Ice. I knew it was the GOLDEN TICKET that has eluded me in just over a year since my last one !, any of you guys that know me I've had a lot of surgery's in the past couple years and changed my original screen name on here to the one I use now. in one of the pics is my 3 oz bracelet that was my first gold find many years ago that I've kept and wear. I've sold a lot of my finds to get threw last couple of years cause of the surgery's but I think ill keep this one. pirates love to wear our booty to show off, its stamped 14k along with some other stamp I cant make out, it weighs 7.4 grams and the 16 diamonds test reel. I was at st pete today where it was sanded in and the water was not clear then the surf kicked up and I took off my weight belt ,mask and snorkel, threw on the sun glasses and searched the low water cause it was cold and the swimm line was near the shore. this is my first gold ring with my excal . H.H. CAPT.

Congratulations on a REALLY great ring! You know fate has a way of making you wait for a long time for a little gold, and then she wows you with a great find. It just makes the hard work all that much more sweet. You earned this one.

You just never know. A couple of years ago, after hunting all day and wearing myself out, I was sitting in my vehicle sipping on a soda and trying to get my legs to move again. Well, a car pulls up next to me on the beach and this mom and young girl get out and they open the trunk of their car to get their beach gear out and low and behold that young girl looks down and finds a ladies big solitaire white gold and diamond ring. This was about 10 feet from where I was sitting. The mother shows the ring to me and on the inside of the band it says, 18K.

You didnt say "Thanks, I just dropped it?" You must have been really tired!

CPT, no more jars yet, but I would be the one gullibul enough to look for them.
