Sand Shark Bites First Gold

[TheInspector]

Fathers day was the third time that I have gotten to take my Shark swimming. We swam and had fun in the sun for about four hours. The two previous occasions I was limitted to about 2 hours per trip in the water and on these trips I was a bobby pin and rusty nail collecting fool. The nails likely came from piers destroyed by Hurricane IKE a few years back. Back to Fathers Day. I went to a different beach, and I am still not sure what I did wrong, but for the first hour or so in the water there were no targets. I could get a signal off my scoop though. Took a break and threw a couple of items into the dry sand and located them fine. Two minutes into my water search I found a small 14K ring with a Dolphin (Porpoise?). The ring was fairly deep, maybe 6"-10". Rest of the time I was collecting bobby pins, bottle caps and sunglasses.

Nice! Can't wait to find my first gold. Found plated gold once that got my blood pumping.. Even that keeps you going knowing that real gold is just around the corner.

I wondered about this one, but my daughter ( who is now wearing it) says its marked 14K on back.

Any gold is good gold.

I was at East Beach in Galveston. The waves were pretty high. I hope to get a chance to get back when the conditions are better.
