:usaflag: The Smallest Diamond Ring I Ever Found!! :detecting:

[Cupajo]

The water was kicking up a bit, but I decided to take the Dual Field out anyway and after nearly three hours of being tossed about by the swells driven by the SE wind I called it a day!

Several coins and fishing sinkers and the smallest diamond ring I ever found were my reward for the struggle.

The band is marked 14K, but the band and the diamond are tiny (it stops at the first nuckle of my little finger)!

The band is so small I was surprised to see the speck of a stone.

I have found several smaller gold rings, but never with a diamond.

But it's gold. I would love to find some gold. It's the first little child's ring I've ever seen with a diamond too. Small as it is it still had to make your day. btw, how is the suit working out? --Jerry

Always nice to put gold on the pile!!

I'm still reserving the suit for times when I want to hunt in deeper wading water such as we have had for over a week now due to storm tides.

It's a lot easier to get in and out of the suit now that I have learned how and also now that I have the right zipper lube!!

I still like waders when the water is very low.

Thanks for your reply Friend,

Thanks for your reply my Aussie Friend,

So far I'm very pleased with the DF.

It can be hard to pin-point in rough water, but then there aren't many machines that do well when it's rough.

Best to Ya,

CJ

That is a very tiny gold ring CJ.
It's a wonder it didn't fall thru the
holes in your scoop. Nice find though.

I can't see the stone CJ! lol Nice hit!

 

[Cupajo]

Thanks for your replies Friends!!

The ring is about the outside diameter of a dime
and it slipped out of my glove back into the water once.

It gave a strong signal once I had it exposed.

It was near a penny which I dug first and the signal wasn't too different from the clad coin!

you finds never cease to amaze me you hit more consistently then most people hunting the same amt of time-that must be some beach ya have there-good luck on all your future hunts

Hi WoodWizard,

I hate to dis-allusion you Friend, but over the last twenty or so hours of hard hunting and even harder digging I have found this one tiny ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pay my diggin dues regularly, by removing many bits and pieces of scrap metal from "My Beach" and once in a while get lucky and strike gold.

It's funny that the harder I work, the luckier I get!!

Yesterday I spent about four hours cruising in water nearly chest deep out close to where boats moor during the summer.

Not long ago I found an 18K ring out the in the bottomless sand there so decided to search again when conditions allowed.

Yesterday I found a pile of bottle caps one at a time and a few clad coins, a short section of steel chain and several mooring anchors!!

Closer to shore I found a silver (I think) figure of Jesus about 3/4 inch tall, a cheap earring and a few yards along a plated cross to hang Jesus on!

They weren't actually made for each other, but I found digging them up so close together an interesting occurrence.

The moon phase is right for low water and I hope to get out there again this PM.

GL&HH Friends,

CJ

To continue,

Thanks for your wishes for my continuing success WW!!

A lot of hours of hunting go into every find (MY wife says too many!!), but that doesn't usually get into the posts.

Regards,

CJ
