Beach & Shallow Water Hunting
Got a chance to get out for a couple of hours this morning while the water was calming down. Ran into 3 other hunters from Seattle area.
Not much out there in the water though, ended up with 68 cents. Just as we were heading to the lot, I got a loud deep signal which turned out to be 2 cans. Not wanting anyone else to dig the bogus signal, I took the cans to the trash and bam, another nice signal. This one turned out to be a 10k with emerald and 16 small diamonds.

Incredible find - just goes to show that you'll find the best stuff where and when you least expect to.

Well done!
 

wow I guess you never know where you will find them.
 

Hey gold - digger. Beautiful ring. Did your eyes do that bug out thing (mine would)
 

Now that is one beautiful ring! Congrats!! :icon_thumleft:
 

Just downright fantastic ring! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: You just inspired me to get my rear out of the recliner and go rescue some pull tabs and foil.......
 

that is one pretty ring you found, I am surprised its 10k not 14k
 

Sweet.....rdi
 

Man that thing is smoking :o :o :o see good deeds are rewarded. If you didn't dig those can and go to the trash bin you wouldn't have found it. Very Pretty.

Nice Ring. I have often thought about spending some time around the trash cans but was not patient enough to dig all that trash.
 

wow that is one beautiful ring.. Betcha you wife grabs it... lol :thumbsup:
 

Great find Paul :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ,,, I got can shreds all day 4 hours in the water Nada zip Oh well Guzz
 

Wow that's a beauty. Congrats.

I've been 20 something hours in the water for the past 3 days and have nothing worth posting. I know one can't find something every time, but....

Good luck on the next hunt.
