I found this about 200 feet from where I found yesterdays ring. If it wasn't for finding that ring I would have never went back today. 30-32 degrees, snowing sideways and large waves pushed me out in about an hour. this was the last signal on my retreat. Marked 14K, and 5.8gr.

Love both but especially that second ring. The style, with the inset stones, is called a “gypsy” ring.

Nice rings!
You're valiant effort to battle the elements has paid off. :occasion14:

Thank you, I didn't know that.

The elements almost did win, a typical hunt is 3+ hours. I was done after 1 hour and got this during the escape.
 

Congrats again Mike! A couple of hefty, great looking gold rings. Braving the season's elements in the water rewarded
you nicely. You are a true diehard treasure hunter. Enjoy the Christmas & season's holidays & happy holidays to all our fellow TNetters.

Sweet Yellow Nectar!!!!! Congrats!!!!
 

The new ring has a great, artistic, look!

You’re gunna motivate me to go hunting!
 

Congrats on #2, brave soul you are for water hunting at this time of the year.
 

Nice pair of gold rings. Looks like they were worth the trip and bad weather.
 

If I were to guess I would say you were bundled up

It looks much worse than it is. I have heavy neoprene chest waders, one pair of wool socks, sweat shirts hat and sunglasses. The key is the gauntlet gloves, i think I got from a dealer in Connecticut, there called Arctic Waterproof Gauntlet Gloves. they get me through the winter.
