It is cold up here in B.C.... But with a dry suit, things can go well

Hit a lake in Vernon, B.C., yesterday. Donned the dry suit and gloves and headed out. I got the usual coinage and when this sounded, it had an almost overload signature to it... Probably a piece of a beer can or some such.

Anyway, this beauty turned up.

36 diamonds [all real, but small] set in a 10k honker. Even coming out of the lake, it glittered like mad.

I love it when gold "happens". Sometimes you kind of expect it but most of the time it catches you off-guard. That's a beauty all right. Congratulations!
 
OMG, Mikie - Lake hunting in Vernon B.C. in February!:confused: You are one hardcore pirate, Mate.:thumbup:
That is one honking big ring, Congrats.:cool:

Fair Winds, Calm Seas and No Leaks in Your Drysuit,:crylol:
 
Good for you Mikie! Congrats on the gold, that is a real beauty. Wish I were in that area, we can still drive on the lakes here in Alberta..

Hi Mikie; Way to go. Thank God for that dry suit huh.!!! :spin: As far as cold goes. We're frozen in here Boston too. :biteme: Only areas left now are the low tide flats. In Boston you need to be carfull. 350 years of pollution. You might turn several funny colors and start glowing.!!!:surprised: PEACE:RONB

Hi Mike; On the cold only one thing to say; BRRRRRR.!!!! :surrender: On pollution. they've cleaned it up a ot but I still won't look good purple,yellow, green etc.. Me and my partners just got permision to hunt a site from "early" 1700's. 87 acres of unsearched Colonial farmand just plowed. Only one word for it. SWEEEEET.!!!!!! :hot: Also when things thaw out here there is a local very old beach thats been sripped down to bare clay by the winds.Still hard as cement though.I'm dying over it.We usually find musket balls, Colonial buttons coins and some "good" jewelry. The beach dates to 1600's and is part f the origial Boston shore line as well. I'm lucky to be surrounded by history here. I wonder: Do any of you guys in Florida, Bahama's, or Gulf Coast "ever" find Colonial items or do you just keep it uner wraps so to speek????? Not to pry. Love to the pics. :ninja: :biggrin: PEACE:RONB

It was THE place to go swimming, picnicing, or relaxing. For decades, it was used. From the 1880s until the 1940s, all manner of activity happened there. Unfortunately, it too became extremely polluted over the years. I found silver coins that were so heavily sulphided that when cleaned, they all but disappeared due to the thinness of the metal.

However, the gold rings that I found, and there were dozens and dozens of them, were all unaffected. Mind you, they all were 18k or above.

No colonial stuff up this way. I have found a 2 real piece though.. Who knows what the next target will be.?? :):

Way to go Mikie!

One nice looking ring!!

I'm beach combing every day wearing 4-5 layers of warm clothes, but the hunting here has been too cold for me!!!

Just one day with temps in the 30s and no wind, with sunshine and a schedule that allows me time to get into the salt water!!!!

Is that too much to ask??

That sun comes up earlier every day and it will soon be warm enough.

'til then I'll just have to enjoy hunting the "web" so I can enjoy the stories from Hunters like yourself until I can get out there and create a few stories of my own.

All the best to you and your Lady Mikie,

CJ
 
Ah the TVR, a Mate of mine worked at the dealership that sold them in Toronto back in the 80's. He hit a pole coming home from a party and cut the car in half, miraculously he wasn't hurt except for a lot of bruising and some cuts from when the windshield exploded.
Great cars but an insane weight to horsepower ratio.

I like your style, Mate.

Cheers,

Eric
 
GOOD JOB ON A COLD DAY ,NICE FIND.:beers::twodetecting:

I had one, in the late 70s... As you said, powerful beyond belief.... Wish I had it now though..

Totally impractical as regards to a family... but fun, fun, fun to drive.
