Treasure from the last few hunts, Gold Rings #120 & 121

[OBN]

Been Out three times in the past week, did fairly well. Got a Big old gold 12/11, emblem came off in the pouch but was luck to find it ... then my first clean Barber dime (1912) Saturday then Yesterday scored a small 10k Gold ring. First I thought it was a ear ring in the sifter but surprised to see it was a very small ring...Have a few more weeks to get to my goal.. a even number...

AFTER BEFORE



Saturdays Hunt.. Barber Dime....





Then Yesterdays Short hunt, 3 hours Gold #121 for 2015....

Awesome OBN, what is your goal...125? I think I dug a tenth of your total rings for 2015, but I sure did pull some sweet coins.

Great finds Joe.... Just ordered a wet suit so I can keep going through the winter on the Treasure Coast. I spent all day in Naples a week ago in the water for 7 hours without one. It was a bit chilly but well worth it. The suit will make it a breeze. Happy hunting and I hope you hit 125 by years end. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks Dew, I just wonder how much is left for me to find.. Been wearing the drysuit since the water hit below 70, just changing out to different under garments to keep warm..so far WT around 47 and air temps 43 today with some windy conditions..so far All is Good... Hope you and the wife have a very ice Christmas my friend..

You're finishing strong OBN!
Unique ring, wonder what the big stone was?

Looking cool in the pic, what's the water temp?

Thanks Hydro!!
I would have no clue on what it was but a guess would be a Emerald or a synthetic ruby.. Seems most of the older rings I dig of this style have these. Not many Blue stoned rings.

Water temp is 47.5 last time I checked, I'm good on water temps to around 34, just as long as the wind chill is not bad..down to the high 20's for air temp.

I know you guys further north really get hammered!
